Advertisement Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Hi Sucherblick, Take a look here Where the M10 excels .... I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
M11 for me Posted January 22, 2019 Share #42 Posted January 22, 2019 „. . . to take photos like Cartier-Bresson - there is no other choice than to use Leica M camera.“ That is no nonsense at all. That is pure logic. 😳 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAC Posted January 22, 2019 Share #44 Posted January 22, 2019 To, me it's the balance of size, image quality, handling, build quality and simplicity of use which cannot be matched anywhere else. Of course it can't do everything, but there is no other camera I would rather have with me for walking around on a daily basis. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TG14 Posted January 23, 2019 Share #46 Posted January 23, 2019 At the end of the day, ppl use Leica for many and different reasons. Beauty..... beholder. But, out of all possible reasons, if you want a digital camera w optical range finder, only Leica. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertknappmd Posted January 23, 2019 Share #47 Posted January 23, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) The M10 (as well as its prior iterations have several advantages.. 1. It makes you think as a photographer 2. An array of splendid lenses 3. Small, stealthy, compact.. 4. Well thought out and beautifully built. 5. Lasts forever and no real need for the next version... I usually wait for two cycles.. Albert 😥 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telemetric Posted January 24, 2019 Share #48 Posted January 24, 2019 I am new into Leica’s world. I have a Leica M10-P with two Leica lenses and I have a Sony A7R-III with Sony and Zeiss manual lenses (Loxia series). In my opinion you can have the manual experience too with another camera. You only have to use a manual lense and you will slow down to take a pic in the same way you do with the Leica. We can talk about Leica’s sex appeal, cam and lenses size, etc, but what made me feel in love with Leica was: 1- White balance. Much much better than Sony’s one IMO. 2- Colours. I think Leica’s colours are more attractive than Sony’s or Nikon’s (I am a former Nikon owner with a Nikon D810). 3- Noise. Yes, noise can be beautiful too for certain kind of pics. Again IMO, Leica’s noise is more similar to analogic photography grain than other brands Of course, there are other things that I think Leica is a step behind like dynamic range or high ISO (noise sometimes can be attractive but can be a problem too in certain circunstances). Of course, is only my opinion and I can be completely wrong. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Q Posted January 24, 2019 Share #49 Posted January 24, 2019 I love the M10-P because it's small, stealthy and silent, but honestly I'm mostly attracted to the M lenses for their balance of size, rendering, and performance. I tried adapting them to Sony bodies and the SL, but it's no secret that M lenses perform the best on M bodies. Although I don't mind shooting with a rangefinder, I slightly prefer an EVF nowadays as I get more keepers. It is what it is I guess. I also shoot with the Leica Q which is my primary carry. (it's currently the best digital Leica in my opinion) I also have a Fujifilm system to cover my zoom and video needs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not too sure about the white balance of m10. I used it once on a very sunny day (i had to squint my eyes type of sunny) near the sea and the jpegs were very blue. (I know i can perhaps use raw etc). Those from the iphone were more representative. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmahto Posted January 26, 2019 Share #56 Posted January 26, 2019 The M10 is uniquely good at __sucking your bank balance__. Well, somebody has to point it out! Serious and well formed answer is given above by respectable members. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted January 26, 2019 Share #57 Posted January 26, 2019 As a retired computer programmer I got the M10 because I thought it was a natural digital M2. Go figure. In binary. And WTF is the motive of the nubee OP? A class assignment? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffry Abt Posted January 26, 2019 Share #59 Posted January 26, 2019 The M10 has so much going for it. It is a joy to use. But white balance is irrelevant, if one uses raw files. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telemetric Posted January 26, 2019 Share #60 Posted January 26, 2019 White balance affects the exposure too. Even if you can change the colour dominant when you process the raw, is better to have an accurate WB in the camera to have a similar exposure in all set of pics. I like to take pics, process a raw file is something we have to do but I am not crazy about it, so I always try to have a raw file as better as possible to spend the minimum time possible processing them.
