A few weeks ago my wife and me during a road trip from Italy to North Germany made a stop in Wetzlar where I had the RF of my M7 adjusted. We got an excellent service and in a few hours it was done, kudos to Wetzlar Customer Service.

Meantime we made a visit to the Leica shop where I was curious to know if they had any refurbished digital M, maybe an M9 or 262 or...something just to try it. But we also ask to see and try the M10. You understand, the curiosity!

As soon as I had the M10 in my hands I felt it very familiar, like having my M7.

My wife asked me if I wanted it and my answer was ok, it's nice, maybe for my 70th birthday (in less then two years) it could be a nice present to celebrate.

But...
...she replied: if you are sure it's a good camera, the one you desire than buy it now. And use it! No need to wait two years.

End of the story: in the afternoon after some more thinking I placed the order
and now a few weeks later I am owner of an M10! Life is short, it's already late...

Now, and this is a little silly, I could have the M10 shipped to my address but we decided to drive to Wetzlar again to pick up personally! This makes the camera more...my camera!

Of course the first photo I took with the M10 had to be a photo of my wife :)

It's not a perfect photo, we both were feeling the emotion of a special moment!

Some people travel to Munich to pick up their BMW personally. Why not travel to Wetzlar to pick up the camera you really want.
You don't seem to be the guy who changes his mind rapidly so I wish you many happy years with the camera.

Hi Robert - congratulations on your new M10. And I disagree when you say that it's not a perfect photo. Based on what you have just shared, the photo is absolute perfection!
 
Your wife's comments reminded me of those I've so often heard from my own. Two lucky guys, I guess. Nice, isn't it?

As a colleague and good friend of mine says (almost daily), "Happy wife, happy life". You are indeed a lucky guy to have her. Enjoy the M10, and continue being the best husband you can to this great woman!

Cheers,
Rob
 
What a wonder wife and gift. It's a great story to me. Plus, you have a beautiful woman. She's easy on the eyes. It's nice to have a model with you wherever you go. It improves your photos. Maybe that's why she suggested you buy the M10: she wanted a camera to match her in quality. So, congratulations to you on the camera and wife.
