I'm still new to the Leica ecosystem and have acquired an M10 (used) with an Elmarit 28 ASPH (brand new). I've had this setup for a month and due to budget constraints, would like to stick with just one lens for a while. I was shooting as wide as 24mm (eqv.) on the Fujifilm X-T4 before this, so 28mm feels like home to me. Its a great focal length that I feel lends itself very well towards guiding the viewer. However, I'm having quite some trouble (I don't wear glasses) seeing the 28mm framelines on the M10. Sure, I can peek and find the lines on either side, but by the time I've composed properly on one side, I've lost sight of the other; and I see the effect on the final picture. It also makes shooting quickly (so far), very hard, I have to spend some time composing the shot and ensuring both sides are to my liking. I've missed shots in the process. I've used the frameline selector to see what the 35mm framelines would look like and they are much better. I've shot with the 35mm before, and even tried a used 35mm summicron (ASPH) earlier. However, I found it to be pretty dull (low contrast, flat, but it was a used copy, so I'm not sure if that's normal). And I think by moving a little, I can make the 35mm look more like 28mm (in most cases). The extra stop of light will also be welcome since I do hit the Elmarit's limitations during the winter months, indoors. I'm in a fix and would like some advice from people who're more experienced with rangefinders than I. Am I overreacting at this stage of my journey, or should I switch? I still have 4 days to return the Elmarit (which is in pristine state), but I cannot seem to make up my mind.

Greetings all! This past December I decided to dive into film photography for the first time. I bought a new Leica MP and used 35mm summicron ASPH (v5). I took the camera and a number of different film stocks on a family trip to Taiwan. What a joy to use! I finally understand what others have said with regards to the pleasure of using these cameras, regardless of how the photos come out. A few things I learned: I tended to underexpose and need to get a better handle on the exposure meter. As a wearer of glasses, the 35mm framelines at 0.72x magnification can, at times, be challenging to see. I also found myself wanting to frame tighter (50mm Summilux is on the wishlist!!). I need to get better at ensuring that the camera is level - I had to straighten a few photos in post. I need to work on white balance and editing in post. Either way, I'm really excited to continue down this path and looking forward to more participation in this forum! Here are a few photos from the trip:
