Advertisement Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 Hi CS Gray, Take a look here Jono Slack: Leica M10 Monochrom Field Report. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Ken Abrahams Posted January 30, 2020 Share #142  Posted January 30, 2020 I have the M10M but I wouldn't be letting the M9M go. The M9M is unique in that its CCD sensor and lower megapixel sensor renders much nicer textures for the images I take on the street. Its harder to achieve the same exaggerated grain quality on the M10M in my assessment so far. The M10M is a very different camera with extremely high quality images at high ISO values, along with better functions such as quiet shutter. The M9M shutter sound is almost rude in comparison. There is no point trying to emulate the same quality of images possible with the M9M and instead the M10M offers a whole new way to capture and process images to one's individual styles of photography. I am loving the M10M and with further explorations I will develop a workflow that this camera along with my creativity is suited to. Its kind of a co creation process between camera and self, a personal development project in my view.        8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like the processor is maxing out,  very distracting. Hope mine is not defective.  Pictures are not affected though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don’t recall seeing anything like that - but sadly I don’t have a camera to check it out on, and I didn’t use live view (or the EVF) all that extensively. I always reckon that Leica should let me keep the camera after doing the review . . I’m afraid they always want them back! Good luck with getting it sorted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no lines on my screen in dim light. I tried in very dark light and still no issue as described. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRKstudio Posted June 13, 2020 Share #154  Posted June 13, 2020 The line kind of moves from top left to bottom left as you move from stop to stop, 1 stop underexposed then it moves down at 2 stops, again at 3 stops.  It’s almost as if some relic of coding an exposure graph on the screen remains in the firmware.  Hopefully not my hardware at issue, I got mine brand new from Leica USA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidmknoble Posted July 16, 2020 Share #157 Â Posted July 16, 2020 @NRKstudio, I know its been a few weeks, but I was not clear, is this only on the live view or is it in the RAW image as well, the DNG file? Â In other words is it from the viewing mode or the sensor and the image file? As an aside, you can ask questions and submit things in the Fotos app (even the free one on the mobile phone). Â I have asked many a question. Â It may take a week or two given COVID to answer, but I've always gotten answers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
