I get asked all the time if the lens in the Leica Q2 is really sharp or not. Is it really 28mm or not. Are the files worth the high price of the camera?

 Yes. Yes. And I have no idea if the value proposition of a five year old camera that's still selling new for roughly $6000 is worth it to you. To me? Sure, otherwise why would I have purchased one brand new in a box, at full price, from a local Leica dealer nearly five years ago?

But here's a fun image of an older, historic building on Austin's much maligned East Sixth St. Taken with a Q2: 

The first image is the full frame, reduced from eight thousand something pixels on the long end to 6000 pixels. So it fits on Blogger. And then there is a second image, just below; a crop from the same photo at 100%. Look for yourself...


100% crop. 

Yeah. It's a brick wall test. But you have to cut me some slack I'm out of practice writing this blog. We had a lot of downtime this month....

I like my Q2. It's a really well done camera. And the images out of it work really well...
