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.

Pros: sharpness, noise, dynamic range

Cons: constraints resulting from the choice of a monochrome sensor and the rangefinder system; high price

Opinion: I have owned it for almost a year and I have already written a lot about this machine in the many discussions that appeared here on the forum in which many have defined it as a useless tool intended either for citrulli or eccentrics in love with a status symbol. I start with the objective criticalities. It is not a machine for everyone, beyond the high price, because of its limitations that as such should be well known to the potential buyer. The manufacturer wanted to put on the market a digital camera inspired by what was the classic M film and then you shoot only in B & W: if you happen to want to make a color shot you must have another camera. In addition, working only on the brightness channel to create contrast between the different colors of the scene shot may require the use of color filters: in post-production you can not use the color mixer that all the softwares have to customize the conversion to the B & W. You also need great care in the exposure: if the highlights are burned you can not remedy as you do, at least in part, with the RBG sensor when at least one of the channels still has detail. Finally, it is a rangefinder camera, without autofocus, and many do not like this at all. I now turn to the advantages that for some and first and foremost for me coincide with those that to others seem to be defects. The rangefinder, the dexterity, the setting of the machine, the quality of the optics are congenial to my way of photographing. Then there is the rendering of the file, unattainable for those who limit themselves to converting to B&W starting from an RGB sensor. In particular, the recovery of the most closed shadows is absolutely incredible. The noise at high ISO is much less than the RGB sensor. The sharpness is very high. The tonal scale is very extensive, although it may seem flat if you do not intervene properly during the processing of the file. You have to be good with PS, have time and patience, and above all know the most advanced techniques to intervene locally with selections and masks, as on many occasions, especially in the landscape, otherwise the photo would be rich in many shades of gray, but inexorably flat and moscia. In conclusion, a purchase that must be well thought out and that in my opinion is advisable only to those who shoot only or in great prevalence in B & W.

Pros: Dynamic range - smaller size than the M246 - Wifi to be able to use the smartphone as a remote control

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Those who buy the monochrom know exactly what they are looking for and shoot in black and white with the telemeter is the only lens that arises. I had the M10 and the M246, great cars but in the end I eliminated all the Nikon Z7 kit and also returned the M246 to take the M10 monochrome. What hit me right away? The simplicity of the menus (already seen with the M10 and with the Q2 that remains in my kit) and the dynamic range superior to the previous sister. Combined with the 35 mm summicron to which I gave a yellow filter is a perfect pairing from which to derive incredible satisfaction. Compared to the M246 the wifi allows you to use your smartphone as a remote control, very useful in long poses. From the DNG (powerful) files you can recover from the particular low lights that you do not imagine and even the JPEG is already very pleasant. The yellow filter contrasts to the right point and makes you miss that stop that constitutes a constant to shoot with monochromes. What to say I eliminated the superfluous and now with only one lens and the M10M there is only to have fun.... The Q2 is useful for other types of photos. Good light to all.
