First weekend with my Q2

[LEZ90]

I spend a lot of time at the weekends riding my motorbikes, shooting people and cutting off their heads.... with my camera.

Last week I upgraded my main ‘carry’ camera from a Leica D-Lux7 to a Q2.
The weather was lovely this weekend in Brighton (UK) so I went for a bike ride and took some snaps.
The lack of a real zoom on the Q2 is making me move around to frame the shot which reminds me of how I use to shoot with my fist camera (Canon AE1-Program with 50mm lens) and thats a good thing - I'm falling back in love with manual photography.

I wish the Q2 had an additional programmable button as I could switch from colour to B&W in two presses on the DL7 using the 4K button, but apart from that I’m blown away with the quality of the shots - that lens is a triumph.
All of these are taken with manual focus and aperture.

@LEZ90 - lovely shots and nice ride. I don't have a Q2 but I think you should be able to see B&W in your EVF if you make JPEG B&W - I shoot raw and JPEG for every shot in every camera - but for my EVF's I prefer a B&W view and a B&W preview alternative.
