I kind of went through a similar journey. My first Leica has been an M8 and I would never sell it. I then bought an M10 for more flexibility in low light situations. I also love it and intend to keep it but I just realised that it is quite a different camera. The sensor is one reason. I love the zeiss 35 on the M10 because it helps to bring the sensor to live with its 3d rendering.
Your videos are such a pleasure to watch, and the images are incredible whichever camera you use. I shoot interiors but I never get close to those gorgeous warm tones you achieve. R’el adds such style and beauty to any scene. Keep up the amazing work 💜
Always putting the ILL in CHILL. Summary: I like my camera, now cue the bangers. Cheers to 6 months with it. As always, the photos you make with it are fantastic.
I just ordered an M10 and I’m so excited to try it out. I use film mostly for my personal work and wanted to try out a digital Leica since I primarily use rangefinders. Awesome photos and great video btw! Can’t wait to use the M10!
I am by no means a professional photographer. I’m merely a hobbyist that has been taking mediocre images for a long time and when I finally got a Leica M2 I fell in love with the Leica ecosystem but because of all the headaches and sunk costs in film, recently wanted to get a digital M to keep the rangefinder experience but avoid film. I was debating between a Leica m9 or m10. For sure the m10 has a lot of modern features that are incredible to have like a higher dynamic range and high iso performance and higher megapixel, but It was also double the price, and I realized that all the benefits that the M10 offers over the M9 are features that any other camera can also offer. Nothing about the M10 features are unique to the M10, but all of the M9 features are unique to the M9 like ccd sensor and the more film like body. And in the end I realized all I wanted was to have a digital rangefinder for normal everyday usage. I didn’t need to have a professional grade latest tech camera since I don’t work as a photographer and the M9 still offers pro quality images so it was a no brainer.
I've really enjoyed your work, sir, the videos but particularly the images you make. I was a longtime M8 shooter myself who eventually got hold of an M10 so I can understand your sentiments exactly.
The missing joy is not due to the CMOS V CCD sensor. It is more to do with overcoming the limitations of the camera. This challenge is what makes photography fun. This is why film has made a comeback, not because of the higher quality, but because of the challenges that it represents. The more basic the camera, the more fullfilling the experience. I have had the same experience recently when I went back to shooting my twenty year old Nikon D70 as against my D810. I get the same joy out of using my M240, because it is really a basic camera with a superb 24 MP sensor.
Tuff one there bro. Really comes down to what focal length you will use on the m10. If you’re just going to shoot 28 and 35 then q2 might be plenty. Manual focusing would be the only difference
Rewatching for the Lima M8 goodness. Super mate. M8.2 is gone off to wetzlar so I’ll let ya know!! Scored a magic deal on a demo m10-R. Still adjusting to it after 13 years of m8.2!!!
another set of banger shots! would love if you made a vid breaking down your thought process for compositions...and another one on metering end editing :)
Wow Marcus fantastic photos,Yes lov your way of introducing on UA-cam not having to ring that bell or something, I see all your videos and your work is really nice Not so much editing, Most people spend an whole day or more which is ok if you’re into that, But the images that came out of the m10 wow yes maybe wonder awhile M10 Leica q2 🤔🤔Stay safe and happy travels
Thanks so much Leonard! Both cameras will produce the same look just depends if you went autofocus or manual focus and rangefinder feel. I actually realized I need the rangefinder to feel more connected to my work. The Q is amazing and I will always have it but it’s just so easy
I've had my M10 for around the same time now. Been shooting an M3 for about 14 years and an MP for about two years. The addition of a digital M has been mostly smooth. The only thing I noticed: I cannot hand-hold slower shutter speeds with sharp results as consistently on the M10 compared to the MP and M3. I definitely need have the shutter speed at twice the inverse to the focal length I am using for sharp results. The shutter in the M10 seems to be introduce more shake than the MP and M3. That's my main gripe with the M10, but it's not a big deal given how clean high ISO looks on the M10 - I just crank up the ISO to compensate. The other issue I have is with the shutter speed dial - it turns without a hard stop and it's easy to loose track of what shutter speed you've set. The fonts on the dials wash out quickly, my copy is a well used M10 that saw lots of use. In lower light, I cannot make out the fonts on the ISO and shutter speed dials. I wish the shutter speed dial had a hard stop, not allowing 360 degree rotations. It's annoying AF having to look at it. Yes, I know, I can see the speed in the viewfinder - but I want haptic feedback - that's the whole reason I am sticking with the M in the first place.
@@MarcusLloyd go for it! CCD full frame sensor with better tech (better than corroded m9 sensor, m-e came after that). Also, had the m8 and m10 and i completely agree with your point. CCD just inspires.
Needed this video, I’m sitting on fence, got M8 love it, got Q2 love it, was thinking M10 for the exact same reasons you put out there. Sort of get a Q I can use my M lenses on, sort of thinking. Maybe, maybe not. I’m still thinking but I’m leaning towards doing it.
Great M10 shots. How much post did you use? Or did these shots require a lot of work in post? I find that a lot of my Leica shots require minimal post processing work.
…I’ve used Leica for years an year’s - but now I think it’s time for Leica to think again about their publicly. Instead of spending millions on these silly advertisements saying how great they are, maybe they should they should start to realise that most people in the Real world are well aware now that companies like Voighlander are regarded as far superior to Leica optics/build quality - Are far more affordable for better quality and value for money. Leica should take notice, or it will go out of business just saying …
Beautiful pictures. Great update on the M10. Thanks man. Looking forward to your UA-cam stuff coming in 2023. 👍
Thanks bro
You’ve got such a great eye. As an M10 shooter with a 35mm f2, your images really inspire me. Thanks you.
The m10 with 35f/2 combo is just too good bro.

Thanks so much! I will be sure to let her know the compliment
Thanks for sharing, Marcus. I really enjoyed this video, and your photos are great. I’m in the market for an M10, so I really enjoyed seeing them.
Always putting the ILL in CHILL. Summary: I like my camera, now cue the bangers. Cheers to 6 months with it. As always, the photos you make with it are fantastic.
Hahahaha bro you got me laughing so hard cause that’s literally what this video is
I just ordered an M10 and I’m so excited to try it out. I use film mostly for my personal work and wanted to try out a digital Leica since I primarily use rangefinders.
Awesome photos and great video btw! Can’t wait to use the M10!
Have fun!

Great video, Marcus. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the M10. Wonderful photos!
Damn bro amazing photos! you have a very nice editing style.
Thank you bro! Means a lot
You are great at this Marcus, please keep creating these videos!
Thank you bro! I will
Really nice shots and smooth delivery.

Great snaps! Thanks for sharing your passion for the Leica M10.
Thanks Dylan!
Sir, good work. Love your eye! Thank you.
Love it Marcus. Love my Q2 but the versatility of interchangeable lenses with the M10 has me thinking...
Tuff one there bro. Really comes down to what focal length you will use on the m10. If you’re just going to shoot 28 and 35 then q2 might be plenty. Manual focusing would be the only difference
@@MarcusLloyd thanks for the reply Marcus. Yeah, I think you're right. Just have to make peace with getting my 50mm fix in with a 35mm lens on the M8!
Great video my dude! Looking forward to 2023!
Thanks Leo! 2023 is going to be awesome!
You're really making this camera sing!
Thanks brother! Its been a fun ride ever since you shipped it
Beautiful vibe!
Rewatching for the Lima M8 goodness. Super mate. M8.2 is gone off to wetzlar so I’ll let ya know!! Scored a magic deal on a demo m10-R. Still adjusting to it after 13 years of m8.2!!!
Yea it may take some time to get used to the different look but you have a lot more flexibility now
Let's go, I love the chill vibes.
Thanks for tuning in.
another set of banger shots! would love if you made a vid breaking down your thought process for compositions...and another one on metering end editing :)
I will be sure to make it happen bro
Great exposure on all those photos!
🙏🏾
man youre so talented
Thank you fam

Can i just ask u what lens u have on your m8 thank u
really nice shots
I love all your videos so much!
I really appreciate that. Thanks for always tuning in
I’m going to buy the m10-p or the m11 this year.
great work!! thanks for posting to us!!
More to come
@@MarcusLloyd looking forward to it!!

Thanks Paul
I realize this is an old video, but nice images. What kind of PP do you do? I broke down and have a M10 coming Thursday to join my M4.
Lovely images, what focal lengths do you use ?
Get the Leica M-E typ220. Thats like your m8 and m10 mate and had a baby :)
Yooooooo Ima check it out

If you want the m experience with the Q2 look then go for it but I would honestly rock with those two for now and see how you feel
May I know what’s the lens hood you paired with the Biogon? Looking amazing😉
Great photos. As usual.
I have the same combo (m10 & m8) and I have the same hesitation what to shoot with 😅
Make Presets for sale!
Lol I’m thinking on it bro
Great M10 shots. How much post did you use? Or did these shots require a lot of work in post? I find that a lot of my Leica shots require minimal post processing work.
Hey Tami, very minimal editing. That’s always kinda been my thing. I just want to enhance the colors that are naturally there
awesome!
awesome work as always man! curious, what is your primary lens on the M10?
Honestly it’s the zeiss 35mm biogon
@@MarcusLloyd nice, thanks for info yo! Can't beat a great 35
I don't know, but something is missing with M8...
The m8 is just special bro

It’s one of those things that I think voigtlander and zeiss will just continue to carve out their niche market with being affordable
