This afternoon with a +5 marumi macro lens ....... I have a couple lying about and handily they are 49mm ......

Bees are a real bu**er to shoot as they are never still ..... and it was windy as well ..... but the fast AF make shots like this fairly easy ..... even from 5cm .... handheld

... in fact focussing and DOF was the least problem .... even 1/500 sec was barely fast enough ...

Blown away by the sharpness and detail of that one!

 

What is the difference between the Marumi lens and the macro mode included with the Q?  Does the Marumi let you focus closer?  Because I'm finding out in my experimentation with the macro mode that an even closer focus distance would really help me.

Just uploaded on Flickr.  .....the sharpness of this Q is impressive! I own also a D800E with Sigma 35mm Art but this Leica is as sharp as the D800E and Sigma, and maybe more sharpen than D800E, because Lightroom can read the 100% of infos on dng, with the Nikon only the original softwares can do it, and they are terrible for process the raws. So Leica Q maybe is sharp as the D800E/D810 but with fully Lightroom compatibility I noticed that I can achieve better results!

Love this shot. Please forgive my ignorance but how did you freeze the drummer and blur the others? Two photo's merged? Thanks, Simon

At first I thought the answer to your question was simple.  The people in the foreground are moving fast and the drummer is not moving at all.  

 

However, I notice the drummer's hands are not blurred.  You would think that if he was playing the drums, his hands would be moving and therefore blurry.  So there is a possibility that he was pausing in his playing, making the whole image sharp.

 

The alternative is that, as you said, the photographer combined two images.  That seems hard for me to believe, especially since I think the lack of movement in the hands doesn't add much to the photo.  It seems unlikely to me that the photographer would combine two images just to make the hands sharp instead of blurry.

 

So interesting thoughts, but no definite conclusion.  

 

Kudos to the photographer for an excellent image .
