I've had one on order for several weeks, and they say it shipped. When it arrives, I'll try to take a hirez photo of the print to see if I can give an impression of the quality and finish.

The LF1 definitely does not render like the LX7. When I go out with the LX7 and come back with my take for the occasion, the images I see remind me of what I would get with a pro camera, albeit a...

Thanks - standing on the edge of the pier actually.

This one has more drama than the last one, but a bit more noise for some reason. f5.9, 1/800, ISO 125.

Probably is - when the Sun moves Southward in Autumn, it sets behind that structure, giving it a strange look. On rare occasions, the clouds will spread across to the right and it's possible to get...

The final day at the Jimmy Buffett store, MM/Noctilux, f1.4, 1/125 braced against window, ISO 800.

f5.9, 1/40 handheld (braced), ISO 80. Note how both edges tip up slightly at the horizon - seems like a slight perspective distortion....

The Nikon S02 mini-camera puts 13 mp on a 1/3.1 inch sensor, with expected results. This camera has some advantage over cellphone cameras since it has a good quality zoom lens (30 to 90 mm effective), but at wide angle will compete only with older cellphones like the Apple iPhones.

Taken at sunset, resized to reduce artifacts. f3.3, 1/250 handheld, ISO 125.

Taken just after sunset, the detail isn't the best due to high ISO. f5.9, 1/100 handheld, ISO 400.

The full size image is quite ragged or pixellated, partly because of the camera's limitations in capturing foliage in a large landscape, and partly because of the daytime heat waves generated...

This gallery has 2 images comparing the new Nikon S02 and Panasonic LF1 (the closest thing I had for comparison) in daylight auto-exposure settings. I hope to have low-light images later on. I set...

Thanks - some good tips there.

Here's what I saw in one of those windows on the elevated street - don't remember which camera.

The Noctilux has an extremely narrow DOF, and this should have been done at ISO 800 or better to get the aperture up for better DOF. As it was I focused on the big trees and the people needed to be...

Thanks - I like the challenge of the strong light peeking through the trees. Trees make for a near infinite variety of composition.

MM/Noctilux - Universalist church grounds and cemetery. f4.0, 1/90 handheld, ISO 320.

Thanks! I didn't fully capture the layout of items, which given the best vantage point would require a wider lens. These displays easily stretch to 40 feet wide, and contain enough variety to be...

Thanks - there's a link at the bottom of every image here for full size, although some of mine are cropped, this one is not but I resized it anyway (can't easily explain, but it's still big).
