Got a new to me film camera (SWC), and wanted to try it out today, negs look good.

Took the X1 in the bag as well, takes little room, uses little processing power if you just can't be bothered thinking.

A smattering of the dozen or so shots I took, still loving this camera.

All JPEG from the camera, shrunk to fit the forum, with a very very modest curves adjustment.

Again Alpe Devero

Unfortunately my Leica X1 has serious problem of dust on the sensor which require intensive postproduction work to be corrected (and not always possible).

On the other side to have it cleaned it is necessary to send it to Wetzlar with a cost higher of the commercial value of the camera  :(

I was planning to replace it  with a T and the 23/F2 but not so sure...time to think !

Beautiful photo Robert. If you can get by a while (assuming dust is minor) maybe take time and make a good choice :)  The T definitely has a different look and feel to it than other Leicas at least that is my experience. David

Trying to get my 4 dogs in focus with the X1 is a joke... from time to time I can get one.

Rivi, trying to get four dogs in focus with any camera would be a very big challenge; unless they were highly disciplined and responded to being lined up for a show. Even with more modern autofocus technology it would remain a serious challenge. Most viewers would be more than pleased to get one dog sharp, with an endearing expression with the others less so in the background. I feel you are expecting too much from an older camera. However, with patience, it is surprising what you can do.

 

Here is a link to one of mine taken with the X1 of two pets interacting with each other for a brief second or two.  http://www.davidaskham.com/pets-leica-x1

David,

 

That's a great shot of your dog and cat! and you are so right: "the best animal pictures are the natural ones where you sometimes have to accept small compromises" I think that phrase applies to everything regardless of pets or people; the best pictures are the natural ones. That is why I am such a fan of Joel Meyerowitz work, he manage to capture unique moments that cannot be replicate.
