I wrote somewhere that, as you start processing a color image, the M10 often needs to be roughed up if you want the transparency-film look of the M9 look. In this connection, I thought it worthwhile to post the color version of a B&W image in p.1479 #4. In the image below, I applied some "Structure" using Viveza 2, which works quite differently from applying additional "Clarity" in Lightroom. Both images work for me but in this case, despite the Turks & Caicos colors that I like, the B&W image feels more expressive. Generally, I find that the M10 is excellent for both color and B&W in very bright light, as long as you underexpose a bit to protect the highlights, in this case by about ⅔-rds of a stop.

Guys... Not such a great day for my leica. It got a bit of rain on it yesterday (maybe more than I realised).
Now it won't turn on. I turned it on yesterday, and it said it couldn't read the card. And there was a odd error sign in the vf... No response from the screen. As I was with friends I just left it, but opening it now the bottom plate had water in... All around the battery and card too. How on earth is that getting in there?? I thought it was sealed?
Luckily there wasn't much that wasn't backed up on the card, nothing important. Only annoying thing is yesterday was a good friends birthday so I would have liked to get a few shots, but got nothing...
I also notice condensation INSIDE the illumination window part (the one below the shutter dial). Will that ever disappear naturally...?
Anyone else has issues with rain or dampness getting in the bottom plate like this before?
Sorry to visit only with sad news... Happy Sunday everyone!

I have shot M240 in rain and snow, but not torrential, never had water logged in the base plate. VF, condensation - yes, often.
Sorry to hear about your issues. Tried hair dryer treatment to dry it out?

Sorry to hear about that! I am partial to the rice treatment. 
. Put a bunch of rice in a large Ziploc bag, place the camera body in there (baseplate off and no battery or card), and leave it for 24 hrs. I bet after this it will work just fine... Good luck!

Been a long time since I used my M240. I had to add a touch of grain as it looked way too clean...

Hehe, very nice shot Gary! I know what you mean about the file looking too clean
So now you are M4-less?

Great images as usual on this fine thread.
ricardovaste - best of luck getting your M240 dried out
Here are a few from a 5 day trip away to points N and W of Sydney - a partial work trip for my wife, a total pleasure trip for me

Summarit-M 90 f/2.5. This one makes me wish I were back 20+ years ago, when my defence science job got me into the back of these aircraft.

Thanks is chaps. I didn't have much rice lying around but left it with a bunch I silica packs I found... It is turning on but it's far from working. The shutter responds correctly but the back LCD is non responsive, as too I think are the back panel buttons. The rangefinder is drying off but the patch is still a bit hazy, not ideal.
In the VF I get no shutter or iso info. The frame lines appear but where the shutter info would usually be at the bottom I am only getting 'So' or '5o'. Not '50',but '5o'. Any idea what this means? I can't find anything online...

David, impressive set and very nice colors!
Richard, it takes several days to completely dry the camera internally. In the meantime you can cause more damage by powering it on. I would say you should give it the time to dry, and if it still doesn't work, send it for repair.

Thanks Edward. In all cases I've simply imported the DNGs into LR, used either the Embedded or Adobe standard profile and given only minimal tweaks to saturation, clarity and contrast. Quite a bit more adjustment is often required to highlights and shadows. Wherever possible I do use the specific Lens Correction profile, one area that LR is streets ahead of the very limited lens choice in Capture One Pro.
I have others taken of the same landscape using the ZM25 that really would require an HDR-like approach to cope with the extreme DR, however I don't have much LR skill to know how best to tweak the gradient and other masks to best effect. I will probably try those particular images in C1 Pro with which I remain more familiar.
