Hey! I shoot professionally (fine art and street photography) and carry the M10 everywhere I go. A D810 rarely travels with me and is only used for creating mega images (the last major project had me creating 34 foot long panoramas). Before the M10 I had to take a DSLR with me everywhere for use in low light (all Leica's before the M10 were awful at anything above ISO 800 for serious work. The M10 excels at higher ISO. Here is a recent image from Nashville shot at ISO 800 with the M10 You can check out more of my work at PhotolisticLife.com if you'd like. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Man, I hope you aren't superstitious.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think what they meant was they hoped it wasn't just glue that held that particular piece together. Their concern, and rightly so, is that Leica would use glue in an area that sees some of the toughest abuse (pulling it up and pressing it down isn't exactly a gentle endeavor). If you want to use an airplane example I suppose you could say something like "if you're afraid of glue holding an instrumental piece of the camera together, without which you'd render the camera basically useless, then you ought to be afraid of an airplane that uses glue to hold an equally important piece together, like its landing gear." You see, I don't think anyone is saying glue shouldn't be used at all as you're implying. I think you would agree that there are probably places on a camera and an airplane or even an automobile that glue should not be used. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did not but I believe someone did in the other thread titled something like "ISO stuck at 400". Leica NJ didn't say anything about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Truly appreciate the feedback, I'll consider this next time. Take care. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting feedback! I appreciate your candid review of my review however I have no interest in abstract talk about shooting with a camera. As I stated in the review, it is a tool. If you want someone to write a poem about the little stomach tickles they get when they head out with their shiny Leica... I'm not your guy. Sorry my intro got you so excited, I'll try to tone it down in the future. Ps... Being a father of a one year old, I would love a festival of snoozing. So you're welcome for that.

Thanks for the feedback! So far the dial has been working well. Fingers are crossed! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys (and gals), I finally got around to posting the M10 review on my site. Just wanted to share the link for anyone still waiting: http://photolisticlife.com/2017/07/03/a-street-photographers-review-of-the-leica-m10/ Thanks and enjoy the M10. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine failed the first time I used it. Has since been working fine after visiting Leica NJ. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wish I would have thought of that! Just kidding. I have not had a chance to pull out the papers from the old camera to confirm... Unless you meant you couldn't believe I didn't know it off the top of my head... I'd probably answer a question like that with something witty and sarcastic. At first you'd want to be upset but then your inner voice would say something like "Ah, he got me there... What a clever hombre". You'd say hombre because it rolls off your tongue much better than "guy". Then you'd Google hombre just to make sure you knew what the definition was. And someday we'd run into each other on the street and laugh over this silly post. You'd probably tell your wife what a nice guy you met and regal her with the entire story. She'd tell her friends at the yoga studio or over bridge (whichever is most age appropriate) and, sure, they wouldn't really get it. But we would. As for why I wouldn't want a new body... I mentioned most of it in the post you quoted but I'll expand on it. I understand everyone's mileage varies but of the 5 Leica bodies I've had not one has not had an issue. Now, this doesn't dissuade me, because the Leica is simply the best tool for the job in regards to my style and the majority of commissions I take on. Hence the reason my posts aren't the normal angry "I can't believe my $6+k camera isn't perfect" post. I hope for the best but plan for the worst, that is why I don't want a new camera. I much prefer a camera that already has the quirks worked out than something unknown (especially with a Leica). I fully appreciate that you may not feel the same way and thank you for respecting my opinion. Take care, Friend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

**Update** Fairly sure they replaced my camera. Received the camera back today and my black dot is now red again (I always replace my red dot with a black one from DAG Camera). ISO seems to be working now but I will continue to update if I have issues. I was not wanting a new camera as I had issues with my M262 sensor and they eventually replaced that... Issues similar to what others are having with their M10's so I will have to watch for that now. At least I knew my old one didn't have that problem. If you'd like more info you can check out my website PhotolisticLife where I'll be posting a full review in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully this isn't a recurring problem. Side note: I never saw the point of the ISO dial as I never had an issue with the previous digital Leica cameras and their implementation of it. Seems like a gimmick and unfortunately I've proved that it's just another point of possible failure. Just my own thoughts on it, obviously others really like it and I respect their preferences.

. I can't speak for everyone but as I mentioned in the first post, this is not possible. Getting my M10 back from NJ today and will update when I get a chance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sure, I'll let you know. They are working on it now. I'll post here when I get it back with an update. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Mike, they did a great job with my M262 (had a bad sensor and shutter mechanism). Only drawback was that it took about a month. Hopefully the turn around on the M10 will be a little quicker. Luckily, I still have the 262 as a backup. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
