Enjoying two of the reasons for a Q2M at once: going out in the rain and macro

twigs drying out in my home-made 'cooker' (old plastic dustbin with big holes cut out) - normally basking at the top there's a family of snake-like slow worms (type of lizard) but the weather is not brilliant - maybe next time - ISO 200 1/160s f8

I was initially reticent about buying the Q2M because of the fixed 28mm lens. I normally use longer Leica lenses, mostly 50mm, and 75mm, and occasionally the 90mm lenses and the wonderful 135APO f3.4. I took the 2QM out yesterday, and fell completely in love with this amazing little Leica camera. The black and white view through the viewfinder is captivating, and makes visualizing the results so easy. I soon found myself rekindling memories of the zone system, a spot meter and view camera. But now all of this was in the palm of my hand. The wide 28mm view suddenly because desirable, a different way of seeing for me. There was no more having to decide which focal length to choose. I also discovered having the macro capability added an entirely new dimension to my outing. This combination of simplicity and capacity made this one of the most enjoyable camera excursions in memory. The one disappointment was the rain stopped before I could get out with the camera!

I want to thank Brent for the wonderful monochrom images he has stared with me in the past, and of course all the others who are posting and sharing their work from the Leica monochrome cameras.

Hi There Bill

That's completely my feelings. I've been lucky enough to use all the Monochrom cameras, but I also shoot colour, and using a monochrome M camera always got me confused as to which lens was on which and which camera I was using! Having an M10-R and the Q2-M is a great combination - different muscle memory and technique and no muddling. Added to which, as you say, the macro facility is really useful and helpful, and the black and white viewfinder really seals the deal!
