There ought to be a Leica M10 Law that Says..

[Bike Tourist]

Don't talk to me about an M10. I struggled to get the M (262) and I'm happy.

 

[raid]

One day I wil be rich! Then I will buy two M10 cameras!
Until then, I focus on lenses.

There should be a Leica Law that says:

"Leica will not sell any camera which has a sensor which will need to be replaced within a length of time which a cheaper camera would be expected to last, including cameras that cost £50."

There ought to be a Leica Law that Says...

"...on a black camera replace the red dot with a black dot, and if you can't find a black dot then find a piece of black tape."

I think the red dot looks great on the chrome, but I find it just plain annoying on black cameras. Of course, they can take the same photos and I love the cameras in general though. ;-)

You can order a black dot from DAG.

No red dot shall ever be placed on a Leica again.

I've been hanging round here for at least a decade and still no-one has explained to me whether I have to get a red dot before I can put black tape on my MDa 😛

Since Leica is now for the 1% this ‘law’ wouldn’t apply to very many folks.

A friend now shooting a major story in M.E. and I have often discussed a "digital: Leica.
The final judgement is a NO!
Too soon obsolete, lack of reasonable service and adjustments in timely manner.
We both love our film Leica, which is a money maker in his case.
I am retired so no needless expenses and all too soon obsolete.

The reason why I will never get a digital Leica - it's obsolete the sooner it gets out of the factory. Like a car - the reason why I never buy I new one... I have bought a new car before, but NEVER again.

Perhaps not a law but a rule: Never sell anything Leica. You'll only buy it back again at a higher price 🙂

You have to use red tape.

Don't produce watches... ligthers and key rings.. Leica should stick with cameras and optics.

# 1 shutter will not release if lens cap is on.

#2 can not wind past 36

#3 Camera sounds alarm if pointed toward sun

#4 People with little money should never buy a "cheap" used one. They always need expensive repairs.

The Leica watches make no sense to me; they are going to cost as much or more than a premium Swiss chronometer made by Breitling, Panerai or Rolex.

A joint venture by Rolex and Leica resulting in a GMT Master II with a red bezel, red face (possibly offering white as a second option) and the jubilee bracelet with the Leica logo laser etched into the watch back would have been a Leica connoisseur's dream watch.

+1. Wish I had my 2.8 Elmar back.

Rolex forbids any change from the standard provided!
Tiffany Jewelers used to print their name on dial.
Tiffany insisted, Rolex stopped all sales...
Maybe Tiffany have them again,BUT no name on dial.
Even changing color of sweep second hand would result in service and repairs, as "watch not authentic". There!😀

I use my Leica cameras and lenses to make photographs, not to listen to or follow some arbitrary pundits' notion of rules, humor, or irony, or to show off that I can afford them. They're simply the best cameras and lenses I've owned, both digital and film, and make the photos I want. Better than any of the other cameras I've owned.

I'm happy with my current Leica bodies: No need for an M10.
