Fun with Leica X1/X2

Thank you ceh and Moonshine for liking. I also am loving this little jewel. Colors and sharpness are just right, not clinically sharp which is the way I like it.

These are my 1st snaps testing the Leica X2. I put a grip on it, an Olympus EVF and a street strap.







I just like the way leica manages to handle color. The images just look "right" for my taste.
The x1/x2 is fun to use IMO, great IQ and great user interface. I have felt a bit limited with 35mm only lately, but it is a classical focal length and if you like35mm I think the x2 is a great choice. I would probably even prefer the x2 over the rx1 because the x2 is more compact and sill delivers excellent iq.

After having seen the latest samples from the RX1 on Dpreview and compared to some other cameras, I only can say I would prefer the X2 - at least with the currently tested FW of the RX1. Although this should improve I would think with future FW versions.

Hi thanks I noticed you're from the Philippines. Yes it was sunset and the golden colors on the Kalesa looks real nice.

these are really nice, how do you find the high-iso performance of the x2, what is the highest acceptable iso you have used?

thanks for sharing!

Thanks Gary, it's in Fort Santiago, Manila. Corregidor is also a nice picturesque place. I'll go there again one time and shoot with the X2.

Yes sir - I lived in Manila with my family for the last few years. Just came back to Canada in January this year. Lot's of great memories...

Great to know you've lived and experienced my country. As you know Christmas season here is quite exciting so lots of photo ops on the street.
