How to upload images: Prepare the image as follows: 1.   The image should be sRGB and 8-bits 2.   Reduce the size to 2480 pixels on the longest side. (smaller sizes can be set, but are not recommended) 3.   Sharpen properly for screen. 4.   Save as JPG to your desktop, reducing JPG quality to produce 2000 kB (5000 kB for sponsoring members). 5.   In Lightroom these parameters should be set in the Export dialog. 6.   In the Forum posting or editing box, click “c

When I look back over my Digilux 2 photos, I fall in love  with that camera all over again. There is certainly something to be said about the Leica photos....and for me...it's the softness of the high

To minimise camera shake, all pictures taken with the 3-images burst mode.

I have both the Digilux 2 and Digilux 3 in like new if not mint condition. Have purchased some extra lenses for the D3 model.

Even though the Pixel rating is not that of current models, it's fine for 11x14 or smaller. The quality of build in these models is outstanding. You will be happy with yours.  :)

Greetings everyone! 

 

I'm yet another person that got hooked on this absolutely wonderful camera. After drooling for a while I went ahead and purchased a Digilux 2 through this forum. 

Although this is my first post here, I've been hanging around for a few weeks gathering info in preparation of my recent purchase. And I have of course also admired the pictures in this thread (the whole thread). 

 

My ambition is to go 100% manual with the Digilux 2. After handling the camera for a few days I have realized that I have a lot to learn. But I already have concluded that there really is something special about this camera.

The "distinctive look" that everyone mentions is really there, and although this is apparent from just browsing this thread, it becomes really apparent when you actually use the camera. 

 

This photo is one of the first ones I took with the camera. It's taken in Gothenburg (Sweden) the day after some heavy snowfall.

Welcome and congratulations with your Digilux 2. I'm sure you will like it. From my point of view the D2 is still the most analog digtal camera in its handling. Hope we will see more pictures from you

Welcome, Etienne, and congratulations on purchasing your D2!  I look forward to seeing more of your pictures. :)

Neuer, good for you! I too have the Digilux2 and Digilux 3 in absolute mint condition. I protect each one with a Luigi Leicatime handcrafted leather case, which only adds to the enjoyment of using them.

The Digilux 3 model came with the 14-50mm lens on it, but I was able to purchase a mint Leica 14-150mm zoom and use that most of the time. Both cameras are just a joy to use and prove beyond a doubt that an older Leica can still produce stunning photos that rival even the newer models. Just love seeing the photos some of you guys post on this thread.   :)

I was experimenting a bit with the ISO 400 setting a while back. Under most circumstances it's simply just not usable... 

However, Iv'e noticed that in some conditions, and for a certain style of picture, it actually works rather well.

 

The noise at ISO 400 is quite different from what you get at ISO 100 (and way more noticeable, of course!), but it's still nice under the right conditions. 

As many have pointed out before; It's reminiscent of what you sometimes can see in old photographs (taken with analog film cameras). 

 

Anyhow, going back to ISO 400 specifically, I get the impression that the noise in some way is more forgiving when it comes to movement.

This is an example of when I think it works really well. It's not a fantastic image, but illustrative. 

The first one is the complete picture (but re-sized), and the second one is a 100% crop. 

 

I do find the 100% crop to be a bit "hard" on pixel-level. It reminds me a bit of 3D renderings with bad anti-aliasing. But if scaled down about 20% it works just fine.

I took this one earlier this month, during a long walk in the woods. 

I'm not really sure who is enjoying the sounds of the forest the most; my wife or the dog...

Here's some from today, taken in a small Ohio town named Seville. Do you remember "The Barber of Seville"? Well one shot is of the 145 year old barber shop, located here in Seville,Ohio, USA.

All taken with the Digilux 2 with it's beautiful Summicron zoom lens. Enjoy.  :)

Having problems with uploading photos. They are less than the maximum size but still get error" "too large to load". Not sure why, they are small enough. Really need to change this maximum size limit.
