The details in this image are really good. Just look at the red flags against the clouds. Impressive with this small size at display.

I like No 1 and 3 most. These shots capture the spirit of this landscape perfectly!

A wild boar is in our midst. ;o) Bienvenue à chez nous. I have been to Normandy where Calvados is from and my ancestors originated there, a long, long time ago. We moved to England in 1066 and tried to civilize them. It didn't work. LMAO Keep posting your lovely photographs.

Nice pic. The camera and zoom do it well. The zoom is quite sought after. How do you like it??

 

[sanglier]

Very happy with the zoom lens, so I sold my prime lenses.

I really like the older zoom, the 35-75. Yes, its a little big and has smaller f/stops, but for landsacpe work in square format, it does really well in the corners at most f/stops and the 77mm filter size is similar to other XCD lenses. The Normandy photos are really nice, btw!

Love the quality of these images, sanglier. Must sell a couple of my classical guitars, and buy myself an X2D!

Get the X2D II. It is cheaper and better. I was fretful over the price of mine until I shot it. Then I understood completely. I have some Leicas but nothing gives the images the HB does. The HB with an HB lens is it. I have tried 35mm lenses, good ones, on the HB. Nahhh. HB all the way for quality.

I love the color in the HB, but I love the extreme weather proof nature of the Leica SL and S (since I do landscape work in some extreme weather including snow, ice and rain).

@boojum how do you deal with the extra dynamic range from the X2D II? I have edited my X2D files in the ipad Phocus 2 app and can make them look great, but how do you share those on instagram or have you printed any images? Does it really provide dynamic range on the highlights that can be used other than to look at on a computer screen / ipad screen?
