Tobin, I have the opposite problem, a black paint lens on a black chrome body. Perhaps we should trade

I can't trust Kiki around my cameras. She promised she'd ask permission to use them but then I found this on the memory card...

You know how sometimes you get something on a whim, cuz it's so cheap so you think why not?
Wellll, I picked up a new (old stock?) Jupiter J8 from a dood in Ukraine and slapped it on my M:
It back focuses, but so does my CV 35 1.2 so I took a couple of shots to see how much to compensate by. The miracle of being able to chimp!
I took this at f2, similar to one I had posted earlier with a more expensive lens:

An interview given by now outgoing CEO Oliver Kaltner about Leica's strategy, products, etc., the day after the M10 announcement. This is the same one over at Leica Rumors in case you've already seen it, but the link is to the original source and is in English.
Interview
One tidbit I found interesting is Leica has ceased partnership with its Hong Kong distributor and will instead have its own presence there. I wonder what it will mean for those HK Leica retailers with the ultra-low pricing (relatively speaking of course) that were quite tempting the last few years...?

The camera manufacturer Leica has to look for a new boss.

His decision was based "on other plans that I would like to pursue," declared Kaltner. Until the end of August, he would be "available in full" as the executive committee of Leica Camera AG. Kaltner had taken the position of head of the traditional company in April 2015.

Ron, I don't think anything will change as all Leica items sold at low prices in HK are actually grey market goods and are not officially imported.

Out in Oxford (UK) today and walked in to a Trump protest. First ever protest photos for me - straight out of the camera as jpeg's, no post etc. M240, 35 Cron ASPH. These aren't up to the standard that many of the above images but I was impressed at the camera's output and very rarely shoot anything other than RAW.

I haven't posted here for a while as I am enjoying shooting medium format film too much. I could not however resist buying the new Leica M10 and I definitely made the right decision selling the M240. Post processing the M10 files is almost too easy now and the dynamic range and colour is such an improvement. If you are using Lightroom make sure you upgrade to the latest version. I prefer the Adobe Standard profile as a starting point - the Leica M10 embeded profile is OK but just a bit too yellow for my taste.
Something that the reviewers seem to have omitted from mentioning is how well the sensor handles wide angle lenses in the corners. Almost all of my non Leica lenses work perfectly with no colour casts and even the Voigtlander 21/4 has only the slightest hint of red on the right hand side. It clears up perfectly with the Leica 21/2.8 profile.
The images below were taken today in London with the Zeiss C Biogon 35/2.8/ZM - originals at https://www.flickr.com/photos/nico1974/

^^^^ Drat! I had convinced myself that the difference between M240 and M10 wouldn't be worth the expense and that money could buy some great lenses..

Major pop'n shots there Nico! I'm still waiting for my dealer to call. I've heard that stock won't be in till later this month.
In the meantime, here are the last few from my old town sac and railyard set with the 246 & 35/2.

I'm glad the M10 is what it is, I wont be buying one myself (may a used one some day) but I like what they did with it. I'm definitely enjoying shooting on my film Ms though, it's just such a satisfying experience (for me personally), moreso than what I got with digital M bodies.
The only thing is that I keep swapping lenses lol! I'm all over the map trying out everything under the sun. That is one really nice perk about M mount glass in that you won't lose much, if any, money on the resale if you buy smart.
Keep up the great posts everyone!

Fantastic!
Saw your M10 photos on Flickr, was surprised you already jumped on it haha :-)
Good to hear about the corners. A Leica-Q like sensor in an M body is tempting (the DR @ High ISO is so much better on Q than M240).. I just wish they shaved another 100g off the body .. oh well.
Maybe I'll grab one second hand in a year.
