So there are people who want a classically minimalist M with no LCD and buttons etc, but still want WiFi, a phone app, visoflex, and maybe even the darkroom to go with that classically minimalist experience? 

Old school look disguising (reasonably ...) modern technology. There are more examples to this.

Oh well. Still kinda cool.

I can't decide if the thumbrest is genius or a cheap and tacky gimmick.

With the MP out of production, they obviously have boxes of advance levers to get rid of...

I found I liked it, too.  I've posted a short review over at  GetDPI .

Regardless which function the lever will have or not have, 95% of my friends will think I'm totally stupid when I tell them that the camera I’m currently using (future vision), is a digital camera without a diplay but with an advance lever instead. And all this for a around 8,000 euros – without a lens.

What a crazy, beautiful, exciting yet costly niche. 😁

»Yesterday´s steadiness The integrated, fold-out thumb rest«  — Now I definitely won’t tell any of my friends that my M10-D is a digital camera. They think I'm using an analog camera since the M8 anyway.

It's a cheap and tacky gimmick.

Is the MP out of production?? I missed that news!

[earleygallery]

How does one use the lever thumb rest and the thumb rest incorporated on the back of the top plate? I guess there's probably some people with two thumbs on the right hand?

[willeica]

I don't like the term 'analog'.  It should just be film. 'Analog' was adopted only after digital arrived to mean 'not digital' for people who did not know what film was.  I don't accept the term 'mirrorless' either and as for 'files' instead of photos, this has me reaching for a shotgun. 'Digi-babble' has truly taken over.

While a lot of folks think that any Leica M is a film camera, the only way for a photographer to get the real film experience is to use a film camera. Anything else is just 'let's pretend', but marketing people , including those at Leica, are good at selling dreams and illusions. I presume they have done their market research on this one.

Would be nice if the made the thumb rest optional. My other question is why is the smaller thumb hump and wheel still there? They could have removed that as well and made it as minimal as possible.

Hallo,

Look here: Leica M

[ramarren]

My note to each of the ten Leica dealers who sent me notice of the new model this morning:

You can tell your contacts at Leica that the only time I'm ever going to be interested in an M10-D is when they offer a model without that stupid faux film wind lever on it. All those stupid things do is get in my way. I put up with them on film cameras as a necessity, I DON'T WANT ONE ON MY DIGITAL CAMERA. At all. EVER.

 

Thank you,
