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

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

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

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.

The Panasonic Lumix G9II Deliver Extremely Accurate Colors w/ the Leica 15mm F/1.7 Summilux

One of the very first tests I do with a camera is to see how it renders color. I set the Panasonic Lumix G9II up for high quality .jpg to put it to the test.

This camera absolutely exceeded my expectations in it’s color accuracy. It also does a beautiful job on the clouds.

 

 

Just a few quick notes: I’m already loving this lens. As a rangefinder enthusiast, the aperture ring on this lens makes me feel right at home. It truly enhances the experience of shooting with Leica glass, thanks to the lens paint used for the apertures, focal length, and more. One thing to watch out for is accidentally bumping the AF/MF switch. Once you’re aware of it, it won’t be a problem.

I’ll be breaking down the review of this system and its lenses into sections. Later, there will be a comprehensive review featuring a collection of photographs that resonate with me, and hopefully with you too. I’m not just capturing sample photos; I aim to create portfolio-worthy work and challenge myself as a photographer. Each photo will be a clickable link to view the full-sized image on our Flickr page. Once all the photos are ready, they will be organized into an album so the community can easily explore image samples taken with these lenses under different lighting conditions and apertures.
