No question in my mind, the metal (not plastic) CV 28 is the way to go. Wonderfully clear and bright, little distortion.

 

Unfortunately, it's also designed for a 3:2 format rather than the D2's 4:3 format, which I find a bit problematic, as I generally try to compose my images tightly in order to preserve as much of the camera's resolution as possible for the final print. I have one I bought to use with my now-departed Sigma DP-1 and do occasionally use it with my D2, but I would swap it in an instant for one designed for a 4:3 format.

well, yeah, the aspect ration isn't perfect, but I quickly got used to where the frame actually fell - left and right are accurate, and you learn quickly where the top and bottom fall - since there is room around the framelines you can still see the whole frame.

 

More accurate than my M8, actually.....

So,

 

after looking at quite a lot of Digilux 2 samples I must consider, that there are very impressive results. Nice colors, great sharpness. I found the quality even more beautiful compared to D3 samples. So I bought a D2 on Ebay for nice price.

 

I'll post my first impressions soon.

 

Someone interested in a leathercase for Digilux 2? It was included in the auction but I dont need it.

 

Cheers Bernard

Congrats with your Digilux 2, enjoy. It happens that this week I got mine also including the black leather case. I like the kit. This is a real camera compared to my D-Lux3.

 

Does anabody know what maximum capacity of SD cards can be used? At this moment I'm using 1 and 2 Gb cards.

 

Best

Congratulations! Exactly my feelings, too.

 

As for memory cards, I do think 2 GB is the limit. That´s what I use, and I get more than 180 raws onto one card. I don´t need more capacity, really.
