Impressions of the M10

[mcfingon]

Really excellent shots Nowhereman. You and the M10 are doing very well in a dark environment at high ISO's. I wonder if I can trade an A7S on an M10?

Really wonderful images nowhere. There is now a really long waiting list for this camera here in the US. I have been told maybe more than a year. Tamarkin has 250 on the waiting list. Maybe a good thing for me because I have some time to save my pennies because I really want one of these.

For anyone interested in how the M10 color rendition compares to that of the M9 and how to emulate the M9 in processing the much higher dynamic range M10 files it's worthwhile to look at the M10 Facebook Group particulalery the posts of Charles Peterson, who has excellent color sense.

I haven't yet shot enough with the M10 to have definite views and have processed each file (mainly ISO 3200) "one-off": all I can say is that I like the camera, and that one can probably come close to the color rendition that one wants. But I must hasten to say I also like shooting Portra 400 and ISO 400 at 1600

I went back to the M10 and had a look at Charles' photos and by god, you're right, he really is getting that 'Chrome look from the M10.

I'm very much looking forward to your new work with the M10, Mitch. It looks like you may have just found a "lifer" of a camera for you.

Have you tried the Huelight M240 profiles? I like them a lot.

I haven't, but I'll check them out. Thanks.

great photos in difficult light situations, thanks Nowhereman for starting this thread.
I'm just back from a trip to Wetzlar and I couldn't comment earlier (forgotten the new PW!).
I just pick up my M10 a few days ago and really like it, very similar in use to my M7. Of course it depends a lot also on the shooting style each one has. But as my first digital M for the moment it s a joy to use.

Wow, Robert, an M10 as your first digital M! Congratulations, and looking forward to your work with it.

Nice, Robert! Post pictures!

BW are very pleasing. Color is not my cap of tea.

As for complains about lack of the interest, it is normal. The rush on novelty is over. Now thread named "M10" is same as "M9". 🙂

And great news from Robert!

I'd like to see it in even lower light, like EV-2 or less. Most of these seem around EV-5 to 6 given the wrap of light, easy territory for an M240.

Other than that, mine is on order, stacked with assignments lately so I must have missed this one first time around, thanks for posting either way.

The current issue of the LFI Magazine has an extensive article that compares the M10 to the M9, M240 and the S, and they conclude that Leica has found the "holy grail" of color rendering with the M10.

Until the next one.

Foveon via Sigma found the holy grail some time ago ... Leica have spotted a Unicorn but have yet to round it up. Big difference!

Albeit I'm a Leica lover, must to admit Sigma is way better in color and b&w, period. Film is another story...

You just have to have a look to Keith photos, they are almost filmic!

Here is an M10 shot with the DR Summicron at the closest focus distance about 19 in (47.8 cm). Taken at ISO 1600, handheld, at f/4.0 and 1/125 sec. In additional to the color version, I did a B&W one. I'm happy with B&W conversions from the M10, but so far have found that I prefer the look I get with Silver Efex 2, which is what I've used here. Focusing with the EVF in the near focusing range becomes much easier than through the "goggles" and, together with the higher ISOs that you can use, makes the DR Summicron more practical for moderate-distance macro shots.

Interesting. Then no clearance problems with using the DR at the close focus range? Great!

Now only if my damn M10 that I ordered Jan 19th would show up so I can use my 50 DR with it. Leica really sucks at distribution. Badly.

I would love to use my DR with a digital M.

It's going to take me about a year to be in a position to buy an M10, which is probably about right looking at the waiting lists and availability.

If I sell my M8 and M9, I may get the first $4000 towards an M10.
