[Leica] M10 Rumors..

[Ted Grant]

 Hi CREW,
Well I must say I have always been a fan of LEICA! 
There isn't any question the Leica camera and lenses in whatever version as
my working tools, helped give me the ability to capture the hundreds of
thousands of photos I was fortunate to do so! With an odd winner thrown in
by "good luck!" :-) 
How about 50 plus years or more with a half dozen bodies, "3 M's and 3 motor
SLRS" in use most of that time! Lugging them about the world on "working
assignments" of all kinds! And several award winning medical books.
No not on happy holidays. But real paid work where you were expected to
bring or send home the magic of your "sight (even though only one eye) and
the quickness of your shutter finger!"
LEICA Service was impeccable! Always through the Toronto, Canada office and
service dept! Not that I required much, only on occasion. But they were
great & quick! Some times on 24 hr replacement! :-) Aw those were the days!
:-)  
So when I make negative comments about Leica and the service today? I make
them due to years of experience, in some cases before some of you were born!
Well a couple of you anyway?  ;-)
Oh I dabbled with Nikon & Canons, but really more as "playtime." 
But then I go back to the professional news days of lugging around a monster
Speed Graphic 24 hours a day with a big flash bulb and reflector! Eventually
a big "strobe flash!"  :-( 
But when I became an independent photo operation, (my own company) I went
all Leica, eventually to using the 6 cameras at a time on occasion. It
depended on subject and assignment?
Why all this? I don't know, maybe a slightly different perspective when one
could buy a Leica without selling your home and service was impeccable!! :-(
Compared to today?
cheers,
Dr. Ted Grant O. C.

I'm still all Leica and will be until I can't press the button anymore.
Leica lenses and cameras are still the best available equipment for the
kind of photography I like to do.  I've tried Canon and Fuji and hate
both.  I still get great service from Leica in New Jersey but I always let
them know how much I appreciate everything they do for me.  I'm hard on
equipment and they fix my mistakes and make sure I'm never without my
favorite cameras.

Fangirl,

Tina
