palmskov Posted August 23, 2006 Share #1 Posted August 23, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) The digilux 2 just keeps surprising. Today I attended a photo seminar guided by a pro photographer and for the second time he's much surprised and astonished by the digilux 2 capabilities. Once again it kicked ass in sharpness compared to both nikon d70 and canon d10 both with quality lenses. And boy did the nikon and canon owners envied my manual camera functions and easy to handle menues... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marknorton Posted August 23, 2006 Share #2 Posted August 23, 2006 The D2 certainly punches above its weight and I suggest this: it's down to the fundamental quality of the lens and the tight integration of the lens, sensor and firmware. What's even better news is that the M8 with the coded lenses adopts the same approach. We are certainly in for the treat of our photographic lives.

jscott1196 Posted August 23, 2006 Share #3 Posted August 23, 2006 I have to agree. I was recently at the local county fair (my daughter raises sheep) and was photographing with my Digilux 2 when a photographer with a full Nikon D2X rig and several lenses looked at me and said "Nice camera." How right he was!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinvath Posted August 23, 2006 Share #4 Posted August 23, 2006 Hi Nikolaj Beautyfull b/w pics you got there from Italy. Did you capture them with the b/w mode or convert from raw, and how much postprocessing? I myself work with LC1 and like it a lot, except sometimes too much DOF, and therefore I still use my lovely little Hexar AF from time to time. Kind regards Martin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmskov Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share #5 Posted August 23, 2006 Hello Martin, thanks for your comments on the Italian photos. They were all shot as colour .jpgs and then converted in photoshop. The degree of postproduction was only BW conversion and a bit leveling / contrast adjustment...

stuny Posted August 24, 2006 Share #7 Posted August 24, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Nikolaj - Very nice portraits -- Each one captures different feelings which seem to be true to the subjects, are well exposed, have nice tonal range, and interesting framing. I assume that your subjects were other members of your class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
