stump4545 Posted August 16, 2012 Share #1 Â Posted August 16, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) just had my whole m9 and m lenses (21, 50, 90) calibrated together at leica nj. Â if i was to purchase an m10 would it be ideal do that again? Â that wouldn't be good. Â thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted August 16, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted August 16, 2012 They won't have been calibrated "together" - they will have been calibrated to factory specifications, so no. Â Regards, Â Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No....Although the M10 is still rather ethereal and hard to purchase in that state.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWC Doppel Posted August 16, 2012 Share #4 Â Posted August 16, 2012 If the M10 is as clever with it's new viewfinder as people suggest it might not matter anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted August 16, 2012 Share #5 Â Posted August 16, 2012 er....... Â by definition if the next camera is an 'M' it will have to be ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bocaburger Posted August 17, 2012 Share #7 Â Posted August 17, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) The only issue with an M10 rangefinder will be the same as with the M9, that is whether it was properly calibrated at the factory. Â What could possibly prove to be an issue is coding 3rd-party lenses. Leica will need to re-write the in-camera processing for each Leica lens to match it to the new sensor. So it's possible some of the same codes that worked with 3rd-party lenses on the M9 might not be optimal with the M10. That was certainly the case going from M8 to M9.

tobey bilek Posted August 18, 2012 Share #8 Â Posted August 18, 2012 They are not calibrated to work together, they are calibrated to factory specs separately in order to maintain interchangeability. Â Normally the only thing that will go wrong from here is the camera RF might go out. I have never had this happen because I am very careful, do not jar the camera and focus to closest distance when changing lenses . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had this happen because I am very careful, do not jar the camera or subject it to vibration such as unpadded car or airplane travel and focus to closest distance when changing lenses . I am extreme and crazy, but better safe than sorry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jev Posted August 18, 2012 Share #10  Posted August 18, 2012 It depends on the lens and requirements  Leica NJ calibrated Noctilux for me some time ago, invoice included sensor position adjustment for M9. I was told by them that they do some adjustment on camera to work with the specific lenses that you own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iLikeLeica Posted August 19, 2012 Share #13 Â Posted August 19, 2012 Does one easily know whether adjustments are needed or is it easy enough to say that, for example my summicron 50m from the early sixties - ages prior to my conception for sure - could well use it?

brianv Posted August 19, 2012 Share #14 Â Posted August 19, 2012 My 1950s Summicron 5cm f2 works fine with the M9. Typically the issue is with very fast lenses, or lenses made by a manufacturer that has made different assumptions about film laying flat in their cameras.

Adjustment is only needed when your images are misfocussed and it is not pilot error. If you are happy with your photographs do not let posts on this forum wind you up and entice you into photographing tape measures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
