If the price will be relatively reasonable, if it will not be way too big, and if it will have the A ring like the 15mm/1.7, then I would like to buy this lens

it is one of my favorite, am very happy with it.

"no, the same lens does NOT then mean the same seals, or more importantly the same filter on the pressure equalization port-vent" (by HowaboutRAW).
Did you read that, Richard Butler ?

The latest reliable info I read was Richard Butler's "No word on dust-proofing. Again, the use of the same lens would strongly suggest it hasn't become any more dust-proof".

Thanks for the info; however, where did you read that on Sept. 19 ?

The camera is still no dust-proof: would using a plastic rain-cover minimize sensor dust?

Many comments are addressing dust in the sensor caused by the lens zooming, "sucking" dust inside the camera: wonder if a simple accessory like a plastic rain cover could minimize this potential...

True that the LX100 lens F. L. has to be factored 2.2X to get the FF equivalent F.L. , while the m4/3 must only be factored 2X. However that's not a big difference; there must be other reasons why ...

After reading the posts answering the above, it comes to my mind that the LX100 II is (as Richard Butler wrote last August 22) "a 17 megapixel enthusiast zoom compact with a 24-75mm equivalent ...

So the Nikon & Canon suckers will start selling their DSLR 's and pay a lot of money to Nikon and Canon again to get mirrorless.....

Since the advent of the mirrorless system it was clear that the DSLR is a dynosour type system.
All that was needed to finally kill it was the technology to produce a good EVF (Leica did that...

Maybe the dust is "pumped-in" by extending and retracting the lens forth-and-back when zooming.
Wonder if could be possible preventing dust getting in, kind of sealing the lens against dust...

Why don't the DPReview writers mention the sensor dust?
However, at least they point out the poor quality of the EVF, and that the touch screen is not tilt able.
These three issues make the $...

or.... wait.... maybe I should really get a G9 (it's kind of a better GX8 only without the tilted viewfinder)

Nah…
will wait for a GX10 with viewfinder tilted like GX8 and as good as on the G9, with headphone and microphone ports, weather sealing and better battery life

Thank you all. So Affinity will be

Hi all. Could you please suggest a software (for Mac) alternative to photoshop ? thanks

Could you please suggest a software  alternative to Photoshop ?

The conclusion (if understand right) is that is better to open the lens aperture as much as advisable, and set the slowest shutter speed compatible with the subject.
I could do that, for instance...

I had the Panasonic "Leica" 25mm/1.4 and have the Panasonic "Leica" 15mm/1.7  - I  consider those two lenses very, very good. However, they are not truly Leica lenses (imo) because they are not ...
