Thinking about Jono's excellent article on the new X inspired me to pull out my X2 and do a little shooting with it yesterday. I then realized that there wasn't a general purpose "Fun with..." picture thread for the Leica X cameras, so I created one.

Now there's a place for all Leica X photos to be showcased. Please post some of yours!
Walking and shooting with the X2 again for the first time in a while, I'm again amazed at how good this "digital Barnack" can be. It lacks a bit on responsiveness, but the photo quality it makes is well worth it. I can only imagine that the new X with its better EVF option and faster lens will be similarly or even more delightful.
I like shooting with it much as I did yesterday: fitted with a 35mm optical viewfinder, mostly at f/5.6-f/8, image processing set to B&W contrasty + raw. I switch back and forth between AF and MF, focusing by zone. It's a light, small, easy to live with camera with simple, direct controls.
Looking at the photos I made yesterday, I can't really say that I feel I need to upgrade. Which is good ... It helps me save my money for even GASsier extravagances.
