Not at all. I love my 100 APO and my 35-70/4. The other lenses I
rarely use, but rarely used them before the Q2. The 35-70 far
outperforms any Nikon glass I have and if I am not hiking, the 100 APO
is my macro of choice. I would love to see what they can do on a 47MP
Nikon. Now on a short hike I take my Nikon with the 35-70 and the Q2.
Good combination. The 28/1.7 on the Q2 is bloody sharp at 1:1 on the
47MP sensor edge to edge wide open, as a Leica lens is suppose to be.
Just amazing. I know even in a RAW shot there is some computational
corrections applied much to the chagrin of many Leica users. While I
would have rather seen the corrections made optically, that would have
added to the size and price of the lens and I got the Q2 partially to
cut down on size. I would not like a near perfect lens like the 35/2 L
mount lens because it is so big. It weighs more than the whole Q2. I
would love to shoot with it, though.

Aram,--
That “drastic crop” leads me to ask:
Are your fond memories of Leica R days fading as you use your Q2?
Best regards,

Done with the first part of our trip, holding up in SoCal for a few weeks
before we go to Yosemite. The first few days were going around the Olympic
Peninsula in Washington and we saw 4 nice waterfalls. They were pretty full
thanks to about a week of rain before we got there after a very dry summer.
All taken with the Q2
One of my favorite falls is Sol Duc, a short hike from the hot springs. Here
is the view from above the falls looking towards the bridge.

And looking from the bridge back at the falls.

Another favorite is Marymere falls

A falls I had never seen before, Madison Falls

And another new falls for me, Murhut Falls

And just showing off the Q2 again, here is a drastic crop of the photo above
showing just he small section in the middle of the frame.
