Thanks and yes I agree. I think that Leica M is the perfect tool for that kind of candid work. Nothing is faster, more discrete or more suited for it.

If anyone had asked me a week ago what was the likelihood of my posting a picture in the Leica M/X/T/S/Q Picture Thread, I'd have confidently answered: "Either Buckley's or none", an Australian idiom which means either a very small chance or (more likely) no chance at all. Yet here we go...

Nope. I was going to follow your advice and get an M 10 but then the assistant manager at the Leica Store upsold me to an M 10-P.

Congratulation for M10P. It will be my next M camera
I'd say M10P's quietness and compactness are two most important features for me over MP240. You just got yourself best street tool.

Congratulations and a great first posted photo!
I never gelled with my M240, and I still miss my M9. The M10 looks great.

Thanks, everyone, for your warm, generous welcome. I joined FredMiranda.com at the beginning of 2008. I don't recall what brought me here but all my attention was focused on the Alt forum, which in those days was mostly the "Canon bodies with interesting lenses" forum until it morphed into the "Sony A7* bodies with interesting lenses" forum. When Fred created a dedicated Sony forum I continued to follow what was happening in the Alt forum. In buying a Leica and hoping to become a regular contributor to this thread, I feel like I'm returning home.

The guy was a consummate salesman: no pressure whatsoever because he knew from the moment I walked in the door that I was a serious buyer. There are only two stores in Sydney that offer the Leica system: the official Leica Store and a conventional camera store where Leica is just one of many brands on offer. I was happy to pay a little more at the Leica Store in order to spend a couple of hours being sure I was making the best choice for my intended use. I'd settled on the M10 when he said: "I'd like to show you something." The something was the Leica M10-P's quiet shutter. Game over.
After my first outing with it yesterday, I would have said that I like it very much. After my second outing today, I'll say without reservation that I love it. Clearly the M10-P is radically different from the M2 I owned many years ago but, in all the important ways, it feels and works exactly the same. I was able to set up the M10-P to my satisfaction in less than an hour. At the risk of making a fool of myself, I'd say that the Leica M and the Hasselblad 500 C/M are the only two cameras I've used that I feel have a soul. Every other camera I've used--from my first serious camera, a Nikkormat FTn, to the Sony A7RIII--has been a competent, soulless picture-making machine. Only the Leica and the Hasselblad have sparked joy every time I pick them up.
Now, the two questions uppermost in my mind are:
* Should I register my Zeiss, Konica, and Voigtlander lenses as their "equivalent" Leica lenses (as described in this Leica Lens Codes blog post)? This will allow me to easily identify the lenses I've used from the EXIF but will also embed the lens corrections in the DNG. Am I better off doing those corrections manually in Lightroom?
* Having become accustomed to being able to move the MF focus box around the frame with Sony mirrorless cameras, what is the best way to work within the limitations of the rangefinder patch fixed in the center of the viewfinder? The "focus and recompose" articles and blog posts I've read haven't been at all helpful.

Thank you! I'd say that my next M camera will be a Monochrom model based on the M10-P's sensor, viewfinder, and shutter. I'm not holding my breath though. In the meantime I intend to sell off a bunch of gear in order to fund the purchase of a 50 APO.

Thank you!. The M10-P is pretty good, but you're getting superb results with the M8.2 and the Contax G 21/2.8 and Jupiter-12 35/2.8 Biogons.

It depends. I used to code them manually because I do not want to enter a menu each time I change a lens.
Now, the only non-Leica lens I have is the Voigt 15mm/4.5 and I do nothing as the results are ok.
The previous version had a more vignetting and magenta cast so I was correcting in post-processing (in CaptureOne but this is the same as Lightroom).

I focus in the center and recompose most of the time. If I know that the depth of field is so small that it would be a problem, I recompose by moving my upper body instead of simply rotating my head.
But in such cases, I tend to use the external EVF nowadays.

Genji,
It will be interesting to see how you adapt. It seems from the Sony forum that you almost exclusively "shoot from the hip". This can be done with a Leica if you zone focus and stop down a bit. Works great with a 28mm lens, but not so well with a 50, which you seem to favor. Good luck!
