Film is darn easy: I shoot it, process it, scan it, then shred it. And then the rest is the same as digital capture.Just don't say film is harder than digital...

I would think that anyone who is engaged in work that requires specifically the original capture file for submission, validation, or whatever would know that and don't think I have to complicate my simple notion by trying to take into account every single possible circumstance both pro and con.Sure, my comment does not apply to you.
There may be other forum readers who want to submit their images to top competitions like World Press Photo or Wildlife Photographer of the Year. For those, they must keep the originals in the unlikely case that their images get selected. I think a Leica Q2 is well suited for as a tool for the mentioned competitions. ...
What's the second word? spots?Two words: dust.
Dust on the Q2’s sensor? I don’t want to hear that, and I don’t even have a Q2.What's the second word? spots?
I'm thinking more and more that this is a great pairing, but for me it will be the CL with my existing lens system + X1D with the 21mm lens...THX to Leica - this is an amazing camera!
X1D in combination with Leica Q2
I've gone back and forth on buying the X1D a dozen times. I really like that camera, but between the fact that it's going to be another $8000 and the fact that it's kinda large and heavy I remain reluctant. I have to experiment with other paths to what I want first.I'm thinking more and more that this is a great pairing, but for me it will be the CL with my existing lens system + X1D with the 21mm lens...
Apologies. "Dust" was a response to the notion of film. My Q has never shown dust, nor has any fixed lens camera I've owned with the exception of an iPhone 3.Dust on the Q2’s sensor? I don’t want to hear that, and I don’t even have a Q2.
Focal length (well, FoV) is a funny thing. I shot almost everything at 28mm for years. The 28 Cron on the M, the Q, and even a 35XL on an IQ140. I never liked the wider 24mm on M (30 on S) FoV, but then the S24 came out and I fell in love with that. I've had 16-35mm zooms on FF, but the 16 seemed too wide, and I never stopped to examine 18-19mm.I've gone back and forth on buying the X1D a dozen times.

This has little to do with the Q2, but the more I look at the Q2 the more appealing it gets. Hmm hmm hmmm..

I agree that FoV is a funny thing. I never liked FF "middle very wide" range very much ... 24, 28 usually leave me flat and I want 35 up to about 90 of the time. When I want ultra wide, the Hassy SWC has been my gold standard for years.Focal length (well, FoV) is a funny thing. ...
The problem with the X1D is that there is a big gap between the 21mm (excellent lens, but very wide FoV) and the 30mm (24mm on FF, which I don't care for). A 24mm lens on the X1D would be great. I *did* get the 24mm Canon TS-E, but that's not really hand-holdable, as its best aperture is f/11, and it's bigger and heavier than the comparable XCD lenses.
Including the aspect ratio of the format. I find it interesting how we can acclimatize our visual system to the camera system. I have found changing focal length and format quite complex, requiring time for me to adjust to it. But then I get used to that, even to the point of returning to previous formats and having to learn to see with them all over again. What has surprised me is how I am getting use to the 3:2 ratio I used to have such a hard time with (my X Pro2 and XF10 is the reason).Focal length (well, FoV) is a funny thing.
Im using simalar Q2 + H6D100c.............I like this comboTHX to Leica - this is an amazing camera!
