M10 is smaller, lighter and tougher than any A7 in the real world, beyond dispute: if you want it that way. That's just because it shoots the great tiny lenses, like 28 elmarit, 35 cron asph, v4 50cron, great. There is alot less sticking out to wreck. The only reason my A7 is still going is the M9 has done all the heavy lifting on the trail. No way in hell the A7 could take it. I never had a Nex-5 last a year.
BTW the Kolari cannot shoot those wider two near as well as M, because it still has an extra .7mm of glass between the sensor and the rear element.
To pretend a DSLR is comparably portable is laughable.
I can ski bumps at speed with a M9 and not worry, except about my own ribs if I crash. M240 was not any bigger, just heavier, tougher (no fragile RF cali), but still M10 is a bit heavier than M9, though smaller which is great. I thought M240 was bigger than M9 also for years. It was only the little wheel thingy. Size is otherwise identical, and battery much better.
For the M primes. 28-90 the RF is way nicer than EVF, in my experience. No comparison to some stupid tiny TV---Once you are used to it. That took me 2 months or so for the framing. Focus speed is far faster and more accurate than Sony EVF in actual use, including wth superspeed lenses wide open. I did not expect this, but I've shot the bodies side by side many times. The M9 always wins at an event. There are a bunch of reasons which make my eye wince just to think about, let alone enumerate. EVF MF is literally a headache.
But, for a really small, really tough M back I would live with the TV, and carry ibuprofen.  ...Show more →
Hi Charlie,
How does your M9 do with your 300mm, 400mm, or 500mm Canon or Nikon lens do? Oh right, it doesn't. The M240 or the M10 yes. The same is true with your Macro lens such as the R 100mm f2.8 Apo-Macro-Elmarit lens. M9 no, M240 or the M10 yes. How about working with Grad ND filters with your M9. I have done it with my Mamiya 7II with good success, but it is not such an easy thing to do. If you need to shoot a scene longer than 1 minute for your M9 or the M240 forget it. For the M10 up to 2 minutes at certain ISOs. There are Pros and Cons to working with a RF or an EVF or OVF. I have worked with all 3, though for me, I wanted the RF with my Mamiya 7II rather than the Leicas for the sharper images than a Leica M film based camera while at the same time as sharp or sharper as the larger Pentax 6X7 cameras.
Also, if you wish to use your M9 as a Mini View Camera on a Cambo Actus. Forget it. An M240 or an M10 yes. But, the Sony A7 series camera, will be the best for this application because they have the built in EVF and do not require the add on EVF though the year LCD of either Leica or the A7 series cameras are also possible.

Plus the little M catch will pinch your forefinger. The M6 is only 15 grams lighter than the M9, and actually feels heavier. So why on earth is it so much nicer to hold? I always thought it was the size. Just that little bit smaller and bingo! Perfect. Wrong.
