The Leica M10 aka M240 was announced 4 years ago and released about 3.5 years ago. I was disappointed that it was such a minor improvement on the M9 and yet the price escalated dramatically. I was delighted at the arrival of the M APO-Summicron 50mm f2. and waited for a much improved iso camera that was not the M240 with a big sensor full of megapixels so that I could see wall sized photographs using my projector. I have been waiting patiently for Photokina 2016 to see the new M and to order it. and what did I get? I got offered a sofort A glorified Polaroid camera. WHY, WHY LEICA ? Why do you do this to me? You used PHOTOKINA to announce a camera that was used primarily to photograph nudie shots that you never had to send to the labs for developing. Champion move. -
Is anyone considering selling off his or her R8/DMR or R9/DMR for the new M and R adapter? I have to admit I'm tempted. While I love my R9/DMR, I often feel hobbled by the low light capabilities of the three R lenses I have (21-35 f3.5, 35-70 f4.0, 80-200 f4.0). There is also the DOF issue. And the batteries aren't what they used to be. I have two film Ms and many M lenses. I would love to be able to use the nocti, the luxes, and the crons digitally. But the only way I could afford/justify the acquisition of a digital M is by selling something—or some things. It's tempting to sell the R9/DMR outfit (maybe keep the 80-200), and pick up the M. Is anyone in a similar quandary? cheers, Brent
