$8300 for new Leica M10 Monochrom camera??

4 years 2 months ago #673598 by Sanford
Seriously who in their right mind would buy a $8300 black and white only camera in 2020?  

I don't get some of the decisions that some of these camera manufactures make.

Leica has its fans, but I see NO Leica branded gear in my future...and I'm no swami.

Why so serious?

This camera has a color screen in the back right?  Why??  The camera is B&W.

G'day mate

Hand made - bespoke by another name - you pay for the finess, the perfection etc
Wanna compare a Rolls Royce to a Ford ?

G'day Scott

A decade ago I was at a moutain top lookout and the fella alongside me had a Leica plus lenses in a shoulder bag. We got chatting and I noticed that his camera was set to 'auto' so offered him some extra thoughts on camera settings etc

When I asked about the camera plus lenses when it was obvious that he was a novice, his reply was along the lines of "well I'm a retired dentist so I can afford a good camera and I asked around for what is the best camera to buy ... so I did"

Way over priced for my budget.  But cool camera either way.

I'd love to have a Leica lens, not a new one.  Well new if it looked old.  But there is no way I can cough up that kind of green when you can get so much more for far less.  I just love the retro look of their cameras.  But price wise, they are shooting their self in the foot for new clients.   Just my 2 cents.

1000% with you on this one.  Overpriced and not the best value.
