Advertisement Posted December 3, 2022 Posted December 3, 2022 Hi DirkR440, Take a look here I ordered the m10-r black paint. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Mikep996 Posted December 10, 2022 Share #422 Posted December 10, 2022 After almost a year, I've decided to part ways with my M10RBP. I just find myself unwilling to use it due to how great it looks, using my standard M10 when shooting M-digital. It's pretty sad but I should have considered before I bought it that I might think it looks too "nice" to use. TBH, I'm not really sure why it affects me that way, I have no trouble beating up other Leica Ms! Since I bought it from them, I'll probably trade it to Leica Miami for some gear, not sure what. Oh well, definitely a first-world problem. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natually brass the hell out of it to his heart's content. Otherwise, he regrets Not doing that on his death bed.

I'm a professional photographer and I use my black paint M10-R daily. It was scuffed withing weeks of purchasing it about a year ago. It's just beginning to brass on the corners. I will note that I bought the camera brand new at a price that was less than the standard M10-R. Not that it makes a difference in how I use it.

Yeah very true now i unleashed no fear using it keep telling myself it’s probably the last M with a baseplate and in black paint, it would stay however, my MP bought new n brassing beautifully and that’s replicating the idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikep996 Posted December 17, 2022 Share #429 Posted December 17, 2022 " I bought it brand new and it is in fact my last camera body" Hmmm...

I love it because especially inside the f1.2 help me to use a faster shutter speed for talking pictures of my daughter. And also I can take pictures from a distance of 50cm. f2.8: Welcome, dear visitor!

tap360 Posted December 19, 2022 Share #431 Posted December 19, 2022 I have just been lucky enough to get a M10-R BP. I still love my chrome M9-P, but what beautiful camera...might have to try and keep both ! Still amazes me though, the hotshot cover is just cheap plastic, not even the metal of the M10-R I am sure it has been asked, but are there any thumbs-up in black paint? I presume the Leica one is anodised black. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume the Leica one is anodised black. The Match Technical Thumbs Up grip is baked enamel paint and solid brass underneath. Mine for the Q2 is showing some brassing. Congrats on the BP!

I presume the Leica one is anodised black. They are hard to find but sometimes one will just show up. That's what happened during my search when LeicaSF got one a few months ago. I'd start searching all the Leica stores on a regular basis, maybe even inquire via email with Leica Miami or SF. Most of the dealers would be glad to help a potential Leica customer...they know you'll remember their efforts. Be careful of the lesser known shops as they might just try and sell you a black anodized instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonzo Posted December 19, 2022 Share #434 Posted December 19, 2022 In theory the MatchTechnical is the perfect match. I got it in autumn 2021 for my M10-R BP. To my surprise, it started brassing quite quickly. It took a while, until I found out, where the paint had gone. Most of it was on my dark red winterjacket, which I wore almost daily at that time. There was no doubt, the black color on my jacket was right there, where my camera is usually positioned. I helped myself with manual brassing the thumbs up at the edges, so that this would no more happen. And my wife accomplished the miracle to clean the jacket as if it was new 😅 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakontil Posted December 20, 2022 Share #435 Posted December 20, 2022 the match technical is really the perfect match, got it back for my m10 and now to my BP m10 and well brassed... no efforts to brass it though but ergonomically it is better than of leica's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranciscoChung Posted December 21, 2022 Share #436 Posted December 21, 2022 I guess I got the last BP thumbs up from Leica Miami Many thanks to Josh😅 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkR440 Posted December 21, 2022 Share #437 Posted December 21, 2022 I also got mine from the store in Miami. I had to pay more for the shipping to Switzerland and the customs than for the Thumbs Up itself. But it was kind of impossible to find one somewhere else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
