HK71

While I was making plans for investing on Leica M10, the new Leica 10M-P arrival seemed to be something I need to consider. If the prices were same, I definitely consider new -P version but I don’t think touchscreen and quite shutter is something I would be investing on. Even M bodies are very silent compared to most of the street cameras. With additional 700 Euros, I would rather investing on better lens than touch screen gimmicks. Even I do not mention red dot graphic games on body design.

Sometimes... Colors are much more appealing even I am keen on B&W street photography.

Dear Jochen; Since M8 has crop factor issue, you definetely can't guess exact frame when shooting. So you -sometimes- can not realize how much you approached to the main subject for critic shots. Secondly, as I mentioned earlier, I want to use higher shutter speed than general recommended values -since I want pin sharp images. To get that, -Since I hate noisy upgraded ISO pictures- I want to solve the light issue with lens, instead of ISO setting. Thanks for your comments by the way.

Dear Rajmohanfotograf; I am definitely not happy with 50mm on M8, since my focal length is really limiting me with quick shots, in which "there isn't a second chance" circumstances. Since frame lines marks very small portion of the frame on M8, I certainly need wider angle of view. But certainly it would be wider on a full frame M10 if you compare with M8 because of the crop factor. Because of this, I really consider 50 summilux also not to miss portrait shots. I prefer to upgrade Summarit to summilux because of my higher shutter speed requirement (I want pin sharp details), without increasing ISO even with far better higher ISO performance of M10 versus M8. With 35mm summicron -because of wider of angle advantage- I think speed will be secondary issue. So you see it is a hard decision for me since I will be investing only on one prime lens. :) Hakan Karademir
