[Leica] DXO Mark Leica M10 Score

[Ted Grant]

Hi Bob,
Well I dabbled with everything from SPEED GRAPHIC's to M8 and all kinds of
LEICA's between when I became a news photog for the "Ottawa Citizen" 17 Sept
1951. My first picture published and on the front page. 
These days? The remnants of my years and years of always working with 3
LEICA MOTOR-SLR's off shoulders and 3 M bodies hanging off my neck onto
chest. Not on every assignment, but most of the documentary assignments,
Hell of a sight! :-)
Today? I have only one M8! :-( to cover my "so called self assignment? "LIFE
in the PALACE!" :-)
The activities of near 200 senior citizens LIVING IN ''PALACE!" My
definition just for the fun of it! :-) No pressure, no wire-headed
"photo-editor" to deal with but me! One, M8, Noctilux f1.0 50mm. 35.mm,90mm
and it's fun time. :-) And I've learned how to change lenses very very
quickly! :-)
I think I should've kept one of my Motor LEICA SLR's. Actually no reason as
I said these are all folks 75 yrs. to 100 yrs! Trust me "NOBODY MOVES VERY
FAST." Besides I can change lenses faster than most can move? :-)
cheers,
ted

Cameras have different uses. For me the M's are very simple, have the
ability to see outside the frame, and give a unique look with the Leica
glass. I can see the difference in the Leica sensor that is "tuned" to the
glass. IMO it's a subtle but significant difference. I also have a Sony Ar7
ii with the sensor glass modified to give better results for Leica WA
lenses. For portable, landscape photography and Milky Way landscape (high
ISO ability), it is a top performer. But for "quick" shooting and simple
interface, the M's can't be beat. Nikons are also great performers, but
with the Sony I can use all my L glass.
Just my opinion. As Tina says, it's the results (and the photographer and
their preferences) that count. Not a lab test...
Best,
Bob
