You're liking that red filter😎 Curious to know how it improved your woodland shot of the family receding?

Hi Piran. It’s a low-level red filter, and I’ve noticed its effect can vary between subtle and marked depending on light variances. In the case of my wife and daughter walking in the woods, there was very little contrast to play with, but where contrast mattered - for example my daughter’s hands clasped behind her back, against a black dress - the filter really helped to catch that. 
 

It works most noticeably with puffy cloud scenes. A darker red filter would have more of an effect, but I find the B+W 49 090 5x to be the perfect strength for my uses.

Well, that's a major consideration when you have a fixed-lens camera. I get the clearest UV lens I can afford, currently the Hoya HD3 UV, and leave that on. I don't want a single scratch of that fixed lens. The red filter sits on top of the Hoya.

I sold my M246 Monochrome in part exchange for a used Q2M. The only downside for me is that the Q2M is Autofocus. I prefer to chose the focal point. However, a 28mm lens is not too focus-critical and the IQ is indeed outstanding. The camera is extremely light compared to the M246. It is easy to handle and the delay when starting has not yet caused me a problem.

I have a yellow filter attached to my lens, simply because living in rural Sussex means there is a lot of greenery and my photos are improved by a filter.

While certainly very different than the M focus system, I find the manual focusing of the Q to be quite satisfying. I think improvement could be made to provide better zone focusing guides.  For example, when I shot with a Fuji it provided a digital scale for the focal zone. It was quite useful and generally accurate.

Portrait of the band Apollo's Ghost, Brooklyn September 2021.

Shot under rotating spotlight, intentionally blew the highlights and went for maximum contrast. This is rock and roll, after all 😎

1/30th at 1.7, 1600 ISO (looks much better when you click image)
