I'm now lusting hard over the leica m 10-D. i can't find one anywhere on line. do you know where i may be able to find one? also how in love with the m10- D now/
I started with a M6, sold for a M8, sold for a M240 and again for the mighty M10-D. With every digital camera I missed the feeling of the M6, but not the hustle of film development. The M10-D has the potential to be the camera to stand the time. I combined with the Leica Summilux 50 black chromed. A dream combo 🥰
Hi, I got two little kids now, so my photography went from travel/hiking/city to jumping kids which is not quite easy to manually focus on at 1.4. But if you hit that focus it's magical to capture the moment. So, I still think the M10-D is the pinnacle of M cameras with no distractions and I would always get one again. The feeling of an analog M and the advantages of a digital workflow are on point. How about you?
@@ronaldpiecek3535 oh nice! A Q would make a killer pair with what you already have and for your purposes too. I have a MP. I’ve had a M10 monochrom in the past, but decided to just shoot black and white film and sold it. I’m kind of thinking about grabbing a M10-D or P, but I don’t know if it would be a waste… it’s just hard to not choose the MP over anything else
It’s a nice compromise between digital and film. You get the anticipation of not knowing if you nailed the shot, but without wasting time and money on film and processing. Cool idea
The problem I have with this approach is that at the price point of that camera, it would be cheaper to just shoot film. This is a digital camera really trying to go for the film experience, even having a fake film advance. It's something that's not really Leica I feel, Leica is something precise and carefully engineered with no fluff. Then again, everyone has a different opinion and there are people who really appreciate the digital files with a more analogue body. You summarized it really well at 8:45, it's a camera with a really specific purpose and some will love it.
It would take like approx 180 rolls to break even (film + dev / scan). I shoot a lot throughout a year so it makes a lot of sense for me. You make good points tho!
You are spot on in regards to looking at the LCD, I have the MD 262 (Previous model to the M10D) and I just shoot and not worry but if I am shooting my M264 Monochrom that has the LCD screen I am always tempted to check. So I think the ultimate will be a Leica Monochrom with no LCD screen.
I have lusted after one of these D cameras for a while... To me it simplifies everything and forces one to compose on the spot and not be always checking. I am old enough to have learned and taught film photography and found carrying a main frame computer around killed my ability to see. So what to do... can not afford an M10 but hey I bought a used M9 with a replaced sensor.. The dis/advantage of an M9 is that the screen sucks. Fantastic.. Setup with DNG and JPG to display B&W. If I want to check focus or comp later in a coffee shop I can press the Play button and see a tiny low res rep of what I took. Theres no way to chimp with an M9 so that shuts you down. Plus the speed is slow. Like re cocking a film camera. Only down is the super loud shutter... But thats old school too.. I import my images in LR uncheck all the JPGS as I only have them for that coffee break. Then Select all and creat virtual copies to which I apply Adobe Monochrome preset as a starting point. And oh boy thoe M9 DNG files.. Yummy... So to sum up.. Very jealous Grrrr.. but have found a less expensive way to experience the photo process with great results... Great video.. keep it going...
I own the m10d with a 35mm summilux and Voigtlander 50mm 1.2. I love it. I love everything about it. I will only sell it for an m11d if that will ever come out.
I'd love one of these...also I know people make fun of the fake advance lever, but honestly, I like that idea. That's one thing I miss about shooting digital. With film cameras I hook my thumb behind the lever and it feels way more secure. This is with my film Nikons as well as my film Leicas. When i'm using the X-Pro2 or X100 it feels too "loose". It would be cool if it was functional and would reset the shutter though.
I have this camera. I love it. The thumb grip thing is lovely. And I like shooting and then hitting a bar or cafe and uploading the images. The camera won’t wreck your shooting sessions because you aren’t aware of the mistakes until later. 🙂
@@jimmason8502 yes but it doesn’t spoil the actual ‘in the now’ experience. You just feel bad after. :) Seriously, it makes you think about your settings. Like the old days of film.
I totally agree with you on one point the pineapple doesn't belong on the pizza. Joking aside, the beautiful camera certainly brings the photographer closer to the true essence of photography, setting the parameters, composing and shooting. How I started with my grandfather's Zeis-icon Contina. But if you want to be completely consistent you shouldn't retouch the photos in post-production.
@Chris Chu, as a previous owner of an X-Pro3, I can say that it’s riddled with electronic problems. That rear LCD is known for having the cable detach partially from the Motherboard on the camera (I thought I was the only one with an F’d up screen) and the shutter button sometimes gets “sticky”. It’s honestly pretty sad because I absolutely love the design aesthetic of the camera, the titanium body, etc, but they put low grade components in it and so it certainly is no M10-D. It was so bad, after the second time I sent my camera in under warranty, Fuji just sent me a brand new Pro3 in the box. Couldn’t look at it the same after that and sold it to fund a Leica MP (film).
@@whoschrischu Haha ya the MP more than makes up for it! But ya man... I think it might have been why I shied away from more digital cameras and switched to film. In the year I owned that Pro3, 1/4 of the year it was with Fuji, much of it being during those summer months that are so valuable up here in Raincouve.. I mean, Vancouver.
I know this camera is suppose to replicate the feeling of shooting film. If anything, I believe the Monochrome series is the closest thing to accomplish that. In the beginning of analog photography, black and white film was the only thing avaliable. The black and white workflow will force you to think differently and even the sensor is designed from the ground up for it instead of just slapping on a filter through a digital camera/lightroom.
This M10-D which I own too is truly a classic. I usually use it with my 24 mm Summilux for street photography. I totally agree that M is not for shooting moving subjects.
@@Irnbruist Yes, very correct. However, that was before the development of the autofocus technology. Unfortunately for me, the kids and pets have no patience for my M unless I use zone focusing under the appropriate conditions.
Find this all a bit funny. I shoot an M Type 262 with screen on back. I just turn it off and never bother to look at it. What I like about having the screen is the ease of dealing with the menu, doing upgrades to firmware, and did I mention dealing with the menu? I'd much rather have the screen and not use it most of the time than to not have it. Also there are times when I only want to shoot jpegs, can't do that with any of the D models. Then again, to each their own. Enjoy.
Boy did not realize this was coming out and bought the M10-P, 2 weeks before :-( Was an ebay purchase, so no return from the seller, plus I preferred a silver body to a black one so my thoughts faded from the M10-D but If I could go back, I would get this over my silver M10-P. In 2018, on ebay, a seller had these new for $6K, it was a legit grey market seller. That price was pretty tempting.......Fast forward 2019, I got myself a lightly used M edition 60 kit for the lens alone and am very happy with the camera. So at least I have an M-D body that I can use when i want to. I wish Leica would release an M-D version in the future. The M10-D feels great in the hands with the thumb rest/fake advance lever but wish the ISO dial was at the rear then onto and the EV be ontop. I know Leica knows this but I think it would have been too costly for them to reinvent one. In the future I hope Leica does one proper. Now Leica prices have gone quite high, have to think many times before buying anything Leica now, especially if I am chucking out a few grand!...........Great vid and love your guys style. very nice! Love the vintage style camera straps, really goes well with the rangefinders!
This is more of a trend with camera manufacturers now. Since film is really becoming popular again they are attempting to capture that market. However... Film simulations and removing features from cameras is not the way to go. Would a screen break in 10-20 years? Yes. But the point of electronics is to not use the same thing for 10-20 years.
This camera came out in 2018, and they made a similar design model for a camera that came earlier than that. Leica is pretty focused on making their products minimalist and this is probably the biggest thing that any camera company can do. Nikon made the Df like back in 2013 to emulate the film cameras they used to sell, and that was before the film hype. Same with Fujifilm
@@whoschrischu Its more of a concept than actual camera camera. Like you said +- 2000 made. I get the idea of not looking at your photos for every picture with film. I love my Mamiya C330, However when you need to get the shot either for you or a client, the advantages of digital and previewing on site is incomparable. Forcing people into a "habit" change does not make them better photographers. Neither does looking at the screen, but having the option vs not having it in a world where its standard is an extreme disadvantage. The "take less, not more" philosophy can be accomplished without crippling a feature in the long run is what I am saying. Either way its a great camera, but the reasons for removing the screen are weak. "This is how it was on the M6 30 years ago so it should be like this now" nah.
@@ReclusiveEagle tbh Leica is way overrated. Leicas back in the 1930s was all about quality, technology, etc, the same with Zeiss and Voigtländer. The problem with those 3 brands is that after the war they didn't changed their models, technology, and types of camera they made. If you check zeiss they stick to making bellow cameras, Leica stick to RF, voigtlander stick to bellow+ rangefinder. All 3 cameras were early doomed after the war and had to increase the price of their cameras to compensate the lower sales and it's way over documented. Zeiss and Voigtländer weren't able to survive the crisis, while Leica found their sweet spot with "rich" people who got them mostly because of the look and the name being considered a luxury back then.
Even though I would NEVER, NEVER, NEVER spend that much money on a camera whose feature is the absence of features (I hope), I totally get the appeal. I try to get a similar experience with my A7C where I try and leave the flip screen closed. But doing street photography, nothing is as freeing as using my film SLR. I CAN’T tell whether I’m getting the exposure right, so there’s no point in worrying about it. That’s freedom right there.
I’m just here for the Kayleeohiko drip at 4:40 ! Three cameras (or was she holding someone else’s up for the photo?) what are they? Why several (colour black and white, digital?) and also a fire outfit. Bravo! … (Oh yeah, great video Chris!)
I understand going minimalist. But I would still want a histogram, so I would not need a light meter. Personally, once I start shooting, as long as lighting does not change, I am oblivious to the LCD. Perhaps it’s because I grew with film. And I do leave my cell phone at home.
I'd love to have that baby, but i really can't afford 8K. Because the Leica M-D and M10-D are ideal, without an annoying (for myself) LCD, which brakes the body design language. Since i don't chimp with the LCD, it's useless. But since i am not Richy Rich, i am using my Film SLR, Rangefinders, and digital, Fujifilm Gear...which gives nice results.
Big fail in the video: it’s the Marin County Civic Center, in San Rafael. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Some context won’t take away from rest of the “content.”
6:28 Hence why I don’t spend 8k on a leica camera. Fuji has s great dr400 mode where you shoot at iso 640 and the camera handles hilight retention. and exposure automatically
I’m not hating, I’m not but your reasoning for it being distracting to use a digital camera. There’s this thing called raw so perfect exposure can be done in editing and your gonna editing your photos anyways so…
I'm part of a Facebook group called Leica Classifieds. There's a really well-known member in there who's close to a longtime designer at Leica, and he heard first-hand that only 2000 units were made
@@whoschrischu I'm in there too.did he share publicly? can i look him up? pretty cool and news to me! i have an m10-d myself, almost let go of it. have been glad i didn't lately
i just got the leica M9 and the screen is so shitty in the back that i never want to look at the screen haha but i treat it like a film camera so it works out and same i dont want to waste 35mm film everyday on just snap shots so this will be my carry around from now on since it still works the exact same as any mechanical film leica while my M3 will be used for more intential stuff no more wasting film shots on street photography XD
In the end of the day it is the photos that matters - not so much the camera - get the original Leica SL 601 insted - more affordable - allready an icon in its own - get some Sigma lenses and you are good to go - you get super pictures - Great user experiance and warm Leica colors - Regards from Copenhagen 😎📸-

Secondly this fucking colors my dude, holy shit 👌🏽✨
DEM COLORS WERE JUICY
Everything looks nice with this camera

Hence why I don’t spend 8k on a leica camera.
Fuji has s great dr400 mode where you shoot at iso 640 and the camera handles hilight retention. and exposure automatically
well i'm certainly glad i chose the xpro3. i can adapt contax g lenses. so i'm content.
Dude, do you have a set of Lightroom presets? These M10-D photos are stunning.
The endings very controversial of you chris but i agree 😂 love your content and can't wait to see more 😃
I don't see the controversy :)
The Leica M-series is excellent for portraits, when you know how to use this camera system.
They can keep it for that price. Leica's are way over rated.
truuuuuuuuu
8G's for a fake advance lever? That's alot of pineapples for my pizza. Nice video though
I’m not hating, I’m not but your reasoning for it being distracting to use a digital camera. There’s this thing called raw so perfect exposure can be done in editing and your gonna editing your photos anyways so…
I honestly can't tell if that building was built 60 years ago or 1 year ago ? 😅
Honestly I’ll just stick with my X100V and Leica M6 cause this is just ridiculous
Hey Chris is Fujifilm xt200 a great camera for a beginner streetphotographer ?
Almost got unsubbed for that last pineapple jab at the end but you’ll get a pass for this one
I want all the smoke
Cheaper alternatives. Just flip the display if it does that. My canon 60d for example
Where did you hear they only made 2k of these???
I'm part of a Facebook group called Leica Classifieds. There's a really well-known member in there who's close to a longtime designer at Leica, and he heard first-hand that only 2000 units were made
@@whoschrischu I'm in there too.did he share publicly? can i look him up? pretty cool and news to me! i have an m10-d myself, almost let go of it. have been glad i didn't lately
@@Dannnnnnnnnyy Total BS. There were more than 5000 made.
dont really get this camera to be honest and its way to expensive for what it is
i just got the leica M9 and the screen is so shitty in the back that i never want to look at the screen haha but i treat it like a film camera so it works out and same i dont want to waste 35mm film everyday on just snap shots so this will be my carry around from now on since it still works the exact same as any mechanical film leica while my M3 will be used for more intential stuff no more wasting film shots on street photography XD
You cant find these anywhere
The fake rewind lever is the last nail in the coffin.
Yeah I’m sticking with Epson rd1 for awhile.
The RD1 is so interesting. Would love to get my hands on one one day
Yesss bro! Might have to buy Jacky's M10-D off him now. 😂💀
GET 'EM!
I have leica MD 262 digital
If somebody has this camera and wants to sell it, please contact me! I wanna buy it but can’t find where…it is my ONE big dream CAMERA!

*hops on eBay + Leica Classifieds*
do it benj do it
Nice, I'll just use my Sony A200 with its broken LCD
Where is this place?
I want that camera but I also want a Hawaïian pizza.
Sorry, there is a display, you can use your smartphone as a livemode screen
Just because you can ad a display doesn't mean it has one
Cool
joking ? no screen ? why dont u choose a film camera ?
M3 for life.
so cool
you're so cool
Have you heard of the r-d1? That's the grandfather of digital camera disguised as analog
Epson R-D1 was a Voigtlander Bessa body
@@ofeykalakar1 yes I'm saying for digital, it was the first rangefinder style focusing
SURE
TH-cam and Leica makes a great combination LOL
"Im done" got me to sub :)
In the end of the day it is the photos that matters - not so much the camera - get the original Leica SL 601 insted - more affordable - allready an icon in its own - get some Sigma lenses and you are good to go - you get super pictures - Great user experiance and warm Leica colors - Regards from Copenhagen 😎📸-
combating film prices .... buys $8k camera . Yes that will work nicely .

HI, where to order M10-D?
it's discontinued. you have to find it 2nd hand online
Let me know if you want to trade for a MP. I miss my M10-D
Sheeesh! Although enticing, I’m good :)
Looks sick but the fake winder is sooo wierd
at leeaaaaaast make it wind all the way and make it sound/feel the same as the film M bodies!
$100.000 car with NO WINDOWS - a Review.
Yo this car has a motor, it's like 3 years old but it still hold up.
Where does this end?
Oh god … if I saw that Leica patrol on the street… run ….
How do you roll your beanie like that?

You think 70 is warm? You should visit Puerto Rico 😂
