MERRY CHRISTMAS ! ... (M9 - LEITZ Summicron 2/35 f 2 ; crop) :

(The Summicron is quite dear to me. - I bought in 1988 with the M6, and 1988 was my first Leica-Christmas ... --- )

After deciding to sell all of my M43 kit and just stick with the Ricoh GR III, I acted on impulse this weekend and bought a barely used mint X2 with VF-2, grip and loads of extras from a dealer. No way was I forking out mega-bucks for a grander model but I think it will sit well with the Ricoh and I like the idea of a simplistic digital. It's an old model of course but there are many still in daily use and this one is absolutely pristine condition (allegedly - looks like in the photos) should get it by the weekend. :)

hope to see some images from your X2 once you’ve got used to it :)

Thanks very much Paul

it’s taken with the M10R, and I’m starting to believe the hype about its sensor… on paper not much different to the regular M10 but it makes a nicer photograph
 
Well the Leica X2 arrived this morning and I can only say that I am well impressed, everything boxed and most in the original wrapping appearing unused!
Camera, VF-2 viewfinder, grip, spare battery, charger, case and strap, wrist-strap, lens adapter, lens hood, manual and all paperwork - it was described as 'Mint' and it all really is.
Checked for known possible issue with battery retaining clip or internal battery and everything is fine.
Well pleased and look forward to using it soon. :)

looks like you just bought it new from the Leica store!
 
What do you guys use for processing Leica DNG files?
I have been using Photolab5 and Affinity with my M43 kit but Photolab5 doesn't seem to support Leica DNG ... any way around that?

I use Lightroom... bit strange re Photolab as DNG is an open source format

That's what I thought but I guess it's because DXO use camera/lens profiles and if it doesn't support Leica camera profiles (which it seems it does not ... any Leica!) then it can't process the profiles rather than the file type. :thinking:

Hi, I use DXO (for my M9) and Photoshop Elements for resizing.

Is that Photolab?
My research seemed to indicate that Photolab didn't recognise Leica and V5 certainly doesn't.

Actually it opens the jpeg files but not the DNG so I guess it is based on working with the camera profile.

I use Lightroom for my M9s and my D-Lux Typ109 then export as either TIFF or JPG to finish in Photoshop. Although my LR is old (V6.14) and it won't support RAW on my Fujis later than the X-T2 and GFX 50S it will support DNGs from all the newer Leicas up to and including the M11 (I have downloaded DNGs on all the later models to check). AFAIK newer versions of LR/PS can still be updated for the new models of any camera it's just that Adobe are no longer supporting my version (too old).

Actually supports many Leica. But sadly not X2
Only the X Variant from the X series
