The Leica Digilux 1 is a digital camera developed in partnership with Panasonic, which was released in 2002, roughly the same time as the Canon PowerShot G2 and the Nikon 2000.
The Panasonic DMC-LC5 performs post-processing that increases contrast and saturation to create photos that are acceptable to the consumer market.
This lens has been fitted to numerous cameras using a 1/1.8" CCD sensor starting from 2000, including: Batteries are readily available.
This adapter is available as part of a wide angle conversion lens kit which, while sold mainly for the Panasonic DMC-LC5, also fits the Digilux 1.
The display mimics the exposure changes rather than brightening up as the scene moves into darker areas, so that it is possible to see what the manual adjustments are doing to the image.
The only problem is that for exposure time settings longer than 1⁄8 sec, the display won't match the actual exposed image.
One of the biggest advantages is that the camera will shoot single frame TIFF files - each about 12 MB in size, and taking about 5 seconds to write to a fast SD card.
