Fun with the Leica Q

I have a Mac Book Pro which downloads SD cards very quickly. I was looking for some way to go straight to my iPad Pro for those occasions when I don't have my laptop with me.

Oh, I had to do some digging to find out what you were referring to!

I believe the one I ordered is the USB 3 version but I won't be certain until the package arrives.

How on earth did you even discover this? Never mind, but thanks again for letting me know!

THE ETHER DOME....
is a surgical operating amphitheater in the Bulfinch Building at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. It served as the hospital's operating room from its opening in 1821 until 1867. It was the site of the first public demonstration of the use of inhaled ether as a surgical anesthetic on 16 October 1846.
I brought my LQ with me hoping that while I was at the hospital this week for an annual that the room would not be in use so I could go in and take some photos. It is a very cool place with a lot of history and one that folks should visit if ever at MGH.
Leica Q, 28mm, f5.6, iso1600, 1/40sec handheld

Inspired by this fantastic quote from the Saul Leiter exhibition at the Photographers Gallery
'Photographs are often treated as important moments, but really they are little fragments and souvenirs of an unfinished world'

the Leica wins. Great lens too, though a lot of that is software - and by my calculation from looking at the files in RAW Digger, by the time the camera has made the lens corrections, you're not getting 24mp but 21.5mp interpolated upwards.
Tim, would you mind sharing a Q raw file, preferably something colorful like your first shot? I'll look at it in Capture One, which makes the interpolation process more explicit and can modify it. My hunch is that with the barrel distortion that you find in the Q (and the 24mm end of the SL's Vario-Elmarit, where I have tried this), you are bringing in information from outside the original 28 mm frame, then correcting everything to get the lines straight, then following the "Adobe procedure," which sets a goal of saving exactly 6000x4000 interpolated pixels. But in C1 there are other choices possible.

First time I've used the Q in a couple of weeks. Miserable day, weather wise. This was also the first time I used the macro setting on the lens. I love the 1.7ness of this lens.

In Québec City with my daughter. It was a brisk -10˚C. Here she is reclining on a bench made of ice. Tight crop.

The Q replaced my X2 as my everyday, take anywhere camera. I have been so impressed, it just may supplant my M. The 28 is very sharp, I can spot the distinctive signature out of the others.

I do love my Q . But I find the images somewhat too perfect , too clean .
So I decided to try some "rework" , using ON1 PHOTO SUITE , PSCS and also NIK COLOR EFEX .
I hope you like what I did .

I really have to stop taking pictures out my window, but often enough the light is striking. In particular, this evokes childhood for me in a way I'm still trying to explain. f/2, 1/25s, ISO 3200.

(I had a loaner SL for the weekend, but the lens was seriously out of alignment. :mad: )
