garygraphy Posted March 4, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 4, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've been an avid digital M user since M8 days, and I must say the M10 strikes all the right notes to the point I couldn't find anything I didn't like about it except one thing, albeit minor one. The LED light in the bottom left corner is just not gonna do... All previous digital M models had the LED on the bottom right which means it typically get covered by the hand and doesn't alert anyone unnecessarily especially when its dark. Its minor fix with a tape but one I hope Leica will take into consideration on their next design. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkmoore Posted March 4, 2017 Share #2 Posted March 4, 2017 It also blinks in your eye if you turn the camera vertically. I agree that this was an oversight. I can live with the minor flaw. Perfection is an illusion sought by those with a self fulfilling prophesy of disappointment. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garygraphy Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted March 4, 2017 Indeed, the light flashes in your eye creating an annoyance. It also blinks in your eye if you turn the camera vertically.

david strachan Posted March 4, 2017 Share #4 Posted March 4, 2017 "Finally found a complaint"...says it all really, for the new M10'ers.. But I'm sure you'll find a work-around. cheers.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Mandeville Posted March 4, 2017 Share #5 Posted March 4, 2017 But I'm sure you'll find a work-around. Another use for black tape! Leica have really missed an opportunity here. They should sell Leica branded black tape for $50 a roll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garygraphy Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted March 4, 2017 You kinda get disappointed when Leica gets it all right. "Finally found a complaint"...says it all really, for the new M10'ers.. But I'm sure you'll find a work-around. cheers.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireboy Posted March 6, 2017 Share #7 Posted March 6, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) someone told me my camera looks expensive. Even after I put tape black tape over the logo. WTF. There's another complaint. :-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steamboat Posted March 6, 2017 Share #8 Posted March 6, 2017 someone told me my camera looks expensive. Even after I put tape black tape over the logo. WTF. There's another complaint. :-) Silver or black? Black since you're using black tape, I assume. If you really want to rough it up, cover as much of camera as possible with black masking tape. :-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeleica Posted March 6, 2017 Share #9 Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) someone told me my camera looks expensive. Even after I put tape black tape over the logo. WTF. There's another complaint. I finally had the cover the big fat red logo on my M4-P, got tired of my friends constantly giving me crap and saying "What's that big red button do slick?" I once told a guy "It's a call button for your girlfriend". Edited March 6, 2017 by Mikeleica 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
