Leica M10 with the Voigtlander 21/4 lens and Voigtlander 35/1.7 LTM lens (last three images)
Needles to say I love using this new Leica camera and so far the only thing I don't like is that there is no longer an electronic level which was really useful particularly for architecture
Looks like you're in luck Nico! According to that "rumors" site, Leica has confirmed that they will be bringing back the spirit level / electronic horizon via a future firmware update.

That is great news was secretly hoping that they would not have removed the sensor and it was just a case of having to prioritise the firmware development backlog to get the essential features out first

Be careful that the M10 applies luminance noise reduction in Lightroom automatically. This could be the reason for the softer files. Otherwise, all M cameras have no aa filter, so there shouldn't be any sharpness differences between say M240 and M10.
Definitely not noise reduction as I set that to 0. There is something different about the files in terms of sharpness out of the camera but it is in a good way it is almost like either they are doing something clever to remove the moire and colour aliasing artifacts by pre-processing the DNG files or the new sensor cover glass and microlenses are achieving this.

Thank you Nico! Now I'm very intrigued. Need to download a few files, or better, renew my subscription at RR

I sure like what I am hearing about the M10. Yet I will still try to hold out a while longer....
I had to travel very light to keep up with this crew, so I grabbed the 35/2.5 Skopar, leaving the 40/2 for a change. I forgot it needs a profile....which?
This is a really famous lens on film. Nobody really uses it alot on digital FF, as even Leica M can't deal well with the super steep ray angles.
That is the one of the few Sony bodies in the world which actually has as little glass in front of the sensor as M9 or 240. In fact it has less. It's a very special modification developed by a tech in Taiwan. Obviously there are no camera profiles or corner fix applied in the shots, which are at 5.6.
Anyway I just wanted to get some input from any who may know this lens, or like Nico, shoot 21 quite a bit. How does the lens seem to be doing?

Gary, is it my imagination, or are you going for the "M10 look" in the first 3?
They are excellent, but I have to say the colors really remind me alot of you know what
Maybe it's just rubbing off?
Or you are thinking, hey my 240 can do that, no problem.
Maybe? Problem is that I'm not really sure what the M10's signature look is.... Not sure what the colors remind you of but the first three I'm not happy with the WB at all really. Just didn't feel like spending too much time in post. No intentional processing on this set though - just that funky color tint/cast/wb I couldn't seem to correct.... I never try to duplicate another sensors output and just try to make the image look pleasing to me.
