Because if we keep adding and adding in the future the digital M will only be an M by name. So if at some point in the future my camera completely dies and Leica is unable to fix it any further, my option is going to be an MP or whatever film Leica they have at that time. That’s just only my opinion and why I’ll stick to the M10R. If you start adding more things to make it easier it’ll go from a picture making device to a picture taking device.

But because the M10 still keeps it classic (with a couple of tweaks in the menu like perspective control that I never use) the M10 lets me make the picture. You can add a lot of things to the M so it’s easier to take a picture. I think the M10 reached the maximum of stuff you can add to an M until you really start changing it to make it easier to shoot.įor me a classic rangefinder (meaning a rangefinder to focus, no IBIS, a single simple metering that isn’t super accurate but you need to get to know to use to its fullest potential, just minimalist experience), vs a mirrorless camera is the difference between … I have a real problem adding things to the Leica M to make the shooting too easy. If you are interested in ordering the M10-R Black Paint, you can do so at Leica Store Miami by clicking the button below, calling 30 or sending an email to info. The last of the “simple” classic digital M’s. Initial deliveries of the M10-R Black Paint will start this month for a price of 9,295, or 300 more than a standard black anodized M10-R.

If Leica keeps going where they’re going with the M and keeps complicating the M then the M10R will be in fact a classic.

Future classic? Well who knows how these things get started and gain traction.
