Tobers Posted August 1, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 1, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm not taking photographs nearly as much as I'd like these days, so a business trip to Utah with a weekend in the middle proved to be an excellent opportunity to get out and about, albeit with temperatures of over 40C. I decided to go out and try to get some of the "trophy" shots of the arches and towers that everyone gets, but also looked for some more "interesting" pictures as well. I normally shun "trophy" shots as standing with a bunch of other snappers taking the same picture isn't my thing (not since my sports photography days anyway) but it was very good fun, and they are trophy shots for a reason. The M10 was really rather superb throughout. No issues with high temperatures at all, and it handled the rain very nicely as well (yes, it hammered down one day). I mainly used my 24 Summilux to get in the expanse of it all, with a smattering of 50 Lux and 90 Cron thrown in for good measure. The astrophotography bit was intersting - I haven't tried it before but it came out quite well. I suspect that a high-end Nikon or Canon would do better on the high ISO noise front, but with a wide aperture lens like the 24 Lux I could keep shutter speeds decent (15 sec) without ramping the ISO much above 1600 or 3200. Anyhow, here's a write up and pics for you. http://tobinators.com/blog/2017/07/techniques/trophy-hunting-in-utah-leica-m10/ 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmahto Posted August 1, 2017 Share #8 Posted August 1, 2017 Not speaking for OP but for me dust is non issue on my M240. Unlike other mirrorless, shutter is protecting sensor in M (switch off or don't use LV when removing lens). Even if dust is there, it shows up only in smaller aperture and only in the sky where it is very easily cloned. I clean my sensor only once or twice in a year.

Tobers Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share #9 Posted August 1, 2017 beautiful work! No issues with dust when changing lenses? Albert Not speaking for OP but for me dust is non issue on my M240.

Even if dust is there, it shows up only in smaller aperture and only in the sky where it is very easily cloned. I clean my sensor only once or twice in a year. I was very careful changing lenses (and the 24 stayed on there most of the time). It was VERY dusty and when the wind blows around Mesa Arch, dust gets everywhere. I'm happy wet cleaning my sensor when required, but haven't had to do so yet. I've got maybe a couple of dust spots on there at the moment. One technique I do use is to put a loop of reversed tape in the endcap which picks up bits of dust lurking about the back of the lens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude675 Posted August 1, 2017 Share #10 Posted August 1, 2017 Great stuff. I didn't think it would be that crowded. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
