Guest Nowhereman Posted November 2, 2018 Share #27 Posted November 2, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) Sure, you can use Lightroom to level a shot, but it involves cropping — one should be able to do this in-camera when taking the shot, whenever that is important (not that often for me). Presumably, the level facility was crippled intentionally in the M10, and now has been activated in the M10-P. If it's only a marketing strategy, it sucks and doesn't endear me to the Leica Marketing Department. _______________Alone in Bangkok essay on BURN MagazineNowhereman Instagram Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! How much! I suppose it must be good at that price, just as we pay Leica prices for the best equipment in the universe, but I've got to tell you the same thing is on eBay for £5 (or less) with free postage. I've got one in each camera bag, but for a cheap bit of plastic and a strangely attractive green liquid pro rata the Manfrotto price would be like having a spare M10 in each camera bag. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post processing software is part of digital picture production, just as much as a camera. All I can suggest to someone who does not use post processing software is to get a cheap spirit level and to take time taking photos and, of course, to have your eyesight checked at regular intervals.

No I was referring to this one. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/461939-REG/Leica_12011_Universal_Wide_Angle_Viewfinder_M.html I have the EVF, but I never use it for wide angle lenses. I much prefer the Frankenfinder not because of the spirit level, but because it is much nicer to use despite its size. My one came with a WATE.

derleicaman Posted November 6, 2018 Share #34 Posted November 6, 2018 On my recent Med cruise, I used the WATE extensively on my M10. It would have been nice to use the level function that the P has, but in reality you can do fine without it. I had the Frankenfinder with me, but never took it out of the bag. I had the Viso 020, and was using that in the first couple of days. After I lost the case, I got irritated by that and just started using the rear LCD. With its frame lines, it worked very well for composition and lining things up with the grid lines activated. I would first focus on the subject matter and then use the rear screen. I used this with the WATE, the 24 and 28. Didn’t bother with the 35, 50 and 75. The trip was over two weeks in duration, and I thought I would have loads of time to set up for pictures. Wrong! The reality is, you are only in port for about ten hours. Very hectic, and you are shooting rapidly and it is tough constantly changing lenses. I used a Sony NEX 6 as a back up and decoy camera in areas like Barcelona where theft is a problem. I would have liked to have a second M10 to minimize lens changing. The list of equipment brought along but never used was embarrassingly long! Tripod and pocket tripod. Frankenfinder. I was testing the new CV 50/1.2 Nokton for Viewfinder, and had my Summilux ASPH along for comparison, as well as the 50/1.5 Sonnar ZM. They stayed in the cabin safe. I was never in a position or the luxury of doing comparison shooting. 75/2.5 Summarit, rarely used. I took over 1800 images in 16 days, and the number of technically good images was very high. Very few images not in focus, blurry or exposure issues that Lightroom could not handle with ease. I needed to do some tweaking to correct level or keystoning, but not very many. I would post some of the images here, but the new software in no friendlier to images than the old, and I am having a problem with reducing images size in Lightroom. Lessons learned: the WATE is indispensable for this kind of trip, a 24 or28 was the next used lens and a fast 50 comes in very handy. A second M10 would have been great. The rear EFV is very useful. Decoy camera worked out well in areas where I didn’t want to risk the M10 around my neck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
