Beautiful camera. But what is the significance to "black paint" compared to the regular black M10-R ?
It "brass" nicely as they did in M9/M9P and M240/M240P/MD262, and many of their film cameras. I personally don't find brassing desirable as they are literally scratches or blemishes to me. But it it's a well used and brassed at a great price, I wouldn't mind.
The feeling of handling a black painted M is pretty different than chrome - more grippy, less metallic look to them, and looked nicer in person.
Funnily, Fred beat LUF forum to start a thread! Also can't imagine how much premium we need to pay over the regular version...
Black Paint...So this is what cases the brass'ing I've read about. Got it. Thank you.
