I'm not sure I entirely agree--even though I probably will upgrade eventually.

I've been struggling with image quality of the Q2. Some of these photos, where the main subject is front and center, seem to me actually to have too much "pop." I realize that sounds absurd, given that Leica (and Zeiss) is famous for the "pop." Pop allows a photograph to produce on a two-dimensional plane a three-dimensional projection. The human brain through its eye portal also produces three dimensionality, but it fully takes aware of what, in camera terms, is the bokeh (psychologically, rather than physiologically, because background to the eye technically if miraculously is in complete focus).

The larger Q2 sensor is so good, so highly resolved, that when I stare at a lot of these photos, I sense the main subject not just in a separate dimension from background, as is the case for what the mind/eye produces, but really in a completely separate psychological sphere. It just seems too digitized, too "unnatural" to me.

I know it's just me. We all have our different favorite lenses (and favorite film), and I will get used to this, as we all get used to whatever's new. But I do sense that as Leica adapts this larger sensor, we are going further down a particular path aesthetically. It's not just because of sheer perversion that many of our best photographers on this site still shoot film.

I understand what you mean about the the "pop." It really shows up when you compare these images to, say, the ones on the M9 image thread. The Q2 images seem to have a punchy, highly saturated, very contemporary quality. The M9 images are, in comparison, luminous and dreamy and the color seems more natural to me. Both are gorgeous in their own way but the aesthetic qualities are very different.

Abandoned  railroad bridge.  F8 1/200 ISO 100.  I tried to add a little grunge look to it.

Took this one by accident.  Wasn't even looking where I was pointing never mind the settings.  Nothing was really even in focus, so I played around with it and I kind of like it.  One in black and white and one in color.
