I'm very late to the table. Bought my first Leica at Olden Camera in NYC in the 1970's, and my new M10 in 2020. Two wonderful Q&A sessions, and I learned a lot. Saw one yesterday, and the other today. I too have questions. My home is in Miami, although I am now still in India. I plan to visit the store when I get back. thing nobody asked - for decades I've been using M cameras, and sometimes I wonder if my hands are in the best position to control it.

Thanks very much - I've got a lot more watching to do.

You guys are just awesome, great tips. Thanks a bunch for sharing so enthusiastically. Keep on trucking.

Are these available on a pod cast? this would be great listening while driving..

[mgscheue]

Very much enjoyed this! And my “new” (very lightly used) M10.
Hi, Enzo!

After you cut through the noise there is some valuable info here.

[salehtaqi]

Great information, I enjoyed watching, tell more about the history of Leica & Leica Q2

Video @22:10 "coincident rangefinder" - I like to call it instead a CCL focus device (Compare Contrast Light)😎

You started to discuss how to select the right diopter. And you said ask your optometrist for the lens correction needed at a distance of six feet. But you did not finish the thought when the dog walked in. It was fun to see the dog. But you didn’t finish. So my question is, after my optometrist tells me what lens correction I need at a distance of six feet - then what? I could do as Josh suggested and buy all the diopters and return the ones I don’t need, but that seems like a lot of unnecessary monkey motion if you would finish the thought. What do I do with the information from my optometrist in order to get the best diopter the first time? Please . . . .

For Macro photography on M10, how does ELPRO 52 and Macro-adapter-M compare? In terms of versatility, image quality, optical performance, etc.?

Is the Summilux-M 75mm (German) inherently more valuable (better) lens than the Canadian versions, or is it just more valuable because the market says it is (because it's the German version and not Canadian version)?

Talking about a sophisticated piece of technology (I’m a Leicaphile and love my M typ262 by the way) and it takes how long to get the live chat

Please does anybody knows if a digital Leica M camera offers digital focus magnification or focus peaking on the screen or on the electronic viewfinder like most mirrorless cameras?

[RAnder]

I use a little loctite on the threads of my diopter so I don't have it fall off. It's cheaper if you don't lose them.

Wearing glasses: since you both wear glasses, how do you see the entire frame for any lens wider than 50mm? I’ve almost abandoned using my M10 because now that I wear glasses, I can’t see the entire frame when using a 35mm lens. That’s why I love the Q2 - but I’d like to love the M10 again and wear glasses at the same time.

Hi my name is Orlando Morales and I recently purchased a new M10-P since no owner’s manual was included in the box I have some questions. 1st. Is the electronic level included with this model and if so, where can I find it? 2nd. I need to use from time to time a PC type flash connection for studio work, how can I get this type of connection with the M10-P? Thank you very much

[CrueLoaf]

[HuntingtonsBest]

Omega, Panerai, and Leicas. Y'all are some classy gents.

Coral Gables, Miami? What store? The Leica store?

[stuartmeador]

please include hyperfocal dinstance information to include 'in focus' for a 5x7 print viewed from 12 inch (normal viewing distance... ie a 10x14 at 24 inches, etc.

All this next question without answering it—what's the point in asking questions and then dismissing them? Are you doing this or not?
