Anywhere to rent an M10 in the UK?

Hi There,

I've not used a Rangefinder for a few years (Q2 owner, and previously M3, M9 and M240 before jumping to Fuji) and am considering a switch to the M10 as my only camera.

Its a very big investment for me so I'd like to give it a test run before making the leap, but I can't find anywhere to rent one in the UK. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Ask your nearest Leica dealer. They usually have a demonstration model that you can use for a few hours provided you have left your credit card, driving licence, or both.

Make sure you try the M10 and M10-P.

Depending on where you are in the UK and provided you hand over your passport, driving licence and buy me a pint, I would be happy to let you try my M10-P with your own lens or a £25 rental of a lens I don't use any longer. Just bring your own SD card. 

I am in rural Sussex.

Thanks so much Peter, that’s very kind of you!

A couple of people have told me that Leica stores can offer this service, so I’ll think I’ll pop in this week. Thanks all!

Good hunting with the M10s. If there is a small price difference then go fo the M10-P. It will always have a much better resale price than the M10 and it is a much quieter camera.
