Leica M10

With This Expanded Guide: Leica M10, the intricacies of Leica's state-of-the-art camera are fully explored, giving the reader a clear insight into precisely what the camera is capable of.
If there is one name that is synonymous with the “ultimate” photographic experience, it is Leica. By the far the most popular range in the Leica line-up is the company’s iconic M-series, which has a history stretching back to the Leica M3 of 1954. Since then, the high-end 35mm M-series rangefinders have been joined by digital equivalents that share the same fundamental standards of superlative build and image quality. The latest model to join Leica’s digital elite is the M10. While this is not Leica’s first digital rangefinder camera—or indeed its first full-frame digital camera—it is the first of its type to combine the true aesthetics and ergonomics of a traditional analog Leica M model with a high-resolution digital sensor. More than any other digital M model, the M10 is designed to turn the head of even the most die-hard analog-M user, and encourage them to make the transition to digital photography. This superbly engineered camera is also certain to appeal to the many digital-M users looking to upgrade, as well as the rather more elite group of loyal fans who invest heavily in the Leica brand to ensure they always have “the best of the best.” Like any high-end digital camera, you need to appreciate the M10’s nuances to truly explore its capabilities. From setting up the camera, to delving into the deepest menu options, this book walks you step-by-step through all aspects of the M10. Regardless of whether you’re a seasoned Leica shooter or an M-series newcomer, you are guaranteed to extract the best from the latest in the legendary range.
