Satisfied with color of camera chosen?

I really struggled choosing between black and silver. I went with Black because my M6 is black and to me it is more incognito.

 

Looking back, I am still not sure I made the correct decision. I know this may seem stupid but that’s how I feel. I guess I will get a silver m11. LOL

 

How do you feel about your camera color choice?

Given that I got my M10 very quickly (by March) by ordering silver, I have no doubts whatever about my original choice. All other things being equal, I usually prefer black - especially since black chrome has returned with the M10. (Wanna swap? ;) ).

 

But "a camera in the hand is worth a hundred on order." And unless one is into "male jewelry," the color is so....meaningless.

 

I'm sure that at some point in the future I'll get a second M10 body, and it will be black, (more or less what I did with the M8). No rush.

I usually choose black, but found the protruding silver mount on the M10 a bit odd, so decided on silver when presented with both options. I've kept the red dot, which I would have likely changed to black on the black version. Silly stuff... just personal preference.

I wanted black for a change, got black.

Only thing I dislike is silver lenses on black bodies so that makes a coded Elmar-M 50 that bit more difficult to find because it has to be black. (still looking)

 

Absolutely no regrets in my colour choice, camera is superb in every respect.

Get any black one and send it to DAG for coding (or similar if you're not in the US).

Why doesn't Leica make a clear coated brass model?

Like this one. http://www.digoliardi.net/brassleica.jpg

Two very costly brass special editions have been made... the Jim Marshall M246 ($13k) and a special set of 35 M-Ps from Singapore last year (for a mere $35k each).... both editions came with matching lenses. But neither finish looked the least bit distressed or old fashioned.

Well, The final Answer is quite simple . . After all, you do need a backup (don't you?)
