Dan Tamarkin here from Tamarkin Camera
in downtown Chicago to tell you a little
bit about the latest Leica camera the
Leica M10. The Leica M10 is a 24 megapixel
rangefinder camera - latest development
from Leica. This camera is smaller than
previous models has a number of
different features that are specific
just the Leica rangefinder cameras
We're going to concentrate on what makes
this camera different from the previous
Leica models including the Leica M typ 240
The Leica m 10 is a thinner camera
smaller camera a little bit lighter
you can tell immediately when you put it in
your hand that it is a little bit thinner.
More simple in the back nearly
identical in the front it has the frame
line preview lever that was common on
previous models it has a familiar
fixture here but that's a little
different function this is your ISO dial
up to 50,000 IS0. Push to lock.
simple on/off switch you can set single and
consecutive in the menu. We have a
.73 viewfinder with a larger intake
window and slightly more powerful
viewfinder. Again, the real big difference
with this camera is that it's almost
identical to the size of a film M camera
so here we have a couple of M2's
from the 60s, as well as a currently
manufactured M7. You can see this baby
fits right in there with them - just about
exactly the same size. And as you might
expect from Leica Camera their
beautiful beautiful accessories to go
with, including an electronic viewfinder
if you like. Leica also has made a grip
for the camera like a lot of their other models.
It adds to the relief of the camera a little bit
but that's a very solid grip
combine that with a little thumbs up
device made by Leica - you've got a very
secure feeling camera set right there in
your hands.
however, if you like cases, Leica has
made beautiful camera protectors in
black and brown beautifully stitched and
in red and these can be converted to a
simple protector if you wish
so you don't have to have the back flap there.
Also, Leica has released a new
set diopters that are a little bit
larger than the previous one just in
case you want to use your previous
diopters on the new M10 there's a little
adapter set that will allow you to
convert the smaller diopter to the
Leica M10. There you have it
