daveleo Posted June 28, 2011 Share #61 Posted June 28, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Agreed, Dave. Or mine. Is there anything much sexier than skin-tight leather with a snake-like silk strap. (I do like the all-black LC-1 too.) Pete. [ATTACH]265216[/ATTACH] oooooo, she is cute . . .

Advertisement Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Hi daveleo, Take a look here Digilux 2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jmooney Posted June 28, 2011 Share #62 Posted June 28, 2011 Well looks as though I've joined the club. Just won a Digilux 2 on eBay and the money has been sent so now the waiting game begins.... I was going back and forth between the Dlux 5 and the X1. The X1 makes BEAUTIFUL files but it's not inexpensive. I have large arthritic hands so I am so looking forward to a decent sized camera to hold and big rings and dials. Once I can bear to part with it for a bit, I'm sending it to cameraleather to get covered in British Racing Green leather! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted June 29, 2011 Share #65 Posted June 29, 2011 I did my Hexar in green . . . Love the way it looks. So do I, Dave! Mine's a (black) RF so it can't be recovered very easily although I'm okay with how it looks now. Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenonzinonos Posted June 29, 2011 Share #66 Posted June 29, 2011 I just looked. There's one there for $760 Still not cheap, but that's close to the lowest price I can recall. There's one listed for €520 which I believe is very reasonable - it's not mine, btw! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandrews Posted June 29, 2011 Share #67 Posted June 29, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've just got a bit carried away on bidding on one. Will have to wait for that to finish now.... Fingers crossed. Love the new leather cladding some of you guys have had done. Would love one in tan leather..... One step at a time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted June 30, 2011 Share #69 Posted June 30, 2011 Azeredo - Lovely. BTW: We refer to the Digilux 2 as D2, not DL2. DL2 sometimes refers to the tiny D-Lux 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeredo Posted July 1, 2011 Share #70 Posted July 1, 2011 Azeredo - Lovely. BTW: We refer to the Digilux 2 as D2, not DL2. DL2 sometimes refers to the tiny D-Lux 2. You are absolutely right. Is, and always will be D2. I was reading about DL-4 and DL-5 and did the mistake when wrote here. Age problems Azeredo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMJ Posted July 1, 2011 Share #71 Posted July 1, 2011 Well done.My DL2 is more classic ( Seal Grain black) The second one will be more fancy Azeredo Very nice - would love to have mine look the same - how is it done? /BMJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeredo Posted July 1, 2011 Share #72 Posted July 1, 2011 Very nice - would love to have mine look the same - how is it done? /BMJ Is easy. Go to Cameraleather Leica Digital Point and Shoot read all the instructions, specially the "wet method", choose what you want, then you have two options; send the D2 to cameraleather , or buy the D2 Kit and do it yourself. Morgan Sparks is a tremendous person, always helpful. Azeredo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinocchio Wood Posted July 2, 2011 Share #73 Posted July 2, 2011 Has anyone enquired about the "for repair" D2 on eBay at present? Is there any point in having one for spares? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Reading Posted July 2, 2011 Share #74 Posted July 2, 2011 I love the camera but I am frustrated with the low resolution. I can't even use a shot as a desktop photo because my 27" iMac has a higher resolution screen so images look quite grainy. I am considering ebaying it to buy a D Lux 5 but can't bring myself to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveleo Posted July 2, 2011 Share #76 Posted July 2, 2011 Running the numbers, the D2's 5Mp sensor is good for 8"X10" prints at 240ppi resolution. This is a very good quality resolution, although professional work often requires 300ppi printing. I have printed some D2 scenics at 11"X14" and there are not bad at all. I love my D2 but it's biggest fault is the noise above ISO100. Technically, a 27" monitor (assume 15" tall ??) with 96ppi resolution = 27 X 15 X 96 X 96 = 3.7Mp. So with a 5Mp image, your screen is showing almost every single pixel. Add to that any noise and, yeh, the 27" image is not going to knock you out. PS . . . don't rush out and buy more megapixels on a small sensor . . . if you need hi-res hi-Q images, you need a bigger sensor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted July 2, 2011 Share #77 Posted July 2, 2011 The 21.5-inch iMac features 1920-by-1080 resolution. The 27-inch iMac boasts even greater resolution of 2560-by-1440 The D2 makes pictures with a resolution of 2560 by 1920 pixels. Using an image taken by a D2 at full scale (100%) ought not present any problems: Welcome, dear visitor!

stuny Posted July 3, 2011 Share #79 Posted July 3, 2011 That works remarkably well. Not all the replacements went well with the silver and black of the body and lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinocchio Wood Posted July 3, 2011 Share #80 Posted July 3, 2011 FYI, overnight a not working D2 with only a battery - no lens cap, accessories, software Etc. Perhaps suitable just for parts, but appearing to be in good condition. Sold for USD331. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
