Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall from a couple of years back that Peter Karbe pooh-poohed the idea of putting any sort of filters on the Leica X Vario. The other day I happened to see that the Leica AG site is touting the use of the "new" E43 UVa filter on the XV. Naturally, curiosity got the better of me, and I ordered one. It arrived this past Thursday at the same time another UV filter came for my non-Leica rangefinder. 

 

Needless to say, I was a little miffed that the competitor's UV filter was pristinely packaged. The Leica filter was even more impressive, packed in a plastic foam padded box inside the usual black and silver card box, which was packed inside a white box. The shipper (a large NYC photo store), had packed it in so much bubble and airbag wrap in a box the size of a good clothbound book! The reason I was miffed? I found that I had to clean the Leica E43 UVa filter not once but thrice, for there was so much dust and a glaring fingerprint. Needless to say, it is clean, and I took it out for a test spin at Pecos National Monument Park just a few miles out from Santa Fe. Here begins a series of some of the photos taken on this gorgeous day. Think I like my XV even more . . .

Pesos began as a Pueblo settlement, eventually reaching some 2,000 people before the Spanish conquistadors came pushing and shoving through in 1518. What's left are some ruins of the old adobe church and foundations of the original settlement. Though we didn't see any today, there are rattlers lurking about, an so the posted sign at the beginning of the trail:

Now that we have that out of the way, we can proceed. The vistas are incredible. The settlement is perched on a plateau, not exactly a mesa, but it was fairly secure and close to the Pecos River, surrounded by mountains.

The  Native Americans harvested piñon nuts (pine nuts), which are still handpicked today for making a special blend of coffee that's popular here in New Mexico. There are other interesting flora. This one looks like it might be a relative to gorse.

No snakes today, but there was a lizard sunning itself in the ruins of the old Franciscan church ruins—and it isn't easy to spot . . .

Shapes fascinate me, especially in bare ruined choirs, like these doorways, which are not made for six-foot-tall folk.

The clouds in the distance actually lines up nicely with the angle of the wall . . .

Though the church lies in ruins with its old beams broken and falling away, the foundation barely hangs on, but the old mountains are here to stay.

Lovely series Eric.

I bought a competitors brand UV while overseas last year, decided I wanted to protect the X-V front element. Its was nice, but little things annoyed me. I cannot have the filter on if I want to use the genuine case, it simply won't close. This isn't confined of course to the competitors only.

In the end I don't use it as I like to use the case.

Thank you. 

 

I found as I went through the day's photos that in certain pics taken at the effectively 28mm end, there was some distinct corner vignetting, which will require either modest cropping,r a mental note to frame the subject(s) appropriately, or leave the filter off when shooting a series at the wide end of the lens. 

 

I carry my camera with the lens hood and cap on "loose" in my camera bag, as I always have the EVF attached. Perhaps the UVa filter and lens hood combination is overkill in terms of protection, but I did find them a nice combination yesterday in the well lit Land of Enchantment. There was even one photo that "suffered" lens flare despite the UVa filter and the lens hood, but it made for an interesting picture that became my current screen background.

Yeah, I like the flare, it "adds" to the shot.

Don't get me started about the external EVF, it was my most critical area, for a while. The camera case I have is redundant if you use a filter or the EVF2. Similar situation when I had the T. So you needed to store and transport within a larger case, something that went against the whole idea of getting a small light camera.

I have mellowed since, and actually find that I only slip the EVF2 on if really needed, otherwise simply shoot "tourist mode". Weathering glasses has a fair bit to do with this.

Either way, the camera is an absolute stunner, very happy.

It's that time of year, the weeds are sprouting in the paddocks and these seeds are popping up everywhere. Our grand-daughter loves them, calls them "Fairies".

I tried the X-Vario on them, (and the X1, but this is in the other post), in combination with the Elpro V1b. Slightly cropped.
