I really like the tonal balance that you get in your photos, @tuna. Do you do much processing, or are they pretty much straight out of camera?

John

Hi John - they look pretty good out of camera as long as I get the exposure right. I primarily expose for the highlights but the Q2M already does much better with retaining detail in the highlights than my previous Fuji and Sony cameras. 

However, I do some post on all my images in Photoshop - usually standard levels/curves, maybe some selective contrast control and some sharpening when reducing to web jpegs (though with the large amount of resolution I get from the Q2M I only do about 1/4 to 1/3 or none of the amount of sharpening I used to do with other digital files or film).

Also, I’ve always tried to achieve a rule I learned a long time ago: having a true black and a true white in each image (which usually results in a good tonal range if the exposure was good at capture).

I've had the Q2M for less than a week. I just reviewed the first light captures - some shots around my workshop and around the house. I am thrilled with this camera. Still on my honeymoon, but I think this is the closest any Leica camera has come to being the right tool at the right time in my photographic life (my Leica journey goes back to a used M3 and includes quite a few models from the film to digital days).
