It’s simple to use and the buttons on the back are kept to a minimum. Using the M10-R feels like using one of Leica’s old film cameras, but the digital version of it. What’s in the box? Camera, Battery Charger 100-240V with 2 mains cables (Euro, USA, varies in some export markets) and 1 car charging cable, lithium ion battery (Varta), carrying strap, body bayonet cover, cover for accessory shoeĪdditional details: Die Kamera -Das Wesentliche Brass top panel and base, black chrome plated finishĭimensions (W x D x H): approx.

Technical HighlightsĬMOS chip, active area approx. The cameras are identical (silver or black) - it was just my preference to get black chrome version.

Why the black chrome version? The black chrome version shows better performance in low light, high ISO situation due to less reflection off the camera body - I am totally joking. Last but not least, (a stupid reason) it’s “Made in Germany” and I don’t mind paying a premium for a product that is Made in Germany or Made in USA. The M10 series is very similar to the film bodies that I’ve previously owned, yet it’s very different from the M9 and the M240 (which I really disliked). I also have a couple of M and screw-mount lenses. Why Leica? I prefer how a Leica (film) camera feels in my hands and how it handles. Long story short - I seem to have a camera problem, but I also prefer rangefinders and don’t care so much about auto-focus or multiple AF points. Besides Leica rangefinders, I still have a Canon VI-T rangefinder and a few years ago I’ve had the Hasselblad Xpan and the Zeiss Ikon. I’ve also owned the M240 when it first came out and the M9 used however, I never warmed up to both cameras and sold them after a short time (both too bulky for me, disliked M240 colors).

(not bashing film, still have a freezer/fridge full of it)īut a rangefinder in 2020? I’ve been using rangefinders for several years now.

Plus the price for my favorite film stock (E100, TMAX400, P3200, Tri-x 400) has gone up quite a bit recently. Additionally, if you do the math, it quickly adds up (approximately 50 rolls a year, a roll of film costs $7 these days, developing $10 per roll, and scanning $15 per roll, plus postage).
#Leica m10 r pro
Could I use a pro lab to do all the work for me? Absolutely however, I prefer to do a lot of it myself so I can better control the process end-to-end and the results. Why a new digital camera? Well, with two young kids I literally have zero time for film at the moment - developing, scanning and spotting that is. (Inserting my usual disclaimer here - what follows is my opinion and your opinion may differ, which is absolutely fine) I purchased the black chrome version from the fine folks at Green Mountain Camera up in Vermont. A few days ago (weeks by the time I publish this review) I pulled the plug and made the decision to sell the majority of my film cameras (two M2s + my soul) and buy the newly released Leica M10-R.
