Here is “The very last Kevlar™ named M10-P Reporter built (so far) 😄”. Not bulletproof. Not tougher. Not sturdier. Just a pretty work tool. Lens: Old Delft Minor 35mm/3.5 LTM, strap: Hyperion Hand Made Camera Straps (Greece), strap protectors: Deadcameras (Portugal). Welcome, dear visitor!

Borna Posted January 31, 2023 Share #243 Posted January 31, 2023 Love this thread. There is a fellow Leica Shooter named Danny Bligh with a crazy reporter with lots of brassing. According to him if I understood it correctly it is fully natural brassing. His reddit: downtowninjury and IG: Dannybligh (photos is his and not mine.) Welcome, dear visitor!

Stuart Richardson Posted February 9, 2023 Share #245 Posted February 9, 2023 If only there were reporters using the Reporter, one could do a story on it to get the word out... (just being a bit cheeky. Personally the fraying would not worry me too much, at least not at this level...) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted February 9, 2023 Share #246 Posted February 9, 2023 Maybe the fraying is supposed to be just another version of brassing to make your camera look like a "real" Leica user's camera... 😅 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackPaint Posted March 8, 2023 Share #248 Posted March 8, 2023 Can anyone confirm that Leica is now using a different "aramid" material? I was looking at the latest example and it was a different pattern than our original little Kevvies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have problems charging the battery, try another power cable. But first give it some time. The cable I got with my M10 was defective. Good luck!

overexposed Posted March 27, 2023 Share #252 Posted March 27, 2023 ok so i was impatient and went home during lunch time, with my M10M battery, which is 100% the reporter boots up, thats the good news. so i suspect its the new battery or the charger, i guess its the charger, as it doesnt recognize my old battey at 80%, though its 100%. just keeps flashing green gonna check with leica about the battery and charger the dealer i got it from said its the battery and it needs to be charges 72h because it hasnt been charged for a while, ok the camera is 2 years old, it was an unopened box, but still doesnt feel right 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgh Posted April 3, 2023 Share #256 Posted April 3, 2023 Obscene, but then no surprise. These were meant to be fetish objects from the get go. Get the same form and functionality for less than half the price or pay a lot for green paint and a less durable grip - but scarcity! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
overexposed Posted April 3, 2023 Share #257 Posted April 3, 2023 pretty much the reason why i still got mine, as well why i will get another BP, its an insane world, why shouldnt we profit from it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a common characteristic of digital special editions. Here is a screenshot from Leica Milano store. So thrilled to own both of these modern classics. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Perhaps in dealers and some auction sites that is the case, but at US$13,000, this is $5800 more expensive than one available for private sale at the moment (FM, listed at $7200), and twice the average list-price of the 3 most recent sales of the same camera ($6600) Is it possible this one comes with a safari-green 28:2 that we can't see ? 😉😁 Edited April 3, 2023 by grahamc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought these were cameras. If you want to invest there are surely better ways to do so. To each their own but this is the part of Leica that I find nauseating, but I guess it helps keep them afloat making normal bodies for people who want to make pictures instead of buy mantle pieces. Then again, it being an insane world is no justification for playing along IMO - that's a pretty slippery path. This rugged, conflict color themed camera body - I'd be curious to see if there's one in the hands of one serious working, honest to goodness conflict photographer out there. None of the ones I know or have known would pay anything extra for the aesthetic differences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
