M10-P announced

[Huss]

Dear Stephen,

True. But some people (especially those who don't use Leicas) can never resist a baseless attack on Leica, and they have even more trouble in avoiding baseless attacks on Leica users.

Cheers,

R.

What a bummer, eh Roger?



Missing from this image - because there isnt enough room on my table - my M7, M-A, second M3, Md-A, if, M4-2 and of course all the lenses...

Huss, you've changed the picture, but that looks like a ZENIT(H) behind the R9, eh *not enough room on my table*? 😀

This is what Leica officially has stated:
" the M10-P gains a redesigned shutter that makes it the quietest of all film and digital M cameras."

20 gms of increased weight suggests that the shutter is exactly the same - born out by the fact that it is just as loud as a regular M10 if you take the lens off - and that 20gms is from extra insulation they put in the body.

Or you can just accept at face value everything they tell you, w/o any curiosity into the technical possibilities of what actually changed.

The Zenit TTL is awesome! See how it turns it back on the bourgeois capitalistic German cameras! I also have a 12SD, but while the 12 SD has a brighter screen and 'nicer' finish, the TTL has a smoother shutter release.

p.s in the camera bag on the left is an Olympus OM-EM10 mk11 w/ a couple of lenses.

Hm, I'd say the Zenit is some illegitimate cousin, of course s/he turns their back on the legitimate noble family members, especially the weirdly bulbous ones ^^

If you are talking about the Hunchbacks of Solms R8 and R9, I felt that way until I used them. They are the best handling, best thought out MF SLRs made. Fer realz .

Anyway back on rant - M10P does not have a new shutter. Just expensive cotton balls stuffed in there. 20gms worth of them...
