Picked up an M10 yesterday. Took it out for an hour today. 

 

I have an M246 with usually a 28mm Summilux that practically lives on my shoulder. I almost always use this combination and for the rare times I want color, I have a Q. I had sold my M240 for a Q and it was a great decision.

 

Yet the M10 was there and if I don't want to keep it, I'll have no problem selling it I figured.

 

Anyway, here's a few pictures from today. I see size limit of 500K and had already exported them at about 500k each.

 

Might do one at a time. Hope no one minds.

Heck, no.  Keep it up.  You're doing great on the Winogrand criterion of having many figures all with visible faces and interesting expressions.

 

The rules let you post pictures up to 1 MB through a link to a site such as Flickr and the moderators don't start to intervene until someone goes 4X or more over the limit.

Get used to it until sensor technology changes fundamentally. I find the files at ISO 6,400 extremely clean without banding. It is definitely better than the M240, but whether the improvement is enough to justify the upgrade is a matter of personal opinion. I am still using an M9 and I find the sum of the improvements quite remarkable.

They are finally getting near the OOC "look" of M9 RAW uncompressed at base ISO (in both). Not past it though. It's all ISO, and maybe some more editing leeway in terms of gain in image quality. In fact, the M9 never looked nicer than in the context of M10. LOL What was that 240 thing? ;)

 

M9 is 75 grams lighter. Almost a Elmar 5cm lighter. Yikes!

 

But I admire M10 much and would love one. They will never look like a well used black paint M9, though. 20 years from now, it will be worth the most, you watch.

 

More M10 images, please :)

Ran a couple of tests @ my dealer's in Paris... I've always admitted having issues with color, and always agreed that I was not using my M240 properly. The M246 is actually my main camera.

 

As a result, I found all of my M10 tests to be "yellowish" and unfortunately disliked the outcome.

 

I would probably need more time and once again I'm no reference in photography and more specifically in color photography.

 

I'll probably wait for the MM10 :-)

 

Anyways meet my sweet Alix, here standing in front of a M10 with my Summicron APO 50mm, usually fitted on a M246, and converted in Silver Fx.

An early experiment at ISO 25K. Some noise reduction applied in lightroom.

well, the white does look reasonably white.  But the skin is an ugly yellow that - at least to me - doesn't look natural.  Perhaps the WB setting needs to be changed?

 

 

I think I was too excited to get the M10 that it clouded my judgement. It was certainly more than just the warm yellow LED lighting. I updated LR to 6.8 and the Adobe profile is SIGNIFICANTLY better. Silly me.

I found most of the files "out of the camera" to be really "yellowish". Is it me and my eyes playing tricks ? Even the samples just above are "yellowish" to me...

 

 

do you mean the jpegs the camera generates or the DNG?

How are you importing them?

 

LR 6.8 has the correct adobe profile and images are pretty nice imo

 

I wouldn't judge images posted online, as you have no idea what was done...the images above appear to be heavily processed.

Snooper - Please see this thread.  I had the same impression as you as well.  As digitalfx stated it is a Lr version issue.  Solved already.

Here is an example. First image is the Adobe standard profile and the second is the M10 Leica profiles. The Adobe profile is only available if you update LR. (no editing done to show the color differences)

Saw the same topic at another thread so I move my question over there.
