The passion for photography already gripped California native David
Alan Harvey when he was only ten years old. At age twelve he bought
a Leica III f and later on he studied art and journalism. As a Magnum
photographer he has published many color photographic essays from
around the world in magazines such as National Geographic. His par-
ticular interest in the Spanish speaking world has led to two books :
“Cuba” and “Divided Soul”. He conducts frequent seminars in which
he describes how he observes and how he builds trusting relationships
with the people he photographs. He used the LEICA DIGILUX 2 to
record his impressions of San Miguel De Allende, Mexico.
Software for wide ranging possibilities
The LEICA DIGILUX 2 has very useful
software : For studio or lab photography, all functions can be controlled with a
PC or a Mac by means of a USB connection. In addition, there is a preview
window, a histogram and an interval setting, with which the number of images
is limited only by the capacity of the hard disk of the computer that is being used.
Underwater Housing
Those who wish to use their Digilux 2 while scuba diving
can do so to a depth of 80 m or 260 feet by using the submarine housing made
of solid lightweight metal. The large window allows the subject to be photo-
graphed to be evaluated without parallax on the camera’s display. All functions
can also be controlled under water. For further information please contact

LEICA SF 24D Flash Unit for the LEICA DIGILUX 2
With the dedicated SF 24D Flash Unit, the camera
fully automatically controls the amount of light emitted by the flash unit, just as it does with the built-in
flash. Precisely exposed flash pictures with balanced illumination can be taken by means of the guide
number control. The ‘SLOW’ mode, which can also be synchronized to the second shutter, expands the
creative possibilities. Even with fill -in flash, the natural light mood is preserved by means of longer
shutter speed. Furthermore, the external flash shoe provides a connection to SCA flash units.
A memory card is included
The LEICA DIGILUX 2 is supplied with a 64 MB SD-Memory Card. Depending on the image quality
that is selected, this memory card can store up to 484 pictures
Case
Of course the leather case for the LEICA DIGILUX 2 camera too, is crafted
with meticulous workmanship. The fine leather is tanned and dyed with pure
vegetable solutions. The vegetable treatment of the leather gives the camera
case its exquisite high-grade appearance. The roomy interior will also readily
accommodate the Digilux 2 camera with an attached lens hood. Several
built-in compartments conveniently hold accessories like a spare battery
and a memory card.
