Allan - Agree with you. Also, I think that the M10 is so good that I don't miss my MM that I sold to finance it.

Hi Mitch,
Funny that you mention that. I was actually thinking of selling my MM (something that I thought I would NEVER do) to help finance a 90 2 APO. AHHH well maybe not. I do really miss my M M but this M 10 is really the finest digital M to date. It is maybe two full stops better in low light than my M 262 and doesn't have the banding. 20,000 is still really useful.

Seriously considering to make a very poor financial decision soon lol.
Do you want shallow DOF? if not why not invest 35 Zeiss biogon C or Summarit lens to fully enjoy Leica spirit. M10 has one of best low light performance, not even shy to latest Canikon. f2.5 should be good for most.
Having said that, VC35 is a wonderful lens just big. Maybe try VC35 f1.4. I actually like what I see from it (lots of character, I will get it if I don't have 35lux V1) or even better VC35 f1.7, one of best Leica 35mm lens without break your bank.

Yeh, M10 is really impressive on low light performance. Last time I checked Bill Cliff's sensor score, this one head to head to 5DIV and Nikon DF in low light, awesome!
As for 90APO, somehow, I am still not a fan of it after 2nd time get it, at least for portrait, it just missing something I feel. I don't know how to put it in word. Maybe because bokeh is very bland I feel and it is not a real high standard APO lens even with APO label. Is there a way you can try it first before get it? could be just me though.
Again, Great images, guys. Sorry I didn't individually comment them.

Gentlemen, Thanks for your endorsement of metal reels. I have organised to buy a 35mm Hewes reel from the UK, and a 35mm and 120 reel from another eBayer in Moldovia(!).
Having watched a YouTube video on loading with Hewes reels it seems that they are worth the extra cost. All being well I'll have these reels by the time I process my next films. I currently prefer to use an old Jobo CPA processor to maintain a very accurate temperature hence I shall try and continue to use that with the stainless reels for the time being.

Yes loading reels takes a bit of practice. I always preferred metal reels and metal tanks. When loading I always run my index finger VERY gently over the emulsion back while rolling on to make sure I don't get any dings and to see if its loading on evenly and correctly. If a ding or crinkle does happen I can back it us immediately.Gentlemen, Thanks for your endorsement of metal reels.

I don't have the V2 Nokton however I picked up a Mk 1 for a song here in Australia. It is a lens that I'm prepared to carry quite often, despite the bulk. As for the M10, its price new here in Australia is some A$10,000 so I don't see me jumping to that anytime soon, especially having only recently changed from M9 to M240. Glowing endorsements of the M10 do not promote a zenlike inner calm!

Yes. I think M10 is worth the upgrade from M9 or M240. Just don't sell your M9/M240 first.. make sure your new M10 does not develop sensor problem on the second day like mine.. what are the odds right?
Am waiting for Leica to replace my camera, unfortunately no stock yet.

There is a line across the sensor. At first it appeared during first few shots of the day (cool room temperature) and it went away, then it kept coming back all the time.
See crop, can you see the blue horizontal line across? Also called Leica NJ and they said it might be "fixable" but general advice from others is to get a replacement camera since it was brand new.
Notice, I am not complaining, used to this with every digital Leica I owned since the M8. The only one without problem was my MM

Rotten luck Joe with your M10. I love that M240 28 Summilux shot.
Fantastic images Abram! That first one really extols the Sonnar...and Portra 160, my favourite colour print film.

Yeah.. both it and my MP are gone. I find myself sometimes wishing I kept the Sonnar but it's such a fickle lens if you have one optimized wide open, mine was perfect from f/2.8 onwards (so the primary usable range) but was so tricky wide open.
I keep wanting to get another one, but I also like what the little Summarit f/2.4 can do as well. The first shot of my dad was at f/2.8 with the C-Sonnar.

I agree that the M10 is worth it. The problem is I can't afford 2 bodies right now, especially if they are from different brands. My issue is that I love to take LE photos BUT the way I prefer to do them is by stacking multiple images. By that I mean taking a series of 5-10 second images and merging them to 1 instead of taking lets say a single 1 minute or longer image. I just can't understand why Leica will not allow us to turn off LENR, which kills this type of workflow that I am used to. We should be able to determine if we need it or not and in most cases if it is really necessary then taking a dark frame should be able to fix any problems that may arise.
Honestly, not being able to turn of LENR is one of the main reason I'm holding myself backing from switching to the M10 or any other future Leica ATM. I have only been doing photography for a few years but every camera I've owned previously has allowed me to turn off LENR, so I just don't see/understand Leica's reasoning for preventing us from doing so. I know its a pretty specific problem to have but it's quite important to me.
