I really need to get my X-Vario out more, it has been taking a back-seat to the Fuji of late, but the Fuji has moved on.

Love the files from the X-V.

Gary, the X Vario remains an extremely under-rated camera which is capable in many fields. I am heartened by the dearth of good used models on the market. It suggests to me that most models made have found genuinely appreciative owners who are reluctant to sell them. It is such a shame that Leica appears to have lost interest in the model.

I agree David.

It's certainly not better spec'd than anything comparable of late, certainly not better than my X-Pro2 was. Far from it. But as a usable camera, it is hard to beat.

It has something hard to pinpoint, but it has it.

Agreed, if Leica slipped out an update or two, the market would have something to talk about. And that's where the Fuji shined, as a company they looked after even their oldest versions. That in itself builds a loyal customer base.

Thank you David.

 

Honestly, for 99% of my use the JPEG's straight out of the camera are more than adequate. They're sharp, and well detailed, and I tend to use the X-Vario in B&W mode with the RAW as a colour backup if required.

 

I don't muck with them much but a while back I took the RAW in LR and tried to replicate the B&W JPEG which the X-Vario had provided. It proved a fruitless exercise, and since then I've simply used the JPEG's as is.

Where I find the X-Vario shines is close-ups, either with or without the ELPRO attached.

This one without ELPRO.

I wish I could produce B&W as good as the Vario's jpegs from my M9/Silver Efex Pro; try as I might, I can't come up with anything as good. Does anyone have the formula?!

Good afternoon.

I am a beginner, take in the ranks. :)

Walk in the center of Moscow ...

 

P.S. Sorry if I have violated restrictions for beginners.

Edit, please, if you want.
