If you want to shoot, simply turn on your camera, put it on manual focus.įocus at about 3 meter and put your aperture at f8.

When it comes to accessories, you might want to get a wrist strap and the Leica grip, it really helps with the handling of the camera. But even if the low light capabilities are not that great, you can always apply noise reduction afterwards in Lightroom. Over this the camera noise is really bad in my opinion. If you are thinking of shooting at night, the low light capabilities are great up to ISO 3200. There’s also the battery life that can do about 450 shots so it’s perfect for all day shooting and not worried about your camera running out of juice. So if you like contrasty black and white images, the dynamic range is a strong point for Leica X2 street photography. The only thing is, don’t judge your images too hard on the screen as the low resolution really do not do the images justice. Yes it does beautiful color images but in post production, the dynamic range offered by this camera produces some really contrasty images. While you can make some great street or environmental portraits with the lens wide open at f2.8, black and whites is the strength of Leica X2 street photography. For optical viewfinders you can get the Leica made ones, or any 35mm optical viewfinder made from other manufacturers for the M line. While the LCD screen is fine, you can also use the viewfinder (Optical viewfinder or electronic) in order to frame your images. Manual focus ease if one of the biggest reasons for Leica X2 street photography.

Push the up button and you have the back dial to find your focus and simply enjoy shooting, no focusing required. The X1 had been a pretty revolutionary idea when Leica released it alongside the M9 on 9/9/9 three years ago. While one of the biggest criticism against the Leica in the Leica X2 reviews is that it is on the slow side when it comes to autofocus, all of this is thrown out of the window when you shoot it manual. It’s sitting comfortably between wide angle and telephoto, and at f2.8 it is also pretty good for low light photography. At 35mm (technically 36mm) this is made for street shooting and travel photography! First of all it is light, and that’s great in order to have long shooting sessions and not have your hands hurt.
