M10 - the Image Thread

Very interesting!

I use the sl with only M lenses, and I wonder if it's interesting to switch to M10 only for IQ...

Which one do you prefer to focus (accuracy,...)?

If I go with the M10, I'm afraid to send all my lenses to Wetzlar for calibration :/

Mike, I wouldn’t switch to the M10 from the SL for IQ. I do have to take back my comment, though, that the SL sensor may be a bit sharper. I just had a couple of bad days focusing with the rangefinder, I think. The M10 sensor is as sharp as the SL sensor in my opinion. I really like the appearance of the images using the Adobe Standard profile and WB as shot in LR without any adjustments. It looks like the M10 emphasizes the Magenta a bit and the SL more the Orange. But I find the WB and the M10 colors to be quite accurate. Of course, one can change color balance to one’s liking in post.

 

As far as focusing is concerned, in the last two days I struggled a bit to focus quickly and accurately the M10 whereas the SL was a breeze to focus in comparison. But today I went out with just with the M10 for a walk and I really enjoyed the rangefinder experience. Not much to shoot but in the link below starting from picture No. 19 are some samples to give an idea of the colors and sharpness. All exported from DNGs out of LR with only LR default adjustments applied and exposure tweaked slightly in a couple of them.

M lenses on the M10 look slightly better than on the SL...but probably not enough of a difference to upgrade for this reason alone.

I sold my SL because the SL lenses were just too big and I only used M lenses...for me the quality difference in addition to the much smaller body of the M10 made it worthwhile.

 

But if you like the EVF and versatility of the SL...its not much of an upgrade. Then you also have to consider the plummeting used prices of the SL body...is it worth it?

Thanks digitalfx  

 

Good to know. Yes the SL lenses are quite big. I do love the small size of Leica Ms and a couple of lenses.

Me too selling my SL, but was using M lenses anyway. Looking forward to arrival of my M10!

Good move - I am happy with my decision.

[steppenw0lf]

I would never sell the SL. Simply had too much fun with it during the last year.

In the same way I would never sell the M246 or an older film M6 I use. I would also never sell my pet (dog or cat or guinea pig).

Please add more images and stop describing your sales/purchases.

The more I use the M10 the happier I am with it.  Files make lovely B&W prints too...

I am in Greece at the moment for a short holiday with the Leica M10. A lot more images to follow when I am back and have access to my workstation again - a couple of images taken and processed very quickly on a Mac Book -whilst I am away - I hope that the colour is OK as the screen is not calibrated. First images - Zeiss ZM 35/1.4 second Zeiss ZM 25/2.8

Thank you Siegfried, lovely photos on your website too.

Back in London and playing with Auto WB, Auto ISO + A mode.  For "snapshot" work this is the most effective combination I've used in any camera I've owned.  Seriously impressed.

All image processed from RAW but NO WB adjustment.
