I'm struggling with what to sell and what to buy right now.
Buy the M10
I hear you on the Sony, I don't think we are the only ones. I shoot Sony when I need automation when I want to be confused by Kamikaze menus. I shoot Leica when I want to have some fun
Before someone criticizes me, I have had various iterations of NEX, A7, RX100s. Just bought a A7iii this week (eek!). The only Sony that stayed with me all these years (and holding me back from a Q) is my RX1 mk1, still love the Zeiss 35/2 lens, silent shutter and 1/2000s flash sync.
Thanks Joe, unfortunately, the price of the M10 here is like the Blad X1D and I just can't stretch to that - now retired...wife in a great job but that makes me feel I cannot spend as I would like (even if my wife is super supportive etc).
I also shoot with 35mm and MF film cams and a Pentax K-1. That's a great cam, also using legacy glass (both Pentax and Leica R etc).
It is very interesting to see grain of the film shot at 1600 ISO and compare it with a 1600 ISO shot with the M10.
There we can see the sensor improvement in comparison to film. We should have this in mind when we complain about the high ISO performance of modern sensors.

Well, negative film always has a lot of grain, even the iso 100 emulsions. It’s just a different medium. I personally like the film like grain of the digital M bodies, though I haven’t used the M10 yet.
The metering on the R9 really is fantastic. I took this using the 'matrix' mode, and if I did the same with my Nikon F6 it would have completely underexposed the scene.
p.s. Werner welcome back to film! You've been missed!!!
