So Jonathon it really looks like you are getting along nicely with the M 10. Are you still glad that you picked one up?

Allen, not only am I glad I picked one up, the simple act of picking it up and holding it continues to give me pleasure! My reasons for buying an M were threefold. I wanted a camera that would:
* be more difficult to use than my auto-everything Sony A7 series bodies (trusting that the M would have a sufficiently steep learning curve to keep me both challenged and engaged);
* force me to photograph in a slower, more considered, and contemplative manner; and
* encourage me to produce pictures that are markedly different from those I’ve been making over the past few years.
As regards those objectives, the M10-P has delivered in spades. So much so that, if I could only have one camera and one lens, I wouldn’t even hesitate before choosing the M10-P and the Summilux-M 50/1.4 ASPH.

I remember when I bought my MM in 2012 it was my first digital M and the experience for me was powerful. Maybe for different reasons than you. I never warmed up to the DSLR world. I went digital in 05 and went with Canon. On a trip to Key West in 2012 a really good friend let me borrow his M9 for that trip. I was hooked and then bought my MM.
For me and the way I work it is so intuitive. I have shot manually for 4 decades and for the type of work I do both personally and professionally Leica M is just a camera that gets out of the way and lets me create. Especially the M 10. For fast paced candid and street work there really is nothing better.
For me it is the MM or M10 and 35mm lens. (35 Lux FLE) 35 really matches the way I see and work. Finding equipment that matches the way you see and work is really the key, whatever that might be.

Almost the same. It would be the M10 and the Summarit 35mm/2.4. But many M cameras and many 35mm would do.
I've been using an M with the 35mm as a primary lens for more than 30 years now, bought the first one as soon as I started having a salary (and lucky me, in France, the state paid me to study).
And it is still what I like the most even if over the years, I've used and enjoyed plenty of other equipment.

My favorite camera would be an M-D M9, which was never produced. It would have combined the ergonomics and gestalt of the M-D with the CCD image quality of the M9. As it is, I seem to enjoy my M9 more than my M10...

I love the responsiveness and the high ISO of the M 10 but I still have both my origianl MM and my M-E. Still love the MM and can't seem to let go of my M-E. I still enjoy shooting with it.

What do you think a fair price difference would be to trade up to an M10 from an M240? Asking for a friend.

Glen I think the 240 is going for $2900-$3400 depending on condition and you can pick up a new M 10 at Popflash for a bit over $5600.

$2,500 difference seems to be the going rate around here.

Thanks Allen. I am good with a used M10 so I can maybe save some money that way.

What are used M 10s going for now? New at 5600 is kinda hard to beat. I bought my second M 10 body from popflash back in Nov for a couple hundred more and it was listed as used but it was new in the box with full warranty and no actuations. The box had never been opened. I guess there were a lot still around new in boxes when the M 10P was introduced so from what i usnderstand at that price popflash can only list them as used but they are new in the box never shot with full warranties.

I will advise my friend accordingly.
