Riley Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted November 3, 2006 intersted for a few reasons i have the need to fill the long range gap, being equiped with an LC-1 and its 28-90mm zoom but im in no hurry to do this and i would like Leicas fortunes to change for the better on looking at the second stationroof frame, sadly i can see the noise and washout issue is present just like the fz50 Riley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-sr Posted November 4, 2006 Share #4 Posted November 4, 2006 Riley, Where on the second station roof are you referring to? I could see a little wash out on the roof where the sun is hitting the shingles. Is that the same amount of washout as the FZ50 or a little better. I know it's not perfect but it seems a little less than on the FZ50. Am I still dreaming? Don Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamilsukun Posted November 4, 2006 Share #5 Posted November 4, 2006 Rob, Is V Lux-1 really different than L1? Or, is it supposed to be? Thanks for the link. Very useful. Regards, Kamil Sukun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted November 4, 2006 Share #6 Posted November 4, 2006 Riley, Your images are a testament to what a fine camera the V-Lux is. I HAD the Panasonic Lumix FZ-50 BRIEFLY. Like for a weekend. And returned it. Not because of any failings of the images it produced. But due to the pesky EVF which I had come to abhor in my Digilux 2. And I was oh so hoping the EVF (which I was aware of) would have been improved from earlier models (like the Digilux 2) as Sony has done in their EVF loaded models which, for some reason, have more of a 'ground glass' quality which you see while peering into the finder. Ultimately, I ended up with an LX-1. And am now selling my house to procure an M8 plus three lenses! Good luck and enjoy your camera. P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted November 4, 2006 Share #7 Posted November 4, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) A small portion of the house profits will go toward the camera and the lenses. The majority will go toward the therapy for going through with this insane scheme. Regards, P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share #8 Posted November 4, 2006 really impossible to say less or not isnt it, but the loss of detail is in my view unnaceptable these 3 crops come from that image, where you would expect to find noise in the shaddow of the roof eave has completly been washed of detail (the planking). by the window you can see its better but still affected. the same loss occurs where the blue painted wall is in shaddow, detail is gone Welcome, dear visitor!

As far as I know I'm keeping mine because, even thought there is a lose of detail in those photos the V-LUX 1 does not show the smearing of those details that the FZ50 did. Check my post " V-LUX 1 Unoffical Test Results" over at dpr. Most of the time I like for a photo to show me what I am looking at when I take it and I don't think I could make out details in these photos if I were standing there looking at the house taking the photo. I could be wrong but I think I'll be very happy with the V-LUX. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ho_co Posted November 6, 2006 Share #11 Posted November 6, 2006 Is V Lux-1 really different than L1? Or, is it supposed to be? Kamil-- According to Leica as quoted in LFI, all the current Leica digicams use different firmware than their Panasonic siblings. --HC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommycrown Posted November 6, 2006 Share #12 Posted November 6, 2006 Firmware or white balance setting? hmm. I guess there will be more of us testing the results before purchasing this all around Leica! Can't wait till I see some constrasting results before making my mind~ Or I guess I will save toward M9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am mistaken. V Lux is actually FZ 50 but I thank you for your answer stating that even though rebranded, the Leica versions have different image definitions.
