[Leica] How many people have/will buy M10/M10M?

[John McMaster]

Would be well ahead of its time, a 42MP sensor in 2006 ;-)  That was 6 years before the Monochrom appeared, many said at the time that they saw no purpose to it...

Thanks for the review. The M10M is what Leica should have made in the first
