Do Digilux 2 photos have distinctive look?

I so much like my Digilux, especially at '90mm', manual setting the exposure is such a joy:

Introducing Stanley - DMC-LC1, 90mm autofocus (macro) - jpeg, no corrections just crop and resize... what a camera!

Hey all! I've been lurking here for a while (years). Got a D2 a while back, love it. Here are a couple of B&W shots from it...

 

My daughter Anna, upset because she couldn't catch a chicken.

 

My son Miles, having just crammed a bite of a lamb chop in his mouth.

Welcome to the forum (at last!), Hypnosapien.

 

Two lovely pictures.

22mm (90mm) @ f/2.4 is the best way to cheat the Digilux 2's sensor. If the camera has one image let down its the "everything in focus" look. These two images are perfect examples of how to coax a little Leica glow from it. Very nice!

Thanks for the kind words! I do love the bokeh at this focal length...

Great shots Hypnosapien. They have a wonderful sense of... personality.

 

I'm a cat lover so shots of Stanley et al are always going to score highly with me. Very nice.

 

I think it is fair to say that setting the D2 up for a shot is also a huge part of the enjoyment for a lot of D2 owners Misiekbunnik. Very nice shot, by the way. I love the way you've captured the texture of the glass.

Amin, having a 5D too, I think you will find the little D-2 will be an excellent addition. I like to use the D-2 for most of my travel shots because its so handy and a dream to use. Although I do love my M9, I find that when I go through my pictures it seems that I end up seeing more of the D-2 shots. The little flash is ok, however I really like to add another flash for more even exposures. Usually when using a shoe mounted flash I use the bounce technique off the ceiling when I can. Here are a few shots using this technique with the little D-2.

Shot this at a Historic Series Racing (HSR) event at Palm Beach International Raceway. The gentleman on the left was giving charity rides in a '28 Riley. Unfortunately the only helmets available for the passengers were modern full-face.

I have picked up my D2 a few days ago in excellent conditions a very well made camera. Is the body Titanium ? Tried a few shots found the 400 ISO to be to noisy , so I think I shall be using it like a sports car and take it out on sunny days. The flash I was impressed with for such a small one. Will be looking for some tips on this forum to get the best out of my D2 certainly is a classic camera. I have posted a couple of my first shots taken with the D2.

Welcome to the forum, Fitou143!

 

It looks like you've made a good start with your D2. I find that ISO400 as in-camera b&w jpegs can produce a pleasant, grainy, film-like look.

Fun shot!

Yet another shot of our neighbour's cat who likes to spend its afternoons in our living room.

I had seen maybe 2 interesting cat photos on the web before this. Your's makes 3. Credit to you and the Digilux 2.

Phillip, excellent model; excellent framing and lighting within the chair. Lovely picture!

[pop]

Ted and David - thank you very much; you're both very kind. To be quite truthful, the cat and the camera did most of the work. I just happened to be there.

In Berkeley Square Mayfair yesterday took a couple of shots including this new statue that has appeared there.

The D2 delivers - AGAIN!!!

 

In addition to the photo, I also really like the statue - it could be the subject of many photographs - especially from angles that include the sky (e.g. on a full moon one could juxtapose the moon to the earth (I assume) in the statue.)

 

I'd like to learn more about the statue, do you recall the name/artist from the plaque I see int he background?

 

Thanks,

 

Alberto

I really enjoyed taking out my newly acquired Leica digilux-2 this week for a first round of outdoor shots... best results i got when shooting manual though... I love holding and using that camera with its lovely lens.

Alberto thanks for your comments have only had my D2 a couple of weeks and am really enjoying using it.

 

The statue is "The force of nature II" by contemporary sculptor Lorenzo Quinn in Berkeley Square Mayfair in London. It is quite an impressive statue modern for its location in a historic location.
