Snipe10 Posted January 9, 2023 Share #1 Posted January 9, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thinking of picking up a new M10R and see that the new M10P cost more. Why? I thought the R was more desirable than the P due to the upgrades. This is my first M so I want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Have a Q2M now. Thanks for putting up with me as I'm new to rangefinders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 Hi Snipe10, Take a look here Why is the M10P cost more than the M10R. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
adan Posted January 9, 2023 Share #2 Posted January 9, 2023 Where are you seeing an M10-P for more than an M10-R? And used, or new? (The basic M10-P is no longer being made) There are a couple of limited edition versions of the M10-P, with special paint or markings, that cost more than a "regular" M10-P (e.g. limited edition version for the 100th anniversary of the ASC - American Society of Cinematographers) - and more than the M10-R. But they are special and rare, and priced as such. I do note some used M10-R cameras selling at a prices about the same as the regular used M10-Ps ($US 6000±).....I suspect that a lot of them were traded in for M11's last year, so there may be a temporary glut on the used market. The "-P" cameras always have some extra value (for the right customer) due to no glaring red-dot 🔴 logo on the front, and having instead the classic pre-1980-style Leica script engraved on the top. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snipe10 Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share #3 Posted January 9, 2023 I saw it on Rangefinder HK's site, A few hundred more for the P than the R. I just found a R for $4K, certified, in black lacquer so I'll probably go that route. thanks, Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
