Advertisement Posted July 6, 2017 Posted July 6, 2017 Hi marcg, Take a look here Is this the first second-hand M10?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted July 6, 2017 Share #2 Posted July 6, 2017 Probably caught by his/her partner smuggling it in... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcg Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted July 6, 2017 Yes. Sounds pretty familiar. My last Leica was black and I had to explain to my partner that it was a very old camera because it only shot in black-and-white. My M10 is also black, and so far no one has cottoned on that it isn't my MM1. This is what I call – living on the edge! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
@ndy_ellis Posted July 6, 2017 Share #4 Posted July 6, 2017 I'm very uncomfortable about this conversation. My undisclosed M10 is in the safe at home - only I have the combo. Waiting for the 'right' time. The old 'Oh - I've had that ages ... ' isn't going to work. As somebody once said about their high spec bicycle. 'When I die I hope my wife doesn't sell this based on what I told her I had paid for it' My best hope is quid pro quo. My wife bought a new car but hasn't sold the old one yet. I am not giving her a hard time. Each car is worth a touch more than an M10 body. My reserve position is I sell my Sony A7RII and some nice Canon and Zeiss lenses.

jaapv Posted July 6, 2017 Share #5 Posted July 6, 2017 I have had chrome M cameras since 1976. My wife pretends not to notice any changes and additions, I pretend not to notice that she does<n't> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcg Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share #7 Posted July 6, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) A few years ago my father noticed that our neighbour had bought a new car – a silver Volvo – identical to the old one. He mentioned to the neighbour's wife that he was impressed that they had bought a new car. She became very angry because apparently she hadn't been told and hadn't noticed even though she had been driven around in it for several weeks before. She stormed into the house and I got the impression that she gave her husband a very hard time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDrift- Posted July 6, 2017 Share #8 Posted July 6, 2017 There is always the brave double bluff.... I told you I was buying a new camera, just shows how much attention you pay! ....risky tho! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill W Posted July 7, 2017 Share #10 Posted July 7, 2017 I am always safe if I "trade" something or "sell" something on ebay to fund a new purchase. If she buys a new purse which is often, I am good to go as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she buys a new purse which is often, I am good to go as well. My wife and I actually give ourselves a monthly "allowance" that we can use to spend on anything we want, anything that costs more than is saved of that has to be negotiated or snuck in though.

jaapv Posted July 7, 2017 Share #12 Posted July 7, 2017 "We discussed this, don't you remember?" And the ensuing discussion will establish that her memory is elephantine and yours more like a colander, which is probably uncomfortably close to the truth...

a.noctilux Posted July 7, 2017 Share #13 Posted July 7, 2017 When M10 came out, early this year, my wife toll me that it's time for me to have new "long waited M" (that's my sentence). I wanted to trade-in my MATE (the lens not the guy ) for M10, but she tried the MATE then adopted it. I gave her for that good advice my M9 and MATE. We are both happy with our deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkmoore Posted July 8, 2017 Share #14 Posted July 8, 2017 Sold mine already. Sold it on eBay. After posting many positive/glowing reviews I was hit with an instigating M camera. Multiple attempts by DAG to adjust the rangefinder that left me frustrated to say the least. I will buy another one but I believe that some cameras are cursed (or faulty components)! No hard feelings with Leica because I have had the M9, M240, M246, D-lux 6, D-lux typ 109, Q, and none ever had focusing issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozu_shutterbugger Posted July 8, 2017 Share #15 Posted July 8, 2017 Lol my own story is someone asked where I buy my vintage camera from while my wife was around. I gave my dealers name and told 2k.. she asked, with lens? I said yea. Later my dealer called back and yelled at me. What do I tell!?!

M10Alpine Posted July 8, 2017 Share #16 Posted July 8, 2017 A Hermes Birkin bag is about 8000 to 10.000 € so as long as I'm at 3 seats on equal numbers, my wife will not be forced to sell one of her Birkin's. I call it consumer terror balance. My wife called it a Mexican standoff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
