Another from Win Green . . .

The owner (founder) of Rega plays for my table tennis club 😃🏓 As you might expect, he has a pretty impressive hi fi set up in his house as well.

Oh dear, I have a Porsche Taycan and a Leica. Of course, you only feel the pain when selling and I will keep both. Digressing slightly, the problem with cars is that silly PCP credit deals enable people to buy something when they couldn't even afford the HP payments. I always buy new, always pay cash, only spend what I can afford, and always have a healthy trade-in to offset the cost of my next purchase. Back on topic . . . my Leica is the M10R Black Paint and Leica Mayfair have one on offer at GBP 11,800 so that model is bucking the trend. But I'm still not selling 😃

Leica Mayfair seem happy to wait for the right buyer with their pricing strategy: https://classic.leica-camera.com/uk/en/lcuk/Leica-M10-R-Black-Paint-20062/20062SH-5623777?utm_source=CRM&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=701Sd000004TqnbIAC&utm_term=https%3a%2f%2fclassic.leica-camera.com%2fuk%2fen%2flcuk%2fLeica-M10-R-Black-Paint-20062%2f20062SH-5623777.

That's simple. Ask ChatGPT, copy, paste, and then preferably ignore 😂

Noticed on post #11 you mentioned owning the SL with 24-70. Maybe just stick with the 50mm on M and buy SL 75mm APO. You really can't go wrong with that lens, unless of course you want to use it on the M . . . then it gets difficult 😂 By the way, I really like your Monochrom photos . . .

I had something similar with M10 Mono. It was being carried in a small bag and I hadn't realised it was switched on. When I took it out it was really hot to touch, but cooled down quite quickly. I also noticed that the previously fully charged battery was down to about 20%. When I checked the SD at home to download [what I thought was] a dozen photos, I found over 1,000 blank shots. It must have firing continuously in the bag. I have since been careful not to carry any camera switched on in a small compact bag. Hasn't happened since.

And he has the Tower of London for sale at a reasonable price . . .

B . . . just prefer the warmer colours.

If they had released the camera last week, the guessing would have started three months earlier 🤣 All part of the fun . . .

Interesting discussion. My only M lenses are now two APOs, 35mm and 50mm plus the reissue 50mm f1.2 Noctilux. I bought M11 Mono to use alongside my Q3. Both 60 mpx and this set covers all my current needs. I also have M10R Black Paint, which is lovely but only cosmetic. It is used a lot less now and I do wonder whether I should swap for M11P. I actually prefer the finish of the M11 Mono to the Black Paint. Not sure if the finish of the M11P is the same as the Mono.
