I don't recall if I've already mentioned the Leica M-Looks Pro presets for Lightroom. For color images, I've been often using a VSCO preset as a starting point. I now find that the M-Looks presets give me a better starting point and usually produce better skin tones, and also require little or no use of the LR Structure slider. That is good because the Structure slider can easily result in "haloes". Someone told me that the M-Looks presets were originally made to give an M9-look to M240 images, although I don't know if that's true. In any case, they work well with M10 files.
The M-Looks presets work somewhat differently from VSCO presets, apply changes on top of the settings you've already made in LR; M-Looks reverts to the original DNG and applies it's changes to that. That means, for example, if you've already adjusted the White Balance, when you apply an M-Looks preset the WB revers to its As Shot setting.
For B&W, I've been using Silver Efex; but, now I find that I can get a look that is often as good as what I get with Silver Efex; not always, but better than I can do in just using LR with VSCO.
You can find these presets here: http://rawpresets.com/downloads/leica-m-looks-pro-bundle/
Actually, I've only been using two of the M-Looks presets: Real Film (Typ 4) and Real Film (Typ 5) B&W. The Real Film presets can be bought for $15, while the whole Leica M-Looks Pro package costs $40. But I don't recall whether the smaller Real Film package is sold on the rawpresets.com site or if you have to go to the original developer's site, whose name you can find on the rawpresets.com site.
If you try M-Looks please let me know what you think.

Haven't shot the DR Summicron much at f/2.0.
M10 | DR Summicron 50 | ISO 6400 | f/2.0 / 1/125 sec

While the M-Looks presets are nice, they really are intended to make non-Leica cameras have the Leica look. I used them with my Nikons.
The only presets I would recommentd are the Kodachrome presets by Gavin Gough. They work on the Grain, HSL, Sharpening, Tone Curve, Basic Settings, and the Camera Profile. What I do is tweak all of these after applying the preset. I have also made my own preset for the M10 and the M9 based upon those tweaks.

His guitar intro to the Eagles song, Hotel California, is a masterpiece.
Great shots, up close and personal.

Having purchased an M10-P seven weeks ago, I'm hardly eager to have a new M released any time soon. On the other hand, after years of (happily) using 43mp Sony A7 series cameras, a 47mp M would be more than welcome.
