I look at the MFD from another aspect, 0.7m = you won't get cartoon portraits

You won't feel as limited with 50mm or 75/90 later etc...Early 35mm Leica have MFD 1M, that is totally unacceptable. You should feel pretty good about entering Leica now as M10 is a much more mature product than early digital M.
Have fun and keep posting.
Thanks guys. I didn't know the earlier models had a 1M min! That would drive me crazy...
So far I LOVE LOVE this combo.. Definitely keeping these two.

Leicas aren't meant for close-up photography, but that's just something we come to work with. Most lenses are going to be between .7m and 1m MFD with a few Zeiss and Voigtlander lenses focusing down to .5m but they are uncoupled from the rangefinder at that point.
If that's a deal-breaker for you then the unfortunate thing is that the Leica M system isn't going to be for you.
If you give it a chance though you'll find that in most scenarios .7m MFD is way closer than you're ever going to need to be for documentary photography (where Leicas are in their prime)

Hi, Charles, Nice to see you here. I know you have lot of fun with D850, however, I do think you should pick up a M10 and a few Leica glass you loved join this thread. It is totally different experience and you should love the experience as before. I can hardly imagine a life without M, especially during travel. I decided to leave D850 at home but take Leica and RX1 (again) for a short week trip to China next week.
I agree. Do it Charles!

Thank you guys Yes the D850 is an awesome camera and I do love the FF look and feel. The M10 is definitely on my horizon too as it augments to the style of photography that cannot be replicated by technical specifications alone. Unless you have immersed yourself within the Leica M RF style of capturing images it is hard to appreciate

Gary, Very nice capture. Nice composition.
Zipe, A winner.
Charles, Sooner or later,,,,Sooner or later.
Elijah, I warned you before about 35cron. Though, I heard by removing front glass element of 35cron, you got f1.4
I continue use the lens I am not sure a lot until I understand it. Here are more 90APO shots, I feel better now. It will not win any Bokeh award, but it looks good under this condition. Medium distance WO. The slightly low contrast WO at close distance can be sharp up to improve. at about 470g, there is no lens perform better for landscape for me which is mainly reason I get it.
Lots of image with minimal editing. Hope they are useful.
