A piece of history in an ever-changing world. Is the V-Lux your everyday travel camera?

 

Hi David

Yes, it is.  I think it's a wonderful piece of kit.  Like many here, I have other Leica kit to choose from, but I think for travel the VLux is hard to beat.  I wandered around London in the heat last week with my SL and 24-90.  And I was knackered at the end of it.  Now, I'm sure the results might have been better than the VLux (in hands other than mine anyhow), but in my amateur hands I think the VLux would have done as good a job in reality.

And although one could not call the VLux cheap, I'd sooner drop or lose it than I would any of my M kit or the SL!

Regards

John

Ring necked parrot:

This is a special photo for me. I got the V-Lux exactly 2 weeks before this trip. It being mid February in Wisconsin I had very little opportunity to practice beyond odds and ends around the house. 

So for all practical purposes this my first real photo with the V-Lux. It is shot in full Auto to at least ensure a reasonable photo. 😊

Thank you John. A wise choice. The excellent pictures shown in this thread demonstrate how versatile the camera can be with some highly impressive close-ups. Much depends on the expected destiny of our individual photography. Certainly for amateur (that is non-professional) photography,  the V-Lux is more than capable of returning extremely good results.

I bought mine mainly to help me identify birds in the garden, particularly migrants who often spend no more than an hour or so per year while in transit. But I have been inspired by the excellent results you and others attain on a regular basis. The V-Lux is a little on the bulky side, but saves significantly on weight; is well-made and highly capable in some challenging situations. Only today, in pouring rain I noticed a bird on the lawn apparently in distress. I grabbed the V-Lux and shot through heavily rain-impaired double-glazed windows only to discover that a pigeon seemed to be having a shower in yoga positions. The picture is of low quality and not in this league to be shown. But it served my purpose of solving a mystery in nature without even leaving the house..

What a stunning monochrome portrait of a very fine animal. Maybe a little picky, but it would have appealed even more with stronger eye contact.
