Leica M10 Monochrom

Pros: Resolution, infinite shades of gray, incredible ISO high yield, dynamic range, build quality

Cons: Not recommended for those accustomed to the usual digital post production

Opinion: Shooting with the M10M means returning, for those who were born and raised there, to an analog approach to BN photography. You look in BN, think about the zonal system and mount the color filters to correct the tone of the image (no color channels in post). The closer you get to the final result during the shooting phase, the greater the satisfactions that this sensor wonder can return. Not suitable for those who want to try the BN (for that the conversions from RGB files are fine). For those looking for the highest monochrome quality, regardless of the photographic genre, there are no alternatives.

Ricoh GR III

Pros: Image quality, lightness, responsiveness, snap focus

Cons: Battery life, non-swivel LCD, high ISO yield (over 3200)

Opinion: I usually use the Leica M system and I have joined the GRIII for those occasions where it is necessary to have a pocket machine in the true sense of the word. DNG files are great as well as the rendering of the optics. The images created can be easily combined with those made by more demanding "full frame" systems, even within the same photographic project. Lightness, responsiveness and compactness offer literally new possibilities to capture images compared to systems that, to be exploited to the fullest, require greater commitment and attention. Those accustomed to the latest generation sensors will find the GRIII usable with excellent quality up to 3200 ISO. Beyond this threshold you risk having to act on noise reduction by losing some detail and color depth. Not surprisingly, to the high sensitivities, we tend to prefer the BN, excellent, and with a rather organic and analog yield. The snap focus, once the focusing distance suitable for the shooting situation has been set, returns absolute immediacy and thanks to the aps-c sensor allows you to take advantage of a greater depth of field than a full frame with the same aperture set. Very useful aspect in the street to avoid going up too much with the ISO due to greater closure of the diaphragm. Given the absence of an integrated viewfinder, I would have preferred an adjustable screen, not only to favor the composition but also to limit reflections in situations of strong and contrasted light. In conclusion, it is in my opinion a machine not only recommended for reportage and travel photography, but above all to experiment with an immediate and spontaneous way of doing photography, with the ultimate benefit of stimulating and enriching the creative process.
