I should really not be allowed out unsupervised by a responsible adult

I was thinking about buying a Fuji X-H1 or Fuji XT-3.
But ... there was a rare vacant parking space outside my local Leica agent, so ........
I bought a Leica Q.
35 mm sensor (what some people call full-frame), 24MP, fixed 28 mm f./1.7 lens.

Congrats!  Now that you have the camera, please post, not in a hurry, some images taken with it!

[Erik Lund]

Congratulations! I'm sure you will be very happy with this camera. Enjoy

[Frank Fremerey]

Congratulations!

a clear argument for dealers to provide comfortable parking choices in front of their shops ;-)





(I generally disregard car driving altogether, but I see that in certain situations no other option makes sense, like in certain US cities...)

Congrats!  Now that you have the camera, please post, not in a hurry, some images taken with it!

Will post images here, of course!

Spur-of-the-moment purchases often have been lying patiently and latent waiting to be effectuated. So don't resist the urge.

Congratulations. We look forward to results.

A quick snapshot shows that the Leica lens hood cuts the corners of the frame.

Not good!

[Seapy]

Hacksaw, Dremel? 

Or wrong lens hood?

[Viv]

It's the right lens hood. Supplied with the camera. Fitted correctly.

[Seapy]

Hacksaw then...

Is this from a raw file, processed with a converter that does not compensate for the rather significant distortion of the 28mm lens??

[Viv]

Yes. RAW file processed with Photo Ninja.

[Erik Lund]

As soon as you remove the barrel distortion they are gone, a little homework on the camera will tell you a lot about the camera. LEICA User form for instance;)

[MFloyd]

Have you added a filter ? The extra thickness may induce vignetting.

[Erik Lund]

This is by design!


Old news !


The camera firmware adjust the file for you,,,


Don’t shoot raw if you don’t know how to process the file
