I'm still posting photographs I took on Saturday at Tremanskärr. Here you see the flooding in forests, where rain and melting snow have gathered in puddles waiting for the ground to thaw to allow the water to seep away.

I like "water 1", beautiful shot. I wonder what it would look like using the new LF1:

Art, the photographs would look different using the LF1 as this was taken at the wide end of the LX5 lens (24 mm equiv.) and I think LF1 starts at 28 mm.
An interesting new camera, but the lens isn’t quite what I would like to have.
On the other hand, the click wheel is stuck on my LX5, and this prevents changing exposure compensation. I have two different custom settings, the other at -2/3 EV and the other at +1/3 EV, which do help, but here the dark ground/puddle and the bright snow posed problems.
Yes, 24 mm is better than 28 mm.
The plus is the 7.1 optical zoom and you still have a fast F2 lens.
Juha, if I were you I would take the LX5 apart. Sometimes it is nothing more than dirt on the click wheel. I'm sure someone who fixes cameras or even clocks in Finland can take a look.

Art, I think dirt is indeed the reason for the stuck click wheel. I downloaded the Panasonic manual which shows how to take apart the camera. Unfortunately gaining access to the click wheel requires taking apart most of the camera, and I don't have such a good track record of such repairs. Being without the LX5 is a risk I'm unwilling to take, even though that means that I have a partly broken camera in use.
