Bob Newman examines the subtle changes brought by the M10 – the latest Leica launch
I find the latest camera from Leica – the M10 – interesting for a number of reasons, starting with its name. Back in 2012, Leica announced it was ending the numbering of its M-series cameras (and in fact all its cameras). Henceforth, they would be known as ‘Leica M’ – although since it is clearly necessary to distinguish different types of M camera, the company adopted a different numbering system. The full name of the new ‘M’ was ‘M (Typ 240)’. There followed some variants, the ‘M (Typ 246)’ with a monochrome sensor and the ‘M (Typ 262)’. The ‘Typ 262’ was notable for what it didn’t have. It no longer had video capability, nor did it allow live view on the rear screen.
