Yeah i think with the M10 you just have a more peace of mind, it is gonna work.. i dont know how to explain, while taking my m11 out, there are times i checked on my camera just to make sure it aint freezed 

after having both for a few months, i guess i settle with R blackpaint better for now, mind you i m obssesed with the blackpaint though so i might be biased 😂

I think the teething/reliability issues with the M11 will get sorted, just as they have with prior M iterations. But I think it might be a transitional camera nonetheless, given some newer but perhaps not fully realized concepts and features. Time will tell.

I traded my M10 for an M10–R  just before the M11 was released.  I’m typically not an early adopter, and I found the M10-R to be a good complement to my M10 Monochrom (though never used together). I didn’t intend to get the BP version, but the dealer made me a trade offer that I couldn’t refuse. I’m not obsessed with it or other gear; tools to be used.  But very capable and enjoyable tools.

I’ve been passionate about photography -pictures, prints, books, shooting, etc - since the 70’s; cameras come and go.  But I did bond with the M experience in the 80’s and haven’t been without at least one since.

Yeah jeff i think im progressing towards that M experience.. the film bodies stay though and i know i might think a little bit too early, hope the m10 bp stay too.. 

glasses easier to stay like i was told, you date a body, marry the glass

For me, rangefinders are so basic that the M11 really wouldn’t give me that much of a jump, i guess maybe the battery life, but I just carry a spare battery. The M10R 40MP sensor is amazing. I know the meter is different and all that, but, I think once you have an M that you love you can pretty much stop worrying about camera bodies. At least that’s the case for me. 

I absolutely adore my M10R BP. A year with it now. I still feel just as excited to shoot it as when I got it. Besides the month with the M10P, this is really my first Leica.

I feel the same way, but for me it's my M10, and it's been mine for three years I think.  I neither need nor want larger images than 24mp.  I could upgrade it, but why.....  Given a choice between a shiny black camera, and one more like the Leica cameras from my past, I have no desire for "shiny".

Yea. If I didn’t have the sensor issue with the M10P I would still be shooting it. That was supposed to be my forever camera. But I got rid of it quickly and just bought a new one. 

I do like the feeling of the black paint better than the black chrome. Feels like you’re holding pure brass.

I'm scared to ask - where can I read about this sensor issue with an M10P ?   How common is/was it?

Pure brass - I wonder how the M would sell, if it was available in pure brass?  I guess it would need a protective coating, so the brass didn't "fade".

For me though, I would pay the most to get an M that looked like my old M film cameras, however they were made.  I don't like "shiny".

I don’t know how often the 24MP sensor had that issue. It was a vertical line at 100 and 200ISO that at first appeared to be a pixel mapping issue but it wasn’t and needed a sensor replacement. 2 year old M10P  

I noticed it after about 2 or 3 weeks of ownership so I got rid of it. It was my first ever Leica so it was unexpected. 

I decided to stop the used Leica thing and just buy new. And the new one was the M10R. 

Oh I found a photo of it. That broke my heart so I don’t want to talk about it much.

That sensor made every picture look pretty. I liked the M10P a lot.

I'm searching your image, but I can't find the line you're referring to.  Maybe I need new glasses?

If you're rather not talk about it, no need to reply.  

Oh, and is that a "MegaGear Strap"?

Not that image. It’s hard to show here. I would have to dig up a sample photo. But I sent this to Leica. I had to alter it so it can be seen here.

anyway. Every image would have a line from top to bottom like this

I sent them the raw and they said I needed a new sensor. It came up at ISO100 and 200. So I assumed it would just get worse.

also a few times a photo would like something I can only describe as like a tearing. Not sure how else to put it. A small black tear or spot. But it didn’t look like a spot. It literally looked as if the image was tearing a little. I saw it a few times. Wouldn’t happen all the time.

sticky iso dials

Did you ever try Contact Cleaner? On my XT2 the shutter button would get sticky (I mean like it would get stuck pressed and wouldn’t pop back up sort of sticky) and I would just spray contact cleaner and it would leave it as good as new.

Not the dial that stick physically but regardless any iso u set, it wont matter, it will stay with a designated iso value

Sounds like my 10P. My line wasn’t that obvious but same thing. 
 

Here is what Leica told me.
