The M10-R is the last digital Leica I expect I'll ever buy

This is in fact an AWESOME idea. I have seen the glossy chrome top plates of M6 and would LOVE one such camera above...

I did this for a previous silver M10-R but only for the red-dot. I soaked it in acetone for 2 hours, and the paint came off easily. It looked sleek in silver aluminum and is quite appealing for the silver body. Unfortunately, I don't have any images of it. Swapping the black lettering for a silver one would be really cool.

I started my digital rangefinder journey with a EPSON R-D1, and each new generation brought that same type of questioning.

Leica M8 : bought after a lof ot back and forth thinking

Leia M9 :  immediately ordered.  

Leica M240: unexciting, passed

Leica M10 : loved it at release time but had no money, finally bought used 4 years after.  

Leica M11 : unexciting, will pass.  

Leica M12 :  unless there is significant improvements in the viewfinder and a bag full of cash suddenly falls from the sky, I will probably pass. 

With the M10, Leica reached maturity with the M system. For now I plan on using it until it becomes unfixable or does not make sense financially to repair.

Still own and use the M8 by the way.

I remember your outstanding street photography from your blogs of over a decade ago. Do you still use that 1.2/60 Konica Hexanon?

Thank you, looks like I did not jump on the POV, YouTube train on time  10 years ago we wrote about and showed our pictures on blogs. Nowadays we need to mount a a camera on our head for a chance for our pictures to be seen. Kind of ironic no?  

Yes, still own and shoot the 60mm Konica Hexanon at times. But with time, I tend to go out with one lens only and usually it is the 35mm Lux Asph.

M10-D is where I’m stopping.

That's where I should have stopped
