My professional work is on Hasselblad and Nikon and I love those cameras, but my personal work on the M10-R and the M7 is of a different magnitude of ‘love for photography’. These cameras are so engaging. Great review by the way!

Funny how that strong that Leica pull can be. I sold all of my Fujifilm kit to finance the M10-R + 50mm 'Lux!

Try shooting with your left eye open :-). Like everyone including myself who has shot D/SLR for a long time we automatically close the left eye. Love your enthusiasm, cheers.

A really lovely and very enthusiastic review of the M10-R, with some great textural and some very humorous images. Plus some excellent hints and suggestions about how to use to a Leica to best effect. Thks, (hv Sub’d)

I’m sticking with my M240, no need for the extra Mp. The M240 does exactly what I need and like. Haven’t used my D810 for a few years now, even though the M240 is 12mp less.

I have the Q the SL-2 and the CL. I also started with a film M4-P and a load of M glass.
I really want either a SL-2 or CL monochrom body so like you have already said a fixed
28mm is great for walk around but the CL is better. I am going to get the APS-C
Sigma L mount 18-50mm zoom, my first CL zoom which will be my daytime walk around lens
All my other CL lenses are F1.4 because of the lack of IBIS, need faster shutter speed and
to hold the ISO down for better IQ.
I have been reading about the rumor that the M11 may have an EVF. I like that idea because
if your rangefinder gets a whack the camera needs to go back to Leica or it won't focus
accurately. Besides EVF have become very good, the SL-2 5.7mp EVF is amazing.
You can see exactly what your final result is on screen so you can change your settings
before you snap the shutter, you can see your DOF, exact composition.
I would prefer a 40mp to the 24mp of the M10 discontinued models.

Thank you very much for your thoughts. Have you found that shooting handheld is at all challenging with 40mp on this camera? If so, have you had to change your shooting technique to compensate? Personally I have found that consistently getting sharp images with my 36mp D810 is more difficult than with my 24mp D3X (and lower mp cameras all the more so).

Great video! Makes me nearly wanna sell my gfx for the M10R.. what lens was on the camera? Was it the Apo Summicron? - Really love that shot of the bird, great framing and colors.

Thank you so much for such a good review. I got it rid of my Nikon D810 but went for Fuji GFX50R. Felt the experience was similar to the L but more more modern. (Rangerfinder-like shooting style but uses an EVF with autofocus instead). Not dissimilar form to the L, particularly if the small 50mm lens is used. Image quality is even better than the L in my subjective view as is the colour output straight out of the camera. Far cheaper system to build as well. Only disadvantage is the volume of some of the lenses.

I have the Q and I am amazed, I can only imagine what the M10 R might be like.

[joshywhvick]

Do I get the M10r or shall I get life insurance? Advice please…
