Who’s this? You might ask – well LEICA of course – you can always trust them to come up with something totally bonkers. (Remember the model WITHOUT a rear screen?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the LEICA M10-R. Isn’t it an M10R you ask? No, it isn’t – it’s a Special Edition of the LEICA M10R – note the very subtle change of name there… It’s truly amazing how important a ‘-‘ is…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ‘Special’ bit (aside from a NEW shutter button surround and diamond hashing on the control wheels…) is the fact that they have given the body a coat of glossy black paint…which is designed to wear off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why? You might well ask…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will it take better pictures, or more importantly make you a better photographer? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course not – but that’s not the game anymore, is it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
