My MM was in a couple of years ago and they did not replace the sensor just a good clean and adjust. I sent it back about 5 weeks ago and I have heard back that they were replacing the sensor this time. They said that it would be a while but didn't commit on a time frame. I hope it is only a couple of moths but I think it's longer for MMs. We'll see..
There is no need for me to rent and M 10 at the end of the month. I was on two lists, Tamarkin here in Chicago and Murphy's Camera in Louisville. Well big brown delivered it today what a great surprise. I wasn't expecting it for a few more months. Reading the manual and charging the battery now. If you have never dealt with Murphy's before they are terrific people to deal with. Kevin Murphy has now sold me two Leica's. My original MM and now my M 10. Just great folks to do business with.
M 10 20,000 ISO 35 Lux FLE No noise reduction. I am anxious to hit the streets and shoot some serious stuff with this camera. It's quite and very responsive.
Nice! It all worked out for you Allen, that's great!
I must admit I am tempted by the M10 in the sense that it would allow me more latitude with my slower lenses (since my two lenses are f/2.4 & 2.8). I keep wanting to save up for a Q because I think it would work well for me, but perhaps I should just forego the Q and save for the M10.
Allen, congratulation to you! What is the color of your M10?

That's sick! I don't want to hear any bitching or moaning any more about why this camera can't do this or that. Those high ISO files are amazing. Especially when I'm still using a camera where the ISO limit is almost 10x less than that!
The banding that was a bit of an issue at 3200 and up with the 262 shows up if you underexpose is not the same issue 32,000 and I would say 50,000 isn't great but if you don't go under it could be useable with some NR.
Awesome.. Picking up mine in a little over two weeks. I'm in Tokyo right now, then Singapore in a few days for two weeks then I fly off to get my M10 and am going on a scenic trip for three weeks. So will have lots of time to play around with it.
