  • Check out our preview of the M10-D on Red Dot Forum here: Leica M10-D Released

    Leica Camera is pleased to announce the latest addition to the Leica M family, the Leica M10-D. The new Leica M10-D continues the philosophy that began with the Leica M-D (Typ 262) of using a digital camera with no rear display. The concept is based around the idea of using a camera completely free from distractions, allowing the user to fully focus on their subjects and the core photographic settings at hand.

    With no menu or playback on the camera, users can simply focus on the moment and enjoy a classic style rangefinder that operates and looks just like an analog camera. With no "chimping," the photographer can be focused on the next shot while they anticipate enjoying their photos later, either back at home when downloading the SD card or when connecting to WiFi on the go.

    Based on the Leica M10-P, the Leica M10-D has a redesigned On/Off switch with an integrated hard Wi-Fi On setting. The new Leica FOTOS app is a key aspect of the M10-D, allowing for access to the photos on the SD card and also controls over camera settings such as date/time, JPG/DNG controls, SD card formatting, and more options that are usually needed only once in a while. By combining the analog experience of shooting a digital camera without a display and the mobile connectivity of WiFi, the M10-D becomes the perfect hybrid between analog and connected worlds. The photographer has the freedom to choose how they embrace it and fit it into their life.

    Viewfinder
    Construction Principle: Large, bright line frame viewfinder with automatic parallax compensation
    Eyepiece: Calibrated to -0.5 diopter; corrective lenses from -3 to +3 diopter available
    Image Field Limiter: By activating two bright lines each: For 35 and 135mm, 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 & 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 (For all lenses): 0.73x
    Large-base Range Finder: Split or superimposed image range finder shown as a bright field in the center of the viewfinder image
    Effective Metering Basis: 50.6mm (mechanical measurement basis 69.31mm x viewfinder magnification 0.73x)
    Displays
    In the Viewfinder: Four-digit digital display with dots above and below
    On Back: No LCD screen. Rear of camera has two dials, one for on/off and WiFi and another for exposure compensation

    • No LCD for an analog experience
    • Hard switch for quick access to Wi-Fi
    • Built-in Exposure Compensation dial on rear
    • Integrated fold-out thumb rest
    • Compatible with Visoflex EVF for Live View capture
    • Works perfectly with Leica FOTOS app
    • Same design/specs as M10-P
    • Quiet shutter
    • Body covering made from genuine leather

    The new selector switch for Off / On / On with WiFi is reminiscent of classic ISO dials from Leica analog M cameras, and allows for the addition of a dedicated Exposure Compensation wheel – a first for digital M cameras.


    The integrated fold-out thumb rest completes the film camera aesthetic and gives improved handling, especially with heavier lenses. Its function is purely ergonomic. The button to the right of the shutter release is used for checking SD card storage (remaining shots) and battery level in the built-in viewfinder.


    The optional Leica Visoflex EVF allows the use of Live View capture for pin-point accurate focusing/ framing and compatibility with super wide-angle lenses. The EVF is only used for viewing and capture, as the Menu and Play functions cannot be used with it.


    The new Leica FOTOS app augments the M10-D much further than any previous Leica camera with no LCD. Now the user can access, download, and share their photos on the go as well as use remote shooting to take pictures via Live View with their smartphone as the viewfinder. Now the first time you see your photos is on the high quality display that is in your pocket, and they are ready to share.
