farnz Posted November 5, 2017 Share #42 Posted November 5, 2017 Leica Glow ≠ Lens Flare Leica Glow = Uncorrected spherical aberrations inherent in Mandler-designed non-ASPH lenses. . I don't think the answer is as clear cut as that. This picture was taken with a 1947 Carl Zeiss Jena 85/2 Sonnar lens (not a Mandler design of course) on a M9P and the evident glow is the result of flare. Welcome, dear visitor!

CJJon Posted November 5, 2017 Share #43 Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) Sure, SA is inherent in many designs, not just Mandler type. My statement about Leica Glow ≠ Lens Flare due to a lack of lens hood still stands however. Edited November 5, 2017 by CJJon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abram Posted November 8, 2017 Share #44 Posted November 8, 2017 Well I decided on a black one (though I maintain that I like both of them aesthetically) and Ken Hansen came to the rescue. It arrives tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. G Posted November 9, 2017 Share #45 Posted November 9, 2017 I purchased the silver an I love the way it looks, but I'm a little OCD - so now, in my mind, I have to buy my lenses in silver if available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted November 9, 2017 Share #46 Posted November 9, 2017 Even silver M10s are more black than silver... as anyone with OCD can appreciate. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stein K S Posted November 10, 2017 Share #47 Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I guess I have become somewhat stuck with silver bodies as 6 out of my 10 lenses are silver... and I can not really ¨get used to¨ silver lenses on black bodies. But hey, do not misinterpret this statement; I over and over again just fall in love with the silver combo of my silver M10 with my silver 24 elmarit asph, silver 28 cron asph v1, silver 35 cron V4 or the silver 50 elmar-m. Just very very happy that silver bodies are back. I do own the M9 in grey steel, but still do not know what they where thinking of at the time... And I guess it is fair to comment that silver represent the classical Leica look or...? ,-) Edited November 10, 2017 by Stein K S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted November 10, 2017 Share #48 Posted November 10, 2017 My M4-P is black. I am pleased. My M-P Safari is olive green. I am pleased. Getting a black Monochrom 246 next spring. I will be pleased. Getting a chrome M3 some day. I will be pleased. Leica M cameras are very pleasing. Except for the red and gold China edition and the orange Hermes edition. They are hideous.

I agree. I was very silver in my post... and I am... However, the current black M-A is possibly the nicest/coolest piece of camera ever built in my eyes! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a silver M10 as well, but all my lenses are black. They look great on a silver body. As an added benefit, they are usually lighter and cheaper.

Gelatino Posted November 12, 2017 Share #51 Posted November 12, 2017 Hello to everybody, For my first intervention on this estimated site, I would say how surprised I am after reading this thread (for the moment 3 pages but sure it's not ready to end) about the color of the camera body. Except some second degree answers it shows how in this period unnecessary has become vital. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not just colors; the "I love my MP" thread has reached 189 pages....https://www.l-camera-forum.com/topic/267593-i-love-my-mp/?do=findComment&comment=86506 There's a similar thread for virtually every model. And a fortune made by the company issuing special editions.... read fancy packaging.... for the same basic camera over decades. Just wait until you get to the 'best bag' threads. Enough to last you a month non-stop reading. Straps and cases, too. Women thought they were the only ones fixated on accessories. Welcome to the forum.

Jeff S Posted November 13, 2017 Share #54 Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) I buy all my cars in either black or white. I'm a monochrome maniac You're mainstream. 70% of cars sold worldwide are shades of grey, with white the most popular, then silver and black. Yet I find very few cars that look their best in white.... but great when it works. Jeff Edited November 13, 2017 by Jeff S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted November 13, 2017 Share #55 Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) White cars stay cooler (physically, not culturally) - but show dirt faster. I got a white Subaru recently because, like a chrome M10, it was available right now! I usually prefer silver or a light beige/green for hiding dust, though, if I have patience to wait for a delivery (I usually don't ).

pico Posted November 13, 2017 Share #56 Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Given that I got my M10 very quickly (by March) by ordering silver Do you think silver bodies are more economical to make? My Toy RAV4 V6 is 'Blizzard White' Their most expensive paint, but here we gotta blend into Minnesnowta. Counter-intuitive is us.

Jeff S Posted November 13, 2017 Share #57 Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Car makers routinely charge more for certain colors or metallics. The more popular colors like white and silver can be produced in larger quantities. And then there's just smart marketing.
