The Leica M10 was met with rave reviews from photographers, especially for its hand-built body and manual range finder. The Leica M10-R keeps those exemplary features while enhancing the model with the same 40 MP sensor it brought to the M10 Monochrom. This enhancement replaces the 24 MP sensor of the original M-10, giving its successor the ability to bring attention to the finest details and operate with whisper-quiet sound so that it’s suitable in any environment.
The 40 MP sensor has a base sensitivity of ISO 100 so that it can capture the imagery in wide-open landscapes while still picking up on the smallest details. The sensor also provides 16 minutes of exposure time, so panoramic views of twilight skies can capture every star. The silent mechanical shutter of the M10-R does much more than eliminate noise, it minimizes vibration so that photographers can keep a stable grasp without distorting their pictures. All of that hardware coalesces with the Leica FOTOS app for seamless photo editing.
