The Leica D Lux-8 After 2000 Shots; MFT Camera

By Scott Morvay | Published: June 30, 2024

Excerpt: “A standout feature of the Leica D Lux 8 is its Micro Four Thirds sensor, which provides impressive dynamic range, potentially surpassing cameras with larger sensors. The camera’s handling is comfortable, even without a grip, and its performance is highly responsive, producing great image quality. While it may not compete with the superior sensors and optics of the Leica Q3 or M11, the D Lux 8 serves as an excellent secondary camera, especially for those who prefer carrying a body with a prime lens.”

Panasonic Lumix G Vario 100-300mm f/4-5.6 II Zoom Lens Samples

By Scott Morvay | Published: June 29, 2024

When I tell you this lens has exceeded my expectations, I really mean it. It doesn’t even take up much room in the camera bag.

The autofocus motor is super quiet and quick. There’s no lens flare issues, and even has fairly nice bokeh.

For the price point of $647.99 how could you beat it? It’s a must have for any MFT users camera bag. The exposure information under each photo will link you to the full sized photo on our Flickr page.

The Bokeh of the Panasonic Leica 15mm DG Summilux F/1.7 + Bonus Shots

By Scott Morvay | Published: June 29, 2024

I know, I know you want to see the Bokeh, here it is a minimum focus distance. It has the “Leica Look,” not just because there’s bokeh, but the way it transitions from the in focus to out of focus area, and how it’s rendered.

 

I find it quite intriguing how MFT sensors can yield such great depth of field. The key difference between the two photos is the distance to the focus point, they are both shot wide open.

 

 

 

When you stop down this lens gets razor sharp. This lens is really versatile; it’s 30mm equivalent and has a close minimum focus distance. The coating that is used on the lens is excellent, I have not experienced and color fringing or excessive lens flare even without a hood. The aperture dial is very smooth and has just the right amount of resistance. I really think this lens is a must have. The quality to price ratio is in your favor.
