Hi Guys, I currently shoot Portra 160 & 400 on a Leica M7 with 35mm Summilux ASPH pre FLE and 50 cron. I love the look of film and the overall experience, but as I live in a small town I need to ship my film off to a decent lab, which makes it quite time consuming, as well as expensive. I am not interested in processing film myself or scanning negatives, so am considering getting an M10 to supplement my M7. Basically I would use both, M10 in lower light or when I didn't want to wait for images. I do not expect to ever sell the M7. What I am wondering is if the M10 files can be easily tweaked to look similar to images shot on Portra 160/400. In the few direct comparisons I have seen the digital files look very different to film in terms of color etc. but these are always straight out of camera jpegs. I know I will need to tweak the raw files in lightroom to get a similar look, I was just wondering if: 1. Anyone here shoots Portra 160 and 400 beside the M10 and can comment on matching the colors of the digital files to a Noritsu scan. 2. If you use a preset, which one best achieves the look with minimal additional work? 3. Are there any specific exposure settings needed on the original M10 to be able to match the files? I'd like to restrict my post-processing if possible - I shoot professionally and the reason I started shooting film again was because the last thing I wanted to do was shoot with my workday gear on weekends and have to edit my own raw files. I know that an M10 purchase takes me back to editing but I'm hoping it can be a quick and relatively painless process if I get a suitable workflow and don't overshoot. I'm only interested in the M10, not R version as I am happy with 24MP for this purpose and don't want my face rubbed in how shaky my images are with no IBIS. Thanks!

Hello, I got back the photos I took with my M7 and Portra160 film. I am not sure if this a light leak o a developing issue. What do you think this might be? Thank you for your help.
