Black or silver – and does it matter

Recommended Posts

I have a silver and a black. I personally love the silver but black definitely gets no attention. Except once someone said mockingly hey my grandpa had this camera. So I said your grand pa had good taste in camera not in.....

 

 

I was thinking grandchildren. 

 

Don't stew over something else, please.

This comes up frequently...

 

Personally favor silver as I am in the sun a lot. Silver is more resistant to scuffing than black so that may be a point for those Leica jewelers and/or bling aficionados....

 

Bottom line, PLEASE ENJOY YOUR BLACK OR SILVER LEICA!!!

I've never bought a new M before – in fact I've never bought a new camera before – so I've always had to make my purchases based on what was available and the best value for money at the time.

Now for the first time I'm thinking of buying a new M10 (unless I find one on eBay) and so for the first time I have to make a choice based on colour.

I'm stumped.

I once held up two Leica M4's, (one chrome, and one black), in front of a class I was teaching. I asked them which body was larger. They all said the chrome body.

This one is silver.

 

Next post will be black.

 

Notice any differences?

Oh this is not a scientific test. And btw all evidence delivered on the web for whatever comparison is bullshit! ;)

Everybody knows that silver gives the best results. Why else would Queen Elizabeth always work with a silver M!

I heard that Leica uses the so called A+ quality sensors for their silver models whereas the lower quality sensors (called A and A-) are built into the black models. Leica uses no B+ or lower quality sensors. The source said that the difference from A+ to A is significant. As a matter of fact the difference between the silver and the black models is absolutely relevant in the everyday photography.

 

PS: I would like to see my news statement going all way around the world and being published in the New York Times tomorrow morning. Lets hope.

People think you're shooting an old camera when it's silver, and they seem more at ease, like you're quaint and stupid and friendly. Or maybe it's just that I'm stupid....

 

Anyway, silver is the best. All lenses look great. SLOBBs are the worst!
