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

I also have 2 D2’s, one that my 14-year-old son uses, and one that I use, particularly for landscapes (mostly b&w) or when I need a zoom. It partners well with my M8, 40mm Summicron, and 21mm Skopar. I’ve bought and sold a few D2’s over the years, but I always come back. I just love the lens, the color, and especially, the in-camera b&w! Oh, I almost forgot the Elpro-D. My go-to macro setup!

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

The superb colour is a hallmark of D2 pictures as you've found.  I still have 2 D2's although they don't venture out of the house as often as they might but I find that when I do take one of them with me I enjoy using it so much and its pictures so much that it gets used quite often for a while.

Almost the same with me. Still love my M8, the D2 and the little pocketable C 112. Next to the D2 I also have the X Vario (superb lens sensor combination) that could be seen as a successor for the D2. If one of these two had to go, a difficult decision, the D2 would remain but for the moment they all stay. There is something special I like in handling the D2, it's digital but feels more like using an analog camera. Just purchased a new battery and also a usb charger.

Soft flat lighting is superb for floral nature shots.

I went on a bit of a spending spree this quarter & finally, after many years, picked up a LW69 wide angle adapter. I have not had the chance to put it to good use yet (it *IS* remarkably heavy!), but I am planning to work solely with the Digilux and the adapter for the next couple of weeks.

For now, I share this dynamic black and white picture of...a wall. Edited in Lightroom.

So good to see the D2 and LC1s still kicking...let's keep the pictures coming!

 [ Tamas, I wonder if you could re-post your photo of rocks and water to the "Do Digilux 2 Photos Have Distinctive Look" thread. A lot of D2 owners, such as me, may have thought their 5mp cameras wouldn't support that large a print. A technician in a photo shop once looked at one of my files and told me it would print to 18 x 24 inches, which I was glad to hear, but I haven't tried it. Looking at your shot, I now think I will. ]

Jethorst, as requested: print size 60 X 60 cm - 50% cropped

Hi Leica Forum,

Like many of you, I've returned home to the D2. I had, and sold, two to " upgrade " to more MP. etc. However never could capture with other cameras, that D2 look I so fondly remembered. Accordingly, eventually sold it all and came home. Now the proud owner of two lovely D2(s), serial numbers 3013xxx and 3013xxx.

Best, Angus

P.S...many more here...https://www.flickr.com/photos/gusmur2/

Hi all, first post from Singapore and glad to find this forum. I have been collecting older CCD cameras lately and was fortunate to find a mint D2 in Japan last Dec (just 2 months after I purchased a Fuji X100 which provided me some basic training ~ thankfully). 

Here's one random shot, JPEG SOOC (F8 ISO100) which I tried many times to reproduce with other CMOS / CCD cameras but failed miserably.... I still find it hard to believe. So I'm keeping this magical camera in good care only for use when I need to produce something special, while X100 is my manual setting "practice" camera. 

Anyway hope I'm doing right to resize this 3mb+ pic below to 500kb size for attachment?, and look forward to learning from everyone here. 

Best,

Perfectly fine; just give it a bit of sharpening :)
