Mic Drop Moment: M10-D with thumb lever

[Phil_F_NM]

I bet DAG could install an advance lever on any digital M body

M10-DAG

Hey, I offered that service at the beginning of the thread! 😉

I'd like to see a Leicavit-DC offered 🙂

I have also heard that Leica is developing memory cards that hold only 36 photos.

I find a camera that matches the way I see and work very practical. Leica M digital is that way for me. So there's the practical side.

Here's the impractical side..
When your sensor goes Kaput-ski..and you are out of a 7K cam for 6 to 9 mos..

It's October 23rd. I thought they were supposed to announce the M10-D today.

You think it's going to be that cheap?
Cute.

Whoopsie, they meant 2019. Deepest apologies for the tiny typo.

I have had a lot less problems with my Leica's (in fact no issues but the MM and M-E on recall and that took some time but it was all taken care of) My M 262 and M 10 no issues with 10s of thousands of frames through both. In fact at this point in time I had more issues with my Canon's than I have had with my Leica's including the recall. Leica service is an issue but if you are a pro you should have back up no matter what you shoot with. I am picking up another M 10 before the end of the year I like the M 10 so much.

I didn't say other wise..!
But that said..Leica at this time is a luxury item..

Yes! Both my husband and I abandoned Leica because of reliability issues in the digital issue. But price? No, top line Nikon or Canon is the same price. Nearly. Leica is highest but really this is like "we are cruising at 15,000 metres or we are cruising at 18,000 metres..." It is bleeding nose territory.

Part of a photographer's training should be working with both eyes. Don't worry about dominant eyeing. See what happens when you spend a month of shooting with the "other" eye. It can be like the French woman's "cinq a sept" ;-)!!

Mme. Oh!

But that wind lever will poke you in the other eye 🙂

That's alright, John! I've had worse! At least if my eyes are open, I know who's doing the poking.

Mme. Oh-oh!

October 23 came and went, and not an announcement from Leica in sight.

Yeah, that ended with not a bang, but a whimper, didn't it.

Nothing to explain the "lever" function.
Don't know where this table comes from...Leica or not.

Have fun....

 

[Larry Cloetta]

Ahhhh, it’s just a thumb rest. This all makes sense now to somebody.

 

[Vince Lupo]

The advance lever doesn't do anything? Kinda goofy. Plus that exposure compensation wheel on the back sure takes up a lot of real estate.

I like my M-D 262 -- adheres more closely to the philosophy of 'das Wesentliche'.

My note to each of the ten Leica dealers who sent me email announcements and to Leica USA, Leica GmBH:

You can tell your contacts at Leica that the only time I'm ever going to be interested in an M10-D is when they offer a model without that stupid faux film wind lever on it. All those stupid things do is get in my way. I put up with them on film cameras as a necessity, I DON'T WANT ONE ON MY DIGITAL CAMERA. At all. EVER.

Thank you,

Beyond that it sounds like a nice enough camera, albeit that I think it breaks the notion of what a simple M should be.

I'm delighted that I have my M-D typ 262.

Using the FOTOS app for immediate download did PIXII just get pwned?
