The big picture: Leica has even gone so far as to remove its iconic red
dot logo from the front of the camera and color-filled engravings for a
very minimalist look. The design element further enhances the black and
white character of the camera, we’re told.
German camera manufacturer Leica on Friday introduced the M10 Monochrom,
a camera for niche photographers only interested in shooting in black
and white.
Leica’s third generation Monochrom, the M10 features a newly developed
40-megapixel sensor. The company’s earlier offerings in the line,
original M Monochrom and the M Monochrom (Typ 246), utilized modified
versions of the color image sensors from other M products but this one
was purpose built for this specific camera.
Elsewhere, you’ll find a wide ISO range of 160 to 100,000, built-in
Wi-Fi connectivity and all of the trappings of a production M10-P. Leica
said it features the quietest shutter release of any M-series camera
ever built, making it ideal for street photography.
Notably, there aren’t any video recording capabilities. This is strictly a photo-only camera.
The Leica M10 Monochrom is compatible with all lenses in the Leica M
portfolio. Look for it to arrive by the end of the month priced at
$8,295 for the body.
