So far, I am very impressed with the image stabilization in the Leica Q2. I have every confidence in the world that I can handhold this camera down to ⅛ of a second (maybe more) and get sharp images with relative ease. I don’t recall being able to do that with my Sony!

I've posted a color picture previously of these three tourists posing for a selfie taken by a smartphone with a delayed shutter setting, mounted on a small tripod. Here, I was speaking to them, saying I was taking unposed pictures when I got a thumbs up, a V-sign, and the flashing of my name card.

Shot two HP5+ 400 films pushed to ISO 800 on Saturday and developed shortly after my trip with Xtol (1:1) and scanned the negatives.

Congratulations! I’m sure I’m not alone in looking forward to seeing some M10M pictures...

It's been a while since I've had anything to share. I still haven't been shooting as much as I would like but I found myself still very much drawn to the analog process. I've been slow to process and scan my film, but I always enjoy it when I finally get around to it.
Career-wise, photography is not something that brings in primary income any longer and it hasn't for a number of years now, my role has over time transitioned to that of a Designer (I may or may not have mentioned this somewhere in the log of this thread, sorry if I'm repeating!). So while it may not be what I need to do for work, it is still an important part of my "toolkit" as a designer and it is also still a hugely important part of my life that I refuse to let go of.
As such I decided to sell the majority of my Leica equipment as it was not as flexible as I would like to generate the kind of image assets I need within my actual work (when those needs arise). I like to maintain my own kit to work with even though most companies I've worked at have their own photo-gear on site that I could use. It's just a personal decision.
At the moment I'm trying out a Hasselblad X1D with a few lenses (30,45,90) to see if that suits what I was looking for, but the jury's still out.
Just in case you're worried I abandoned Leica entirely, let me assure you that I kept what, to me, was the most viable setup. My M-A and 35mm Summicron ASPH. I've bounced around between WAY too many lenses in my time with Leica but that's one setup that has always worked for me. Since my personal work (whenever I do shoot) is all on film and then scanned by me at home, I like having a very simple, uncomplicated setup. It's just that one body and lens or my 500CM and 80mm. Nice and easy.
Who knows, I may be back to Leica digital in the future, but I am happy with just my trusty M-A and one 35mm lens. Thanks for letting me always just vent my mind in this thread.

burningheart - Same here. I love the images you've been posting lately, particularly the forest image in p.272 #15, the one you took with the IIIc on Ilford PanF. I'll be interested in what you find the M10M is he best for, perhaps for landscapes or dark portraits?
I've tried DNGs some people made available for download on the LUF, and concluded (very preliminarily and perhaps incorrectly) that there is a relatively narrow range of image type that the camera is best for, and that may not be necessarily be high ISO images at night, as Gregory Simpson writes in his review. Clearly, the M10M needs adapting, seeing how many of the images shown on the web have such a muddy tonal palette, including those in the Simpson review. Fortunately, there are some better ones starting to come out. I think Leica could have done a better marketing job with the sample images they've provided. You clearly know a lot about what a good B&W image is, and I look forward to seeing your result and reading your comments and advice.
At this stage, the feeling I have of what I want to do with my B&W photography now is to continue with the M10, because that gives me the great flexibility of using color sliders in Lightroom rather than glass filters, particularly as I generally go for high contrast and may be heading for still more high contrast. Of course, learning more about the M10M may change my mind about getting it, particularly as I'm starting on the next book project for which I may limit myself to B&W, although I've also been thinking of having both B&W and color in the next book.

That would be retrofocus who took the film shots you are referring to.

I tend to shoot mostly scenic/nature, architecture, night, historical buildings, and wildlife (usually at the zoo). Not much of a portrait or people photographer. Some of the things I want to test are Infrared and Ultraviolet. I know that both my M243 and M246 can do this. Test long exposure (with 16 stop filter attached) hopefully I get some days with clouds moving, unless I find some moving water but wrong time of the year to find waterfalls not frozen over. I also want to check out ISO 20,000 to 50,000 based on David Farkas' shots at those ISOs.
With the M243 and M246 I usually do some adjustment on the curves, shadows and I expect it will be the same with the M10M. I use Capture One for post but until I take a few shots I do not know if it will read the files. The M10M is not officially supported at this time, but given they are DNG files it made read them.
The postive side the camera came today, the downside the last week of the month I am busy with preparing music to play at the hospital with my Dad. We play once a month for the patients, thus spare time this week is dedicated to music. Maybe I will get a chance to sneak a little photography in, now that the batteries are charged.
