kelvin48 Posted July 12, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 12, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) So i was thinking if i can add a wide angle lens converter on my dlux 109 is this possible? And can it go with any converters for 43mm? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 Hi kelvin48, Take a look here Lens converter for Leica dlux 109. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ChrisRL Posted July 12, 2016 Share #2 Posted July 12, 2016 Kelvin, hello! Hmm... why would you want to add a wide? I believe the 109 has a panorama mode, correct? Or just take two or three and photo-stitch them in Photoshop? Unless it's a specific wide-angle shot you need, in which case use a camera with a wide angle lens? Sorry don't mean to be obtuse, just thinking out loud. The 109 is a great little camera and they thought of most things one might use it for, and if you're out shooting a landscape, then the pano mode is pretty great. But of course it won't do super wide or super tele because of its size. We carry 114's for that kind of thing. Best C Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelvin48 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted July 13, 2016 Cause I am going to Europe next month, and I want the wide angle lens to do its magic when I am going to shoot the landscape/buildings/churches. I can't afford buying another camera cause I am student... So I guess buying a wide angle lens converter would be the most possible way.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 13, 2016 Share #4 Posted July 13, 2016 As others said, use the Panorama mode. That way you can increase the angle of view without losing ( actually whilst increasing) image quality. There are good reasons why Leica will not offer such a converter. The quality will be impaired, even with elaborate optics, on third-party converters, assuming you can find one, it will be abysmal.

mikemgb Posted July 13, 2016 Share #5 Posted July 13, 2016 I doubt you'll find the 109 limiting, mine is my travel camera and as has been stated above, if I need a wider angle I use the panorama mode, for the most part I find the lens on the 109 plenty wide enough.

Steve49 Posted July 22, 2016 Share #6 Posted July 22, 2016 why would you want to add a wide? I believe the 109 has a panorama mode, correct? Or just take two or three and photo-stitch them in Photoshop? ------ The panorama mode has two limitations 1. It only gives a jpeg not a raw file which severely limits the range of colours recorded and does not allow for good processing in lightroom. 2. It is useless if you have movement as the separate images are taken. i.e. moving trees or boats, cars etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted July 23, 2016 Share #7 Posted July 23, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) @ 2: There is not much moving by churches and buildings which the OP wants to use it for. @ 1: You do not need a panorama mode for a panorama. If you shoot a careful series of overlapping shots you can merge them into a panorama in Photoshop or use one of the stitching programs available.
