And indeed as a rangefinder camera, it’s far from universally appealing. Which likely sounds like a slightly daft attitude to have toward a camera that is singularly worth more than the sum total of most (if not all) of my other cameras combined…? I’m also aware that it’s not entirely without flaw. And for that alone, I see it as only a little less than a complete success as a camera.ĭespite this – in fact probably because of this – I actually don’t use it all that extensively. But none of this is because it’s the most technologically advanced camera I own – instead it’s because it feels like it’s the most well refined as a concept.

This isn’t the most complimentary sounding comment I don’t think, but actually it comes from a place of feeling really very satisfied with it as a camera.įor a specific set of my needs, the Leica M10-P does exactly what it’s supposed to and does so in a way that I needn’t put a second of thought into how I use it and what I use it for.
LEICA M10 PROFESSIONAL
This has led him to being a go-to expert for camera and lens reviews, photographic and lighting tutorials, as well as industry analysis, news and rumors for publications such as Digital Camera Magazine, PhotoPlus: The Canon Magazine, N-Phot0: The Nikon Magazine, Digital Photographer and Professional Imagemaker, as well as hosting workshops and demonstrations at The Photography Show. An Olympus and Canon shooter, he has a wealth of knowledge on cameras of all makes – and a fondness for vintage lenses and instant cameras.When I first got my Leica M10-P I referred to it as being brilliantly underwhelming. In this time he shot for clients as diverse as Aston Martin Racing, Elinchrom and L'Oréal, in addition to shooting campaigns and product testing for Olympus, and providing training for professionals.

LEICA M10 REGISTRATION
Still, we've yet to receive a true follow-up to the now four-year-old Leica M10 camera – though the latest leaked information reveals that Leica has registered a new camera, model 2416, which looks to be the M11.Īccording to a registration with the Korean certification office, as spotted by reliable leaker Nokishita, the camera will accept a brand new battery (BP-SCL7, which interestingly seems to be manufactured by Fujifilm). Since then it has been followed by a number of new versions, from the black-and-white only 40MP Leica M10 Monochrom to the high-resolution, 40.9MP Leica M10-R both released last year.Īnd it goes without saying that there have also been Leica's usual volley of special edition M10s, such as the Leica M10-P with the quietest mechanical shutter on the market, the Leica M10-D with no rear LCD screen, and the bullet-proof Leica M10-P Reporter (with Kevlar armor). The Leica M11 would, of course, be the successor to the 24MP Leica M10, which was released way back in January 2017. ORIGINAL STORY (): Details have leaked about the rumored Leica M11, said to be coming on 11 November and featuring a 50MP sensor with variable resolution. Sadly, things look like they're going to get worse before they get better… The component shortage has affected virtually every manufacturer of late, including everyone from Canon and Nikon to Ricoh and Laowa. "The new release date is now rumored to be at the beginning of 2022."

"I received several reports that the rumored Leica M11 camera launch date could be pushed back because of the current global parts shortage and shipping crisis," reports Leica Rumors. The Leica M11 is rumored to feature a new 50MP sensor with variable resolution – and it's new components like this that could account for the potential delay until next year, as it appears that Leica is struggling with the same component crisis as most other manufacturers.
