Real World Shooting with the Leica M10 Monochrom
Just a day after I published my Leica M10 Monochrom video on launch day, the camera showed up on my doorstep. As promised, I took to the streets to get some real-world hands-on experience with the M10 Monochrom. In the video, I talk about my experience with the camera and offer some image quality analysis with plenty of real-world samples at all different ISO settings, lighting conditions, subject matter and with an array of different M lenses.
