One Camera for Everything? Testing the Leica D-Lux8 in Tainan
Can one compact Leica really handle both video and stills? I took the D-Lux8 on a full-day shoot through Tainan — from temple shadows to market chaos — and captured everything with just this one camera. Inspired by Illkoncept and finished with a Dehancer grade, here’s what I discovered.
