Perfect for people who have bought a new black paint M and some emery paper and don't know there is already a light meter in their camera.

Not sure if it is a wise decision especially when the m11 is just around the corner. But what more could I wish for. It’s almost a perfect Leica m for me. I’ve always wanted the m10r to be of similar design to the m10p, and black paint is a huge bonus. 
 

I’m just preying that the m11 won’t come with bp as a standard option or it will be drastically different in terms of design language, so that this camera can retain its value better. (Call me selfish :p)

A good decision. I also got the M10-R BP. I would simply be overwhelmed in which sensor resolution I should now take pictures. And the habit or fetish of a black-lacquered Leica is indescribable. There is nothing better.

i have the 10R BP and it is a lovely camera that I will keep as long as I can use it

i also have the M11 which is a different camera and lovely in itself, I do like the things they introduced with it for comfort (larger batttery, better visoflex, no baseplate etc)

Image quality is great on both

Yes, I can confirm that too. The image quality of both cameras is very high.
Here's the proof:

Honestly. Besides some differences that are pulling hairs, the difference in IQ between the M10R and the M11 is the M11 gives you a bigger file. 

in terms of every day use, there is no significant difference.

Interesting. I`ve never had such experiences with (new) Leica products or with their service - lucky me.

Meanwhile I have my copy too, everything works absolutely perfect. I think this is the most beautiful digital M, which has been produced up to date.

@StevenHave you asked for a replacement ? Otherwise good luck to you for getting the camera fixed quick and properly !

The day before I received my camera, I went out and bought some sandpaper... Here goes nothing haha! 

With how careful I am with my cameras, it would take me 100 - 200 years to patina it! I needs the sandpaper!

@Wonzo @Flu How about your BP M10R? Any shutter issues?
 

Mine works perfectly after 7 months. Should I be paranoid? Is this a ticking time bomb or what?

Good. Really glad to hear it. Mine too is buttery smooth.
 

After 7 months my hands itch when I’m at work. I just want to take pictures. Of anything. The other day I went out quickly and my wife said it was weird to see me without my camera. It’s always with me. I’ve never had such an experience before. 
 

The feel of the black paint over the brass. Never hear people talk about this. It feels really good. Like you have a classic chunk of brass in your hands. Definitely not the same feel as the black chrome. 
 

can’t imagine what the M11 in aluminum feels like but, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t like it. 
 

M10R Black Paint. The ultimate Leica M.

Just rattled off 10 shots on it to check. All good and no issues so far.

BTW: the silver M11 is brass, but won't patina the same due to silver coatings.

10 months into working with M10-R BP. Mine was one of the first that came to EU. Loving every second of the time spent with it and still not considering the M11 (although that usb-c charging from a powerbank is mighty mighty temping when going off the grid for a week).

I sold my M11 to finance the purchase of my M10-R BP!
Did not like the delayed shutter of the M11.
Now I have a real M again.
So try before buy 🙂

All black paint items have gained around 20% since this auction earlier this month. The 50 E46 was priced in average at 5600 and it just went to 7K now. 

There is black paint madness on the market. 

Thankfully, i managed to purchase my black paint dream a couple days before the auction. It’s being delivered this Monday. Can’t wait to see it in real life. 

The black paint madness continues.
Nearly impossible to find a 50mm Summilux BP under 10k€ nowadays.
Collectors and investors are filling up their cabinets I assume 😞
