Pros: It's got everything I need

Cons: It has nothing I don't need

Opinion: More than a year ago I reluctantly sold my two Leica Q2 (mono and color) to return to the M system, albeit with a thousand doubts. Faithful user since the days of film, with the transition to digital, after the M8 of which I have never appreciated the 1.3x sensor, I had (2009-2011) the M9. Exciting results, 18 mpxl that seemed like 30, colors from Velvia... except that every two or three you had to make a trip to Germany to treat your ailments. On my second return, I took everything to the shop and traded in for Canon, which I still use with satisfaction. But the Q2 was a convict, above all by virtue of the philosophy of use, simplicity, lightness, essentiality. Sometimes, however, the 28mm was too long or too short (even with the considerable cropping possibilities on the generous sensor) and so I took advantage of a nice used chrome M10 (a little) and made the big comeback. Mature product compared to the models that predestined it, removed functions that were useless to me (first of all the video) and aesthetic slimming of the body made it (and in my opinion still do) the most beautiful digital M to look at. Of course, the important thing is the photographs, but the eye also wants its part. There is everything I need when I am not in a hurry, when the moment is ... instinct prevails over planning and reasoning. The sensor does not have a record resolution, but it is more than enough (if I had to crop an M10 image too much I would probably trash it and that's it) it has an excellent dynamic range and holds up well to high ISO when needed. I have always preferred dials to buttons and wheels, although comfortable and fast. I photograph as I did in the 90s with my M6, and I can understand this is not of interest to everyone, but I do. I don't feel the need for grips, scales and fake charging levers, I like to look at it and use it as they made it come out of the factory. I like it so much that after six months I bought another one, black, also second-hand. Col 21/3.4 a., 28/2 a., 35/1.4 a., 50/1.4 a. and recently 90/2 a., it is all in an average bag that does not weigh too much on the shoulder. With this equipment every photo is a challenge (often lost) and when I like the result I feel more "mine" than with any other excellent, fast, automatic, efficient, perfect camera I use for the genres and occasions precluded by the M system.

Pros: It's a gem

Cons: Does not allow a low profile

Opinion: I've been thinking about this section of Juza's magnificent site for a while. It is the one that leaves me a little more perplexed. You have to look carefully between enthusiasm and desire to shine to find some information that can really serve. The term "review" has a deadly appeal and certainly works great for the purposes of the site; However, its adherence to the reality of what you read is questionable. And certainly what I write is no exception, light years from a review. Having said that, I would like to make some reflections on the M10 after 6 months of use, not only my first leica given to me by my wife for my 50th birthday (holy woman!), but the first Leica M that I have picked up in my life. My desire to have a leica is almost twenty years, made particularly vivid by Sante Castignani and his sagas. And so on and so forth. Now I try not to digress anymore. The first impression when the emotion of finding it in your hand fell a little was that the handle is not very comfortable. I have used so many cameras in my life but in his case without an additional grip on the fingers, since the weight is not really feather (I also use an x100 only with the thumb rest), it is not comfortable and in my opinion it is just intrinsic of the object that should be used with comfort because precision is a necessary condition. So I took the chamois with the grip, it raises it a minimum but makes it perfect in the hand. Small parenthesis on the relevant cost of accessories. But when you put on and take off the case back it is an epiphany on the precision and probably on the zero tolerances on which this project is based, never seen something like this before. Attaching the case back and turning the wheel that makes it adhere is an extraordinarily simple and precise maneuver to perform. I use it with three lenses, a biogon 35/2, a planar 50/2 and an apo summicron 75. Taking into account not only the manual focus but also the fact that with the rangefinder you focus in the center and then recompose the number of photographs in place is surprisingly high. And I'm not a manual focus genius. Let's say it's really simple, you lose sight of the composition by focusing on the rangefinder in many portrait situations, which is my main activity, in short, you have to have in mind what you want to do, but without squeezing your brain. I believe that these good results derive above all from a fact, that the instrument is very precise. On a whim I bought the electronic viewfinder visoflex 020 (the round one) and despite having read a thousand atrocities to me it seems very interesting and effective. Taking advantage of the focus peacking and the automatic magnification that the machine does (similar to the LV) you can also focus on decentralized subjects. Here too much better results than I expected. The sensor is also excellent, the photographs are clean and with little noise, I have the impression of having to be a little more attentive to the highlights than my other SLR-mirrorless but I am very satisfied. As for the resolution for the portrait is perfect, it also allows you to crop without losing much. Note that I have had the M lenses for a while and I had adapted and used them on A7rIV, the yield on leica is much higher, much more homogeneous, especially that of the 75 (already seems obvious). I conclude by talking about the real cons that must be considered. It is a prestigious object, very visible to the eyes that know how to recognize it, it makes me a little uncomfortable the idea of taking it with me in crowded situations. For now I ended up leaving her at home on more than one occasion to keep a lower and more relaxing profile. But you know this thing can also be seen in reverse. I will now conclude. It is an extraordinary gem and has made me really happy so far.

Pros: Leica through and through

Cons: Leica through and through

Opinion: I report my impressions as a user of M since the days of analog because a Leica M is a world apart and the M10 is no exception. Here we are faced with a high precision mechanical construction, the materials are the metals that only Leica, to remain faithful to its philosophy, still uses. There is the rangefinder as in the early twentieth century, there are light frames to refer to the framed field of the various optics, the main controls are analog, it is a mix of old and new in equal measure just to remember where the Germans of Wetzlar come from and the improvements compared to previous models are light on an aesthetic level, they have the Holy Grail and perhaps they are afraid of upsetting a Must that lasts over time. The Leica M10 has no frills and electronic frills or superfluous gadgets, it is in all respects "only" a camera, it is intuitive, the rangefinder as well, even if its use requires in my opinion a bit of practice, especially for those coming from SLR or ML, as the scene inside it does not change whether you shoot with a 28mm or a 90mm, Only the frames above refer to the frame and this, for those who are used to composing according to the mounted optics that returns a real vision of how the image will be, can destabilize. The rangefinder obliges you to have the shot in your head before shooting, it is the photographer who must adapt to the medium and compose the finished image first in his head. The use is pleasant, the level of finishes and solidity are reassuring, it is compact and easily transportable anywhere, the files are ductile and malleable (in my opinion in the M9 they were more, but we talk about CCD), the quality is there and its 24 Mpxl are enough and advance even for large prints. Accessing the battery and SD card involves removing the caseback and this is also a feature that comes from afar and reflects the Leica philosophy that the M10 still transmits...

Pros: feeling of solidity excellent focus with rangefinder clean and sharp rows and with a particular "footprint"

Cons: battery life

Opinion: I made the decision to buy this used m10 (350 shots) after considering the m240 m9 m10p m10r and m11. The choice on the m10 was made for the price and performance ratio . The focus with the rangefinder is very precise, certainly not lightning fast if the subject moves. excellent vision with the viewfinder but with optics under 35 mm and having glasses you make a bit of effort. files with high iso 3600 6400 are perfectly workable as long as they are not excessively underexposed. I still compare the old 5 dmk3 canon and there is no comparison in favor of the leica the recovery of shadows is great for my needs and the lights must be preserved as much as possible. The quality of the image as in any camera depends very much on the lenses that you put in front and for now I have only a 35mm f2 and a 50 2.8 that seems to me to behave very well. I hope to keep it at least as much as the 5 dmk3 which is now 10 years old but always does its service ; You want to take it with you and photograph

Pros: Handling, three-dimensionality, high ISO seal, viewfinder....beautiful

Cons: nobody

Opinion: Reviewing the Leica M10 is simple, it has everything a photoadamator dreams of having. An essential machine, has all the rings to set everything without accessing the menu, has only 3 keys, a bright viewfinder, essential for focus with the rangefinder, handy but robust, with a top construction quality. Held at high ISOs superior to previous models, crazy dynamic range, churns out fantastic DNG files that don't need post production. In combination with the superb optics, Leitz gives a three-dimensionality to each image regardless of light. Perhaps it is not suitable for all photographic genres, such as sports and photo hunting, both for the lack of autofocus and for the impossibility of mounting telephoto lenses pushed, but for all other genres it is truly unique. For me, it's the ultimate camera.
