p.2 #1 · Leica Monochrom Users - M246 vs M10 Monochrom

I have 2 M 10s and an M 10 mono and had M9 mono for 9 years. Also had M 262, M-E and have shot with M 240 and M 246 and the M 10 Mono is just so good in low light. And it is very responsive. If you can afford the M 10 mono I say go for that.

M 10 Mono @ 50,000 ISO

well, having a place ion Key West and living there 4 months a year, naturally I recognize Tropic Cinema! I've got MANY images from Key West, especially looking forward to shooting it with my M11M that I acquired a couple of months ago.

Do you live there?

Unfortunately no. We haven't been down this year but we have a place we rent a place right on the Atlantic ocean (1800 Atlantic) and have been renting there for over a decade. Sometimes twice a year. Views from the balcony.

Did not know about banding, also not a big fan of f/1 DOF, in fact the reason why I need a good high ISO camera is because I tend to shoot at f/2.8 mostly.

The m246 at 25000 can show banding. It is still fine if you're careful but if you really want to regularly shoot at that ISO the M10 is the obvious choice. Or you spend the money on a 50/1!

I seem to forget about the 40MP part, not a requirement for me but a welcomed addition especially at such excellent performance. Now I just need to find a M10M at a decent price, I've seen then go for high $4K on FM, so waiting for another one to pop.

+1 that the M246 still has its chops, but taps out not as high as the M10M.

Still, the M246 punches cleaner than my M10R (aka M10M with a BFA in front of it) when I shoot my concerts, etc. Kick that BFA to the curb and the M10M shows just how much difference it makes to lose that BFA when the lights go down.

The M10M is not only a notch cleaner on the top end of things ... it also does so with a few more MP's (40 vs. 24) than the M246, along the way.

The M246 is still

yes I know 1800. Our place is in Casa Casselles. We've had 2 other places in KW, this will be our last. Love it there, looking forward to getting back for Thanksgiving. Here's a view from our balcony. I've got tons of pics from KW over the years.
