I bought the M10, my first Leica, in December. over the following two months I purchased 5 Leica lenses. I'm still getting used to the manual focusing, but I love the image quality and simpler controls and shooting experience. I love it! After being a Canon SLR shooter since high school (45...

Luo, Thank you for your reply. I purchased my first Leica, the M10 in December. I have a few Leica primes to go with it. I'm getting the hang of manual focusing and the resulting image quality, processed in Capture One Pro 11, is fantastic. The Fuji XF primes and zooms for my XT2 and XPro2...

I have the 18-55 for sale. Regards, Bud James www.budjames.photography

To owners of the new Leica CL, I was wondering how fast the focusing is in poor light as the camera has only contrast focusing? I have Fuj-X XT2 and XPro2 and the focusing is very good under all lighting conditions, from my experience. Regards, Bud James www.budjames.photography

Yes. My four Leica lenses, Summicon 28, 35 and 75 and Summilux 50, are all brand new. Regards, Bud James www.budjames.photography

The new M10 stopped guessing f stops and puts "--" in the f stop metadata field. As a new comer to Leica, this was disappointing to not see the f stop value when editing images. Other than that, the IQ is really good. Regards, Bud James www.budjames.photography

More disappointments with my new Leica M10. I finally got my brand new Summilux 50mm and Summicron 35mm lenses back from the Leica repair center after they had them for about 6 weeks. The lens focus issues seem to be fixed and the image quality is now excellent with these two lenses. Now the...

I satisfied a lifelong desire to own a Leica M camera by purchasing an new M10 a month ago. With the camera, I purchased the Summilux 50mm f1.4 and Summicron 35mm f2 lenses. I shot Canon SLRs and Pro DSLRs for 40 years before switching to Fuji X cameras and Fuji lenses about four years ago. The...

Hi all. It arrived two weeks ago. I now officially checked off a box on my bucket list to own a Leica M before I go. I now have the M10 along with the very excellent Summilux 50mm, Summicron 35 and Summicron 28 (bought this one like new, but used from B&H Photo). Just getting started on...
