You can send in all your lenses in and have them all calibrated to the camera (be patient this can take months)-and it’s still dubious. The rangefinder design is dubious at best given the severe accuracy issues that crop up.No built-in EVF is a bad joke for high-res digital-why wasn’t this a Leica Q style design? What mental prison is at work at Leica? The low-res 2.4MP Leica Visoflex (Typ 020) Electronic Viewfinder costs an additional $635 (but at least it adds GPS), so this is really a $9000 camera.There is still no electronic shutter option. Mechanical shutter has long been seriously bad for vibration, with shutter vibration ruining every image I ever took with the Leica 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt-R (using the Leica R-Adapter M).Diehard Leica M fans might dismiss these concerns, but they are significant design disappointments unworthy of a $9000 camera. Yet it’s clear that Leica has made a strong effort to do nothing significant other than add a higher-res sensor-nil new design thinking, (still a half-decade-old design). Still, if you’re a Leica M shooter with a fat wallet, what’s not to like? There is serious appeal in having a pair of such cameras, but at $9000 each with the optional EVF, that’s $18K before any lenses, which would buy a very nice Fujifilm GFX100 system with lenses. Leica now has a unique solution on the market: a pair of cameras of the same 40-megapixel resolution, one a conventional Bayer matrix sensor ( Leica M10-R), and one a monochrome sensor ( Leica M10 Monochrom).
