johnloumiles Posted April 18, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 18, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi All I'm a regular X1 user but I also have a DMC-L1 in my collection with the standard D Vario-Elmarit 2.8-3.5 14-50mm lens. My question is...since this is identical to the DigiLux 3 can the Panasonic version with Leica lens be used in submitting pictures to galleries on this site and others geared towards Leicas? It's one of those grey areas since the aforementioned galleries have places for Panasonic made Leicas to be displayed, like the D-Lux, V-Lux and Digilux. What are your thoughts on this? I would love to hear them as I have no preference one way or the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pop Posted April 18, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 18, 2011 As long as you use the Leica lenses, you can use any body whatsoever. There's quite a crowd here which uses the DMC-L1 and DMC-LC1. Welcome to the crowd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnloumiles Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted April 18, 2011 Thank You Phillipp! Are there any threads or galleries in particular on this site I should visit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted April 18, 2011 Share #4 Posted April 18, 2011 You might try your luck in the Digital Forum (http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/digital-forum/). Be sure not to miss the Photo Forums with loads of good and interesting pictures. If you happen to read some German, there are the equivalents in that language, too. Enjoy.

Paul Reading Posted April 24, 2011 Share #5 Posted April 24, 2011 Presumably by the same logic you can post photo's with a CLE if you have used Leica lenses but not Minolta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnloumiles Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted April 24, 2011 Paul , is that a bad thing? Wondering where you stand on the subject. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted April 24, 2011 Share #7 Posted April 24, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) It's all spelt out in the forum's rules (http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/rules.php): Prerequisite for placing a photo is that it has been made with Leica equipment and/or has a strong relationship to a Leica subject. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes the use of Leica lenses on third party bodies, Leica lenses on Leica partner cameras (e.g. Panasonic) and the use of third party lenses on Leica bodies. In general, photographs taken without the use of Leica equipment are not permitted. Needless to say, it also includes Leica lenses on Leica bodies, I would presume.
