Akicheng Gengichi's "mahogany camera" 35th time: the zoom is small and not discarded. Working for personal Affairs "LUMIX LX100II"-Digital camera Watch

There is also a month left this year, an anxious mangrove for no reason. It has entered the twelfth lunar month, and there is a feeling of haste around me. But I don't want to run. You'll be tired.

When it comes to this period, the author always reflects and says that this year can't be done either. The conclusion is that "we must work hard next year" to settle down. So I want to start early and don't reflect. Yes it is the time of twenty doors.

This year also introduced a film camera that is not needed at work, eliminating the daily impetuosity, not, but filling the heart with empty holes, but in the eyes of the people around, Akaji is still a wasteful king. But I think in addition to being a tool for work, the camera is also necessary to meet the inner purpose. I don't feel that way. I can't comment on the new camera. Anyway, even if you buy a new type of ultra-high-performance camera, the things you shoot won't change much.

Well, here, although it is very abrupt, the camera introduced this year is not the front, but the camera that is active on the back stage. The author's idea is that no matter what the digital camera is used in some kind of work, it should be paid anyway, even if it is a deficit. Even so, occasionally there are digital cameras that make people feel that they want to use them only for personal pleasure. This is Panasonic's LUMIX LX100II. Starting with the last model LX100, this is a camera that cares about it anyway and can't help it. I don't know when it evolved into a LX100II. It has been on stage for three years. In other words, in three years, I was confused about the introduction.

Panasonic's small camera "LUMIX LX100II" with 4 / 3 sensors

Equivalent to 24-75 mm F1.8-2.8 lens "L. Add monochrome D ", etc.

Recently, if it is a camera from three years ago, it gives people the impression that it is not out of date. However, because it does not sell very well and has a lot of inventory, there may be no new development of successors. That's going too far. I'm sorry, Mr. Panasonic.

By the way, in order to get the catalogue of the materials written by this manuscript, I went to a big store. I think the information on the website is richer and more detailed than the catalog, but don't you want to go? a real store.

There is no LX100II directory. So is the demonstration machine. I asked a shop assistant I knew if there was a catalogue. Compared to this, I suggested that Leica's D-LUX7. I heard that special models have appeared recently. I'm a little upset. I think it's best not to look for people who don't know what it is.

電源オフ時の姿なんですが、ずいぶんとスマートな印象です。ムリとは分かっていても、なぜこのままの姿を保ち続けることができないのかと毎度思うのです。別売の自動開閉レンズキャップ。利便性は間違いなく高いです。ただ、このキャップは防塵仕様ではないことと、フィルターの併用ができません。筆者は元からついていたリングを紛失しました。まるであのカメラのリングみたい。あ、今回はだらしない筆者の責任です。

The biggest reason for the introduction of LX100II is appearance and shape. This is it. Because it is equipped with microcomputer sensors, I think it is also good to integrate with the cameras of LUMIX G9PRO and OM digital solutions (long names) that I often use. Clearly said to be used in private behind the stage, but panic will also be used for entertainment, such a plot will be slightly hidden. That's amazing.

To be clear, the quality of the camera design is a more important choice for the author than the specification that can shoot 120 frames in a second. Moreover, because the author believes that small lightweight is absolute justice, the range of the selected camera will naturally narrow. Because it is a "personal" camera, in a sense, the choice is more stringent than the work camera. Because, something you don't need in the first place.

とある街の盛り場を昼間歩いていたら奇妙な居酒屋の看板を見つけました。撮影距離を少し遠くに置いて絞り込むと、長焦点設定時にもパンフォーカス撮影ができますね。35mm判換算だけではなくて実焦点距離を意識して撮影するのはマイクロフォーサーズセンサー搭載カメラの使いこなしのコツだと思います。LUMIX LX100 II（F8・1/3,200秒）ISO 400露出を少し切り詰め気味にして、撮影してみました。ディテールの再現性もいいですし、ハイライトの描写もとてもいいです。歪曲も良い感じで補正されていますね。建築写真なんかでも使えますね。LUMIX LX100 II（F5.6・1/1,250秒）ISO 400斜光線で照らされたウィンドウ。太陽のリフレクションを思い切り画面内に入れてみましたが、ゴーストは小さいですね。これくらいだとアクセントにちょうどいいかなあと思うくらいですね。LUMIX LX100 II（F7.1・1/2,000秒）ISO 400

However, if there is one thing that doesn't work with the design of the LX100II, you don't want to turn on the shape of the mirror tube that flies out when the power is turned on to standby. Don't you think the difference between the state and the state of acceptance is too big? If you look at it from a positive point of view, you will want to worry about your future life. Although I love someone so much when wearing a lens, as soon as the camera pops up, I will lose my sense of tension and give people the impression that I want to be in a daze. I hope you can learn Ricoh GR and so on. However, because this is a zoom lens, I have to give up. If there is a brother plane with a single focus lens, it will be very happy. It won't sell.

The whole shape is the feeling of the extension of the compact machine, but the sense of condensation of the function is corresponding. I don't think it's the best. Moreover, what I personally like is that there is a shutter speed dial on the body. Oh, isn't this the X series of Fuji Film? Is it Nikon Z fc recently? And there is an aperture ring on the tube. Exposure correction dialing also appears in the table. This alone can get a high score, is a maddening simple author.

The shutter dial and aperture ring rarely move. However, even with or without these, the feeling and feeling of using other small cameras is very different. It's important for people who attach importance to design.

電源を入れ、カメラを手前からみた状態ですね。この方向からの姿も嫌いなんですが、我慢は必要ですね。絞り環、アスペクト比の切り替えレバーが見えます。シャッターダイヤル周り。モードダイヤルと異なり、筆者を含むジジイ連中に安心感を与えるレイアウトであることは確かですね。露出補正ダイヤルも表に出してきたということは意味があると思います。

It is said that the aluminum outer packaging is inherited from the previous model LX100, but the new top cover is glossy black paint, very beautiful. Moreover, although cocoa is the decisive factor, but although the magnification is very small, but with EVF, which has a high score for yourself. Of course, there is no intention to pursue EVF performance at all, as long as you can see it in general. I don't say anything harsh. The magnification of the viewfinder is 0.7 times, so it's not bad.

ファインダーアイピース。0.7倍と視認性はまずまずかと。晴天屋外など、ファインダーがあるとないとでは大違いですよ。視度調整もあるし、ボディデザインに影響を与えることなく収めたことは評価します。

In the case of a lens-changing camera, it is difficult to completely force the performance of a particular lens, but for an all-in-one camera like this machine, if you unfold the completed image, the lens performance will feel uncomplainable. I imagine that there may also be blurred image correction in the camera, but it gives people the impression that the lens performance potential is very strong.

The lens is a 3.1x zoom of the Leica DC Barrio Zmilx 10.9-34 mm (35 mm translates to 24-75 mm) F1.7-2.8. Because it is an orthodox standard zoom view, it is not gorgeous. The author will not shoot birds, airplanes, streetcars and so on. There is no problem in this focus area. In the snapshot of the street, it is in a good mood to call the subject here who will match the atmosphere of the camera.

The lens structure is 8 groups of 11 pieces, using 8-sided 5 aspherical lenses, including 2 double-sided aspherical ED lenses. I'm very fastidious. This is a Leica-branded lens, which somehow has the same specification as the one with the Leica D-LUX7. It must have been accidental agreement.

Another advantage is that although the zoom, the wide end is F1.7, and the wide end is F2.8 with a large aperture open F value. This is a unique design for lenses in microcomputer format. Of course, because the actual focal length is very short, even the open aperture will have a lot of blurred impression, but it can change the photo. When switching macro, the shortest shooting distance at the wide-angle end is 3 cm in front of the lens and 30 cm at the telephoto end, which is also the characteristic of the actual short focal length. I'm really happy.

マクロモードに切り替えて紅葉に寄って撮影。どこにマクロ切り替えレバーがあったかなとふと考えてしまうわけです。少し経つと忘れてしまうわけです。見つけたからいいけど。LUMIX LX100 II（F5.6・1/1,600秒）ISO 400AF/MF/AFマクロ切り替えレバーは鏡胴側面にあって、使用頻度はそんなに多くないものだから、ここぞというときに探したりします。アスペクト比の切り替えレバーと配置を取り替えた方が良くないですか。なんか問題あるのかな。筆者の好きな正方形画面でマクロ撮影しました。4:3、3:2、16:9であればアスペクト比を変えても画角が維持される「マルチアスペクト」がLXシリーズの伝統ですが、それは本機にも継承されています。LUMIX LX100 II（F4・1/320秒）ISO 800

In recent years, there have been more and more cases of completing commissioned work alone, which is helpful to the compactness of microcomputers. If it is LX100II, because it is a microcomputer format, if you use a microcomputer in official shooting, even if you take out the shooting during movement or rest, the consistency will be very good, and it will also give rise to the intention that the auxiliary lens can be used as something. This is the old chart of the press.

Having said that, there is almost no page with the consciousness of photo stories on the photo pages of weekly magazines recently, so it is useless to shoot more between official filming. But slight private snapshots can be taken on the move. It can also be used as a camera with yourself. In this sense, it is still a personal camera.

道にあったオブジェです。昔からリー・フリードランダーを目指していますが、なかなか芽が出ない筆者です。ワイド端に設定しました。少し絞るとパンフォーカスになりますがレンズ性能が良いためか合焦点の見極めはつきます。LUMIX LX100 II（F8・1/3,200秒）ISO 400ローカル線の駅ですね。車内から、しかも逆光という条件です。窓のガラス越しに撮影しているわけですが、ヌケもコントラストも悪くないですね。鉄分が希薄なので他の説明ができずです。LUMIX LX100 II（F5.6・1/1,600秒）ISO 400建物に当たる光が網目状になっていたのが面白くてシャッターを押しました。見た目の印象に近く再現されていて感激ではないですか。紅葉はちょいと中途半端でした。LUMIX LX100 II（F5.6・1/1,250秒）ISO 200

Most of the shots taken in private are snapshots. According to different conditions, I want to switch to midfield shooting. Unfortunately, LX100II does not have a distance indicator on the tube. During MF shooting, a distance display bar is displayed on the EVF and the back LCD. In addition, because a part of the picture can be magnified to focus, even the placement of pin photography is not very inconvenient.

It's just that there is no value in the icon display of the nearest "flower" and infinitely distant "mountain" from the display bar. Decisive. Where is there a mirrorless plane with similar signs? it's a real headache. The Don is very persistent, and the camera with the feeling of midfield maneuverability wants to complain about Nicky every time, but recently there are fewer opportunities to shoot through the visual distance setting. The manufacturer will also say, "Don't force yourself to shoot with a high-performance AF."

LX100II also has the ability to start AF by simply peeking at the viewfinder, such as "Touch AF", "Touch Pad AF" or "Eye Sensor AF". Have face recognition and pupil recognition, have the feeling of complaining after making good use of this function. But even if there is an emergency at the scene, the function cannot be set. Because he is an old man with declining memory, he forgot to have such a function.

Speaking of, whether it is the recent Fuji film X installation replacement lens, or the new OMDS lens, the MF clutch mechanism has been omitted. Instead of using weird MF, please use high-performance AF. The era of suffering among the MF faction has come. The wide end of the LX100II actually has a focal length of 10.9 mm, so the depth of field is very deep. After a little squeeze, you will say, "what is a vague smell?" Because it will turn into a picture like this, it's vulgar to say something too noisy.

How is the picture quality? The number of valid pixels is 17 million. It's enough as a personal camera. Moreover, there is no low-pass filter, and the image processing engine is the Viness engine of 4CPU. So it can be taken beautifully. It is also equipped with hand jitter correction.

You were praised by people like Rico GR IIIx a few days ago, but now you are also being praised. What can I do for you? (laughter). The concept of GR series cameras is different from that of LX100II. The GR series camera is a body-shaped camera that uses Hadaka to tuck it into a pocket and find something that moves quickly on the body to take pictures. Carrying a lens is sometimes a single focus.

LX100II is the feeling that when the power is turned on, the lens suddenly lengthens until the shutter is pressed. I hardly see the zoom of the displayed image. The focal length is determined in advance to shoot. In addition, turn on the "lens position memory" and turn on the power to achieve a viewing angle equivalent to 35 mm. Most of them are shot with that, but change the focal length from there when you don't like it. Think about it a little bit before shooting than GR. However, it is not a good thing to spend a long time shooting, early shooting may not be handsome and it is not so, so be careful in this area.

If I have a lot of money, I'd like to turn a small camera for personal use into a Leica D-LUX7. Or, if you really have a surplus, change it to Leica Q2. Now there are also Q2 monochrome ones. Sony's RX100 series and RX1 series are also interesting. If you thoroughly pursue the interest of this part, the X100V of Fuji film will also enter the field of vision, but in this way, the direction of playing with the camera will be stronger than shooting, which is very dangerous for the author. Whether it's a single-focus lens or a zoom lens, your mind will change. Moreover, if you add a small camera, there are a lot of film small cameras in my house, so I really can't use them completely.

From the point of view of the author's body, it means that the LX100II of LUMIX is better. Well, it's totally unconvincing. Came to the same conclusion as usual.
