![]() Everything else is fantastic as you’d expect from a Leica Rangefinder. My only complaint about it after 24 hours of use is the sound of the shutter. Now if I didn’t have a Hasselblad X1D I would certainly have the Leica M10. It produces images like no other camera I’ve had and I love slowing down the process and being really technical about my approach when using the X1D. The resulting files from the M-D never fail to impress me and I’m just not ready to give it up, with owning the X1D I don’t see a place for the M10 in my bag. You don’t look at the screen and say yes that will do, you compose the image and click. It’s film and as such you have to learn it. I’d be too scared to treat an M10 like this.įor me, you just can’t beat the Leica M-D. It’s solid and as I’ve already defaced it with wet and dry, which I regret now, I’m thinking what more could go wrong. I sling it over my shoulder and go, no worries about bumping it, scratches etc. What I love about the M-D is its simplicity. The menu system and extra features over the M-D are great, however, I don’t need them. The images look good, I’d say cooler than the M-D images. If you’ve never used a 35mm lens for landscape photography, you’re missing out Here are just a few of the many reasons 35mm is a great landscape focal length: 1. Nothing wrong with it, I worry I’ll scratch it or it’ll catch on the buttons on my coat and damage it. 3 reasons why 35mm is perfect for landscape photography. I don’t like the screen on the back of the M10. I won’t say upgrading as I don’t see the M10 as an upgrade to the M-D. Here are several images taken with all three systems and while the M10 images are slightly different to the M-D images for me there’s no real advantage to swapping. In fact I think it produces better colour than the Hasselblad and that is really saying something. The Leica M-D is the sort of camera I just point and shoot, I don’t see it as a technical camera, however it does produce really beautiful images. I’ve mentioned before I’m a self confessed pixel peeper and rightly so, I am all about capturing maximum detail so I can present my images in the best quality prints here on my online gallery. So I took the M10 with the Leica 35mm Summilux down to Crosby Beach with my Leica M-D with the old Voigtländer 35mm F2.5 from my M4-P and my Hasselblad X1D and 45mm lens, this giving a 35mm equivalent. ![]() In fact with the number of images I take I reckon the M-D has paid for itself is film development costs already.Īnyway, the Leica M10 is a camera I’ve been interested in trying out since its launch and now in February 2018 I get a chance. So I can apply a chosen film stock filter to the images as they import into Lightroom and tell myself Ive shot film. I have a huge collection of presets in my Lightroom Library from VSCO and others. With the Leica M-D you don’t get the LCD screen so in effect you are shooting film. However the novelty of film soon worn off for me with the expense of processing film every 5 minutes. Last year I got back into shooting 35mm film with a Leica M4-P. Last year I pre-ordered the Leica M10, but the frustration of waiting got the better of me and I cancelled my ordered and chose the Leica M-D instead. Today I got the chance to try out a new camera.
