Leica M10-R Digital Rangefinder Camera Silver Chrome Summary

The Leica M10-R Digital Rangefinder Camera in stylish silver chrome further cements Leica’s purist approach to photography with a number of significant upgrades over the M10-P. A brand new full-frame colour 40.89 megapixel CMOS sensor provides exquisite high resolution images with greatly improved dynamic range thanks to advanced Dual Gain sensor technology. The native ISO 100-50,000 delivers class-leading low light performance with clean images even when light is fading. The compact and lightweight body only weighs 660g and provides sensory feedback with new body haptics when immersed in the moment. Familiar dials and a three button layout allow photographers to concentrate on making images while having easy access to camera settings.

Endless versatility is possible thanks to an extensive range of high quality APO Leica M System lensestogether with famed Leica Rangefinder ergonomics. This ensures photographers across numerous genres will enjoy a lifetime of enjoyable service. A completely silent shutter together with high resolution touchscreen LCD allow photographers to capture stunning photographs discreetly for portraits, street or when making documentary images. The M10-R Rangefinder can be also controlled remotely with a smartphone and sharing work is simple with WiFi connectivity and seamless connection with Leica FOTOS.

Highlights:

Newly developed 40 megapixel sensor

• Enhanced compact M10 camera body design
• Sophisticated ergonomics and haptic feedback
• Silent shutter
• Class leading low light performance

Viewfinder:

Construction principle: Large, bright line frame viewfinder with automatic parallax compensation

Image field limiter: By activating two bright lines each: For 35 and 135mm, or for 28 and 90mm, or for 50 and 75mm; automatic switching when lens is attached.

Parallax compensation: The horizontal and vertical difference between the viewfinder and the lens is automatically compensated according to the relevant distance setting, i.e. the viewfinder bright-line automatically aligns with the subject detail recorded by the lens.

Matching viewfinder and actual image: At a range setting of 2m, the bright-line frame size corresponds exactly to the sensor size of approx. 23.9 x 35.8mm; at infinity setting, depending on the focal length, approx. 7.3% (28mm) to 18% (135mm) more is recorded by the sensor than indicated by the corresponding bright line frame and slightly less for shorter distance settings than 2m

Magnification: 0.73 x with all lenses

Displays

Split or superimposed image range finder shown as a bright field in the centre of the viewfinder image 50.6mm (mechanical measurement basis 69.31mm x viewfinder magnification 0.73x)
