Thoughts on the Leica Q2

I have been using the Leica Q2 now for 6 months. It has taken that long to come to terms with the camera.

I now know how to work with its DNG files in Lightroom to create the look I want in my black and white images. It wasn’t hard it just took time.

Its a camera that begs you to go out and take images. . Its a pleasure to shoot with. Easy ,Fast and quit.

In my case it suites my style of photography completely while nicely complementing my film work. I can walk down the street, pre visualize the shot, raise the camera. and press the shutter in one fluid motion.

Thoughts on printing

The print in my case reconciles my analog digital split personality. As an film photographer its a natural conclusion to the analog process. Nothing beats holding the physical finished product of you work in your hands. As a digital Photographer it gives you the same feeling of a job completed, an end result that can be enjoyed for years to come. More importantly it preserves the image. We have all heard stories of failed hard drives or files that are lost in the digital realm. The print in both film and digital photography is the final product, the end game.
