Pros: 100% Leica
Cons: For my needs none
Opinion: After about 40 years of amateur photography, I feel like having my say about the Leica M10 R. I came to Leica M after several changes, my first camera was a Yashica Electro 35 GT, after a few years I moved to the Olympus OM1 with 35 50 and 135 and later to the Leica M4, M6, Canon G9, G10 and Leica M8 with various Leica lenses, the last of which were Elmarit M 24 2.8 Asph, Summicron M 35 2 Asph, Summicron 50 2 and Elmarit 90 2.8. I have never liked the M8 for its well-known characteristics that for me are defects that is, only 10.3 mpx, digital noise already from 400 iso, Aps H sensor and a shot with embarrassing noise. Having to make a trip where the Leica would have been tight for me, I bought a Fuji XE1 changed shortly after with the XE2s and later with the XE3, which I still have, with several Fuji lenses of which I kept three, the 14 2.8 Asph, the classic 18-55 2.8-4 and the 55-200 3.5-4.8. Thanks to the past pandemic that forced us at home for long days and reading reviews to pass the time I convinced myself to sell the M8 and the Elmarit 24 that I did not use to buy, obviously not at par, the Q2. The Q2 with its 28 was exceptional, quite compact, being able to go out with a single camera without the lenses was a great convenience and the files were perfect. Accustomed to using real 35, 50 and 90 I realized that I didn't like cropping in the machine so I decided to make yet another change and leap in quality, I sold the Q2, the Summicron 35 asph and the Summicron 50 for, always not on par, the M10R with Super Elmar 21 3.4 Asph, Apo Summicron 50 2 asph later integrated with a Voigtlander Ultron 28 II and a Nokton 35 1.5, I still have the legendary ninety Elmarit. What can I say about the M10R that has not already been said by those who preceded me, a valuable object built with maniacal materials and care, not very light but small in size and minimalist as I like it, there is everything you need and nothing more, fixed lenses with manual focus which, in addition to being notoriously valuable, they are also small in size precisely because they do not have autofocus. The M10R differs from the M10 mainly for two features, it has an imperceptible shutter, beaten only, personal opinion, from that of the M6 and the 41 mpx sensor which are many but, in my opinion, it has more advantages than disadvantages, if it is true that files over 40 mpx are heavy, it is equally true that for those who love the crop they give greater cropping margins and you can make larger prints, It is also true that in JPEG there is the possibility to choose between three resolutions, 40, 20 and 6 Mpx. In short, what can I say, camera and optics are perfect for the use I usually make of them, and it is not insignificant, weight and dimensions are reduced. It could be my definitive trousseau, even if with my past there is always a: never say never. |
