I just bought my first M body. Went for a used mint condition M10R. Love it and you save a chunk of change. This video has made me feel like it was the right decision. Thanks.

[williamgoss]

It’s almost a form of meditation listening Thorsten talking about his Leica cameras. His thick and beautifully melodious voice and the unhidden passion he has for his trade and the tools he uses to create some of the most gorgeous images I have ever seen… a real artist, thru & thru. Thanks.

[Funktrainer]

I still use the original silver chrome M8 and silver chrome M9-P, just recently added a SL (Typ 601) for versatility and adapting all kinds of amazing lenses. Maybe I will add a M11 in seven years from now..

[johnfarley]

Sublime mastery and wisdom from Thorsten. Aware as always of every aspect and subtlety. Links the past to the present with harmony and style.

[JamesWilkinson]

I am on the M11 waiting list at my local Leica dealer. Perhaps I stick with my M10-R and buy a new lens instead?! Food for thought. Thank you Thorsten.

[MaikKronerPhotography]

I've secured a new M10-R Black Paint. i like the finish, weight and bottom plate. it was probably the last chance at brass. All the Best for you and thanks.

[daggaboy]

I chose the M10R over the M10P — not for the increased MP but for the improved low light capability. M11 is further improved for low light while still having higher resolution. All are great!

[webersteve]

Well, you are so right. I'm stuck with my M9 which I still have since it came out. Each new generation deceived me, except the M10 which is to expensive. I went the CL route which complements my M9 in an amazing way.

[peetje]

That m10R you bought to keep and enjoy forever is the best camera to get in the M system.
Nice move Thorsten.
All the best.

[torstenbeckhaus]

I don’t see any reason to upgrade from M10R to M11, besides the fact to just höher something new… but when buying into M first time I’d probably buy the M11… but for me the greatest about Leica M is exactly that there is no significant difference between M9 and M10R, always just pure fun and joy to use.
Glas is more desirable to me, eG Noctilux 50mm….

[TheVFXbyArt]

I’m a silver guy, but that black paint R…. 😍

I do enjoy seeing the modernizing of the Leica M.

Great video Thorsten!

[timswinford]

I just bought the m10-R in black paint. My first Leica. Thank you Thorsten for the meaningful content and teachings. I love your work. Hopefully, I join you on a walk in the future. Until then, I’ll always wear my Leica.

[kuau]

I picked up a like new M10-R recently and glad I did, love the camera.

[willbaren]

Two things. I hope the lack of a base plate doesn’t signal the end of the M film cameras. And two, all those clicks makes the M11 as noisy as a DSLR. Thanks for the detailed comparison of the M11 to other digital Ms.

[bwest]

I'm excited about the M11....because hopefully that means I'll be able to buy a used M10 at a reasonable price lol.

[bobsykes]

Good one! Your photo examples near the end of the video, especially the B&W ones, are beautiful. I own the M10-R and it was good to hear you say in a flash how the Leica colors (since the M9) seem to reflect Kodachrome. My camera still strikes me has having a Kodachrome look, but with amazing dynamic range, and it's my favorite for capturing what I see when taking a photo. I hope when full Lightroom profiles are installed for the M11 it returns to the same color profile, in case I ever get one of those. Regarding megapixels, I leave the house with one camera and one lens, usually the 35mm f/1.4 Sumilux, and I often find in street photography that being able to crop way in gives me the image I realy wanted, so the 40 MP means a lot to me just for that. I guess in that respect, 60 MP would give me even a better image after crop, assuming I could hold the camera still enough!

[lvervoortify]

I totally skipped the entire M10 line as I had a great looking brassed MP240. Until the M10R Black Paint was released and I was very happy to lay my hands on one of this limited series. It is definitely the most beautiful Leica ever made, next to the black film MP. This will be my keeper for many years to come. Oh and the quality is even higher than the M240, people now even more often then before make comments on the color rendering

[calvinchann]

With the launch of the M11, I believe it is time to upgrade my M9 to a M10P and try out this CMOS sensor. I believe that 24MP is enough for an M.

[rexgigout]

Thoughtful presentation. Thanks! I watched this when newly-posted, but believe this to be my first comment, as I was still deciding whether, and what, to acquire, in February. Ultimately, as much as I wished to add an M10 Monochrom, or a Black-Painted M10-R, I decided that 2022 would be a year for lenses, adding pre-owned APO Summicron-M 75mm ASPH and Elmar-M 24mm lenses.

Without thinking too much I bought a new Leica M-A, a film camera. My thinking at the time was that buying the M-A was like buying a brand new M3, i.e. a used M3 without the hassles of old age. Now, I'm re-learning the real hassles of using film. Something you might address in one of your videos are the pros and cons of the different types of film. Which film is your favorite for portraits? Which is your favorite film for scenery? Where I live Kodak Portra 160 - my favorite film - is only available once in a while - and I can only buy one box of Portra 160 per visit to my camera store! That is one of the real hassles of shooting film. There are others.
