Rendering of M10 vs SL?

 I am so torn between these cameras. Which ever I choose, it will be paired with a single lens, the 28 Summilux.

 

Many Thanks for anyones impressions.

Thought about the Q if you want auto-focus? What is the point of pairing a SL with a single fixed focus lens? The rendering will be what you want it to be from all three.

Even if the rendering is somewhat different between the cameras it must be minor compared to the difference between the view finders, handling and the shape and size between them.

You need to decode which handling and viewfinder you prefer. Focal length between 28 an 50 i prefer the simplicity of the M over the sl, except you need super accurate framing.

Try them and see... only your impressions count.

I own the SL and the M10.   Ergonomically, with some of the smaller M lenses, the SL may not balance well in your hands. I'd say the M10 would be a better fit for the 28/35 M focal lengths; I use my SL mainly with a Nocti f/1 and the Summicron-M 90APO.  

 

I think you need to ask yourself a few questions:

 

1) Do you want a rangefinder (OVF) or a camera with an EVF (you can add an EVF to the M10 if you want)

2) Will you ever have the need for AF or OIS?

3) Do you care about footprint size and weight of the platform?

 

I personally went for the SL to shoot my Noctilux (which I already owned) as well as my 90APO because my eyes were having a harder time focusing that focal length with a range finder.  I feel you will like the rendering of either camera, certainly enough to correct in post if needed.

 

Enjoy!

Yes, I need to check them out myself. TVM

I agree with MT0227(?) that the overarching question is wheter you want a rangefinder camera or a EVF camera.

 

I have both the M10 and the SL. I use M-lenses on the M10 and R-lenses on the SL. I have the L-to-M adapter but I see no reason to put M-lenses on my SL with very few exeptions. But then I am a rangefinder guy....

People can give you well intentioned advice ad infinitum BUT....

YOU need to use BOTH bodies yourself and then decide.

There is no alternative than trying it yourself!!!

I am happy using rangefinders, will need to source an SL to check out the EVF. Many thanks.
