Naper Posted January 30, 2017 Share #62 Posted January 30, 2017 Yes th So they have come as close to classic film M design as this. My wallet is going to be soooo sore. Wait, am I seeing this correctly? Does the screen/back of the body protrude outwards from the line of the top plate? Yes the screen protrudes from the camera body by quite a bit Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vec Posted January 30, 2017 Share #63 Posted January 30, 2017 Well, so does the ISO dial on the film cameras... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkjod Posted February 3, 2017 Share #64 Posted February 3, 2017 I'm curious if the film half cases from Luigi would fit the M10 since they are similar sizes now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn_M7 Posted March 26, 2017 Share #65 Posted March 26, 2017 About the top plate being brass. Well I'm using the old m7 strap on the m10. Turns out I got a slight wear near the lugs which was caused by the M7's strap (The plastic that covers the lug rings). Showing through the paint looks silver to me. I'll try to post a picture tomorrow. Now I'm concerned if the top plate is really brass or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garygraphy Posted March 27, 2017 Share #66 Posted March 27, 2017 I believe some people have done so... Some pics floating around on this. I'm curious if the film half cases from Luigi would fit the M10 since they are similar sizes now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

garygraphy Posted March 27, 2017 Share #68 Posted March 27, 2017 Is yours black? If so, it is black chrome... a black power coat covers the chromium plating atop the brass top.

Yarosuav Posted March 27, 2017 Share #69 Posted March 27, 2017 Sorry, I do not know. It looks the same then my silver Summilux 35 Asph. It also looks not to far from my silver M7. The M7 seems slightly shinier. Regards Steve Gesendet von iPhone mit Tapatalk Pro Would you mind posting a pic with your silver Summilux 35 on? Thx!

Thanks for the explanation. Yeah I just noticed a sample picture on the Leia site which is the size comparison picture of the m4 and m10 together. The m4 near its lugs shows the same silver like wear on my m10. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to post a picture tomorrow. Now I'm concerned if the top plate is really brass or not. Leica uses various processes on their M cameras, depending on the model. Black Chrome is applied onto a layer of Nickel plating. You only get to see the brass if you manage to wear through the Nickel, but it will start off by showing a silvery colour. Black "paint" is different. It used to be a soft paint on brass, nowadays it is a more durable coating, but the brass will wear through fairly quickly anyway. The material of the top and bottom is always brass, except for some special editions like stainless steel etc. and the M6 which used Zinc. IMO it would be a good idea to start using more modern materials, like Carbon Fiber etc, but Leica has not progressed to that point yet.

Guest Posted March 28, 2017 Share #72 Posted March 28, 2017 Carbon fibre would be an interesting naterial for the body. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalfx Posted March 28, 2017 Share #73 Posted March 28, 2017 a carbon fiber M10 body would indeed be a sweet camera. If Red Digital Cinema can build these 8k cameras in the USA out of CF...Leica should be able to do it in Wetzlar Welcome, dear visitor!

magosak Posted March 28, 2017 Share #75 Posted March 28, 2017 Thank you Steve. Silver Summilux 35 looks good on M10. I have the silver Summilux 50mm but I got the Summilux 35 in black. I am considering to get the Noctilux next and I think it will be a silver. A big lens like Noctilux in silver might not look as good as the black one though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarosuav Posted April 11, 2017 Share #76 Posted April 11, 2017 I agree. I just got a new Noctilux and decided on the black for my silver M10. Given how big the lens is, silver Nocti looks somewhat flashy / gaudy to me... The fact I got a great deal on the black one didn't hurt either...

a.noctilux Posted May 25, 2018 Share #77 Posted May 25, 2018 This thread is quiet for a while. Do M10s need more lovers ? Or all M10 lovers are taking pictures with their M10 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincoln_m Posted March 23, 2019 Share #79 Posted March 23, 2019 I love my M10/ I looked and I don't understand why there isn't already a thread for this? Or are we only allowed to love our film Ms, which I do too? Leica M10 Black Chrome with Silver Anodised 35mmSummiluxAsphFLE. Yes controversial I know, but no Leica's have any orange paint anymore (M7 discontinued was the last one) so why the orange paint on the black anodised lenses? So I went for Silver as it matches the silver bayonet that is quite visible on M10 and also the ft scale is red which matches the red on the M10. It also looks great on my Chrome film MP.
