Newbie onboard

Greetings

 

I am new to Leica and recently acquired a used X1 (silver/black). After much research I settled for the X1 based on its minimalist design/controls, size, performance (the slow AF does not concern me in the least), and picture quality. I will mainly be using the X1 to capture still objects, landscape, and architecture. I hope to have fun with this little camera and will rather enjoy the "learning curve" in getting the best pics.

 

Over the next few years I intend to hone my photography skills and then reward myself with a M caliber setup.

Welcome onboard. You've made a very good start choosing the X1, The whole Leica experience orbits around the idea of "think and shoot" rather than "point and shoot" and the X1 will take there. However, I don't know if it will take years for before you get an M, the bug is well established inside you now, and it's gonna be a matter of " short" time before you get completely infested :-)

Welcome to the forum and Leica X1 ownership. The camera is fairly basic yet highly competenet and rewarding to use.

 

Consider setting up a new profile (#1) which will cover your normal method of working. If you need any help, pm me. By zeroing your camera before a new shooting session to that profile, you know exactly how the camera will perform.
