You think Leica has problems...
ScarlettRumors.wow has it that Scarlett Johansson's belly button, if turned 90 degrees to the left, causes her bottom to fall off.

Sorry. The matte black everywhere look is unappealing. It looks like an Amish tried to sneak in a fancy camera by painting it black and pulling off the chrome.

Cameras. I has it.
I propose an a-la-carte screw-head selector on the Leica webpage...
Brilliant idea! If Leica were to do that, they'd make money.
The six slot Torx looks nice.
One thing they need to be careful of, regardless of which screw head, is that the slots need to be aligned properly. For example, we can't have a slot tilted 10 degrees off vertical. It must be vertical. Like, when you look at a professionally made photo of a classic Ferrari with Cromodora wheels, they arrange the wheels to be in a balanced position, not random.
These are the little details that actually sell the camera!!!

Maybe the M10 Monochrom is all black to emphasize monochromicity.
Anyway, Amish haven't favoured digital cameras - nor even an M6 with a battery. Word on the street is they like the black M4 a lot.

Okay, machinists, how hard would it be to make a “spinner” screw that you'd push in to unscrew (“you” in this case being a technician who needs to adjust the vertical rangefinder alignment) and when popped out would turn freely so you could adjust it to juuuuuust perfectly vertical, or horizontal, or whatever you prefer...

What's with you kids? A 41MP Monochrom (something close to 60MP in a color sensor) and you're still going on about a screw.

It's not just any screw, it's a Leica screw lol
I wonder what its thread pitch is? It would be a scandal if it's BSA/Whitworth rather than metric.

"The Screw" makes the Monochrom effectively a 1.0 MP camera!

I love that I can upset people so easily by having Leicas. When someone says to me "Is that a Leica?", I always reply "Yes, where's yours, you didn't bring it?" just to annoy them!

With or without screw I would like to try one even if at the moment I cannot afford!

Raid you may wait a while for the "very" Limited Edition of this Monochrom :
it would be marketed as " M10 Screw Monochrom" only one available just for you.

This is serious stuff. I'm surprised I have to be the first to note how dangerous a dull, flat screw can be to a marriage. Some of you folks have mentioned your Leicas being a potential source of tension with your S.O.s, but this is a real disaster waiting to happen.
