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.  

As the previous poster mentioned, Match Technical USED to make the thumbs-up in black paint but these are now officially discontinued as the M10-R BP edition is sold out. I got mine from Leica Miami (out of stock atm), but just last month I saw one of the very last ones in stock at Leica Berlin (click). It is a perfect match to the camera, exquisite and functional.

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.

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 😅

Don't know if you're still looking but I stumbled across one at Popflashphoto.

Looks great.

Now if only Leica could apply the previous "stealth" finish to a BP M10-R and also to a 35APO ..... I'll pay my deposit immediately.

So after two years, the M10-R Black Paint is one of the VERY FEW *digital* M's that has increased in price on the used market by 50% due to demand.
Something we have previously only seen in special edition analog cameras is, after 15 years of M digital, becoming a new reality.
(Offered by one of EU's biggest Leica dealers, september 2023).

Dumb price. Leica Paris had a mint one fully boxed for 6,600 euros in the summer and it took them over a month to sell it. Dealers list it at 12k, but somehow never offer more than 5 when buying. 

Another two digital camera that raised in price recently are the M10P Safari and the M10D. By the way, leica is reconsidering the possibility of the M11-D after all.
