roverover Posted October 27, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 27, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Does anyone else "like" the look of the new BOLD GRAY Limited Edition M-10P? I have to admit, I like the cosmetics, although I do not feel tempted to pay quite so much for a "look" when I consider that it will likely only have 1 "matching" lens in the system. It may tempt collectors and users who solely shoot with a 35mm, which i don't, but I DO find myself attracted to it! Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 Hi roverover, Take a look here M10-P “Bold Gray” limited camera announced, love or hate?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
indergaard Posted October 27, 2018 Share #2 Posted October 27, 2018 There's a lot more pictures at leicarumors... And I must say, it doesn't look good at all. Especially the back of the camera looks completely horrible. Not a fan at all. And I think it's strange that special editions of the M10-P is already arriving before the standard version of the -P is stocked. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugby Posted October 27, 2018 Share #3 Posted October 27, 2018 Might it be designed for use on board the Deutsche Marine..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible quality control! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted October 27, 2018 Share #6 Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) It needs a blue leather wrap; marine or ocean or similar. That "grey" leather looks quite beige in comparison to the steel blue-grey of the top and bottom plates. Leica, feel free to consult me on future limited editions! 🧐😆 Edited October 27, 2018 by Simon 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heatlarx Posted October 28, 2018 Share #8 Posted October 28, 2018 No I don’t like it..it looks ‘cheap’ to me.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted October 28, 2018 Share #9 Posted October 28, 2018 Not to my taste although I feel sure it will appeal to some and it's great that Leica offers the opportunity to own something different. The red shutter button looks like it's been left exposed by a cover part falling off (although that's clearly not the case). I suspect that the designer(s) felt it would add a dash of colour or a focal point (please excuse the pun) but to me it simply 'unbalances' the camera. Pete.

ramarren Posted October 28, 2018 Share #10 Posted October 28, 2018 Looks pretty classy to me. Although I admit to preferring black cameras ... they show finger grease and other such stains less. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB_tx Posted October 28, 2018 Share #11 Posted October 28, 2018 Not bad - but I still prefer chrome, as my tastes were formed in the '50s & '60s when chrome was classy. I assume on this model lens that the hood is free to rotate? Notice the hood cutouts are oriented in the picture so they would obstruct the VF some. They should pay more attention to product photos.

Etruscello Posted October 29, 2018 Share #16 Posted October 29, 2018 I have owned an M-E and came to dislike the grey metal finish. To me, it seemed to cheapen the camera’s overall appearance. I wonder if this new grey camera reincarnates the M-E finish. One thing in favor of the M-E was that it was cheaper than the M-9. As I estimate it, this new grey camera may be twice as expensive as comparable off-the-shelf equipment. I’ll pass. Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertknappmd Posted October 29, 2018 Share #17 Posted October 29, 2018 I am not enamored but if someone bought it and offered it to me then..... On a serious note, these special editions serve a serious purpose: they are a source of significant revenue from collectors. Many German companies do this. My late father was a Marklin train enthusiast and collected all the special editions as well. I am grateful that Leica brings out these modified cameras as it defrays the cost to some extent for the regular cameras and photographers... Thank you, Leica collectors!!

Stein K S Posted October 29, 2018 Share #19 Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) They made one very much like this in a production series of only ten when the Oslo Leica Store opened a couple of years ago. Named and numbered. And fitted with a black Summaron 28... Edited October 29, 2018 by Stein K S Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stein K S Posted November 4, 2018 Share #20 Posted November 4, 2018 Hi again Not the M10, but the 240 I believe. Produced for the opening of Leica Store Oslo 11th of may, 2017. Welcome, dear visitor!
