      M10R Still Worth It?

      By dpitt · Posted

      Sorry, but your comparison does not  make sense to me. Yes, my curiosity is tiggered by the Zf, and yes you 'can' use most M lenses on it, just as you can use M lenses on almost any digital mirrorless camera's today. I shot Nikon for 30 years (analog and digital) before I used my first rangefinder. If I buy a Leica M, my first motivation is that it is a rangefinder, and using an M lens on a rangefinder is a completely different experience. I like manual focus and in the digital world the Leica M is the only camera left that is designed to do that, and the way you see the world through the rangefinder sets it apart too. So, in that respect even a cropped Leica M8 would be a more sensible option than a Nikon Zf for me.  I thought that you liked using your M4 and wanted to have a digital alternative. So I do not see how a Nikon Zf or any non-rangefinder fits in. If it is a budget thing, then I am sure that a M240 or M9 will be much closer to your M4. And both will outlast the Nikon Zf or keep their value better. Maybe a nice used M10 will strike a balance between budget and experience?

      Looking for a bit of advice on buying a used M10

      By Hakiroto · Posted

      Thank you very much for your reply, and apologies for the delayed response. No, I don't have any real experience with rangefinders other than playing around very briefly with a friend's M6 and the M11 in the Leica store. While I'll only really know by owning one, I feel like I have a good understanding of the limitations of a rangefinder compared to a modern mirrorless, and I'm also very much aware of how stripping everything back to basics can be a very rewarding experience for some. That's what I'm looking for — a tool that'll let me strip away all the extras and focus on being there in the moment, taking the photo. I've bounced around a few mirrorless cameras over the last 10 years — Canon, Fujifilm, and Sony — and I seem to enjoy myself the most when things are the most basic. I realised this when I got the famous Sony autofocus in an a7 IV. Despite having that, I had absolutely no desire to pick that camera up and go and take some photos on the street. Whether a rangefinder is right for me, I'm yet to find out, but I'm fortunate enough to be borrowing a used M10 and 50mm Summicron from a local Leica store this weekend, so I'll have a couple of days to really see if it works for me. I'm really excited about it. Thanks! Yeah, I'd really like to get the M10-P. Here in Germany, you can get a good used M10 for around 4000 €, but a good used M10-P can be ~5500 €. For me, with it being my first M, I feel like it might still be best to go with the M10 and put that ~1500 € towards a nice Leica lens. I can already see myself trading in the body for a newer one a year or two down the line if I love the experience, but I feel like it might be smarter to lower the cost of entry as much as reasonably possible for now. That sounds like a great setup. Yeah, I've heard quite a few people talking about how much they enjoy the sensor on the M10. I'm borrowing one this weekend, so I'm looking forward to taking a lot of photos and playing with the files. How do you find them to be straight out of camera? I've found myself enjoying editing less and less, but I'm certainly not against editing. It's just sometimes nice to get something you're happy with straight out of camera.
