Leica M10-P
The Leica M10-P was introduced in June 2018 as the first variant of the Leica M10318. The Leica M10-P was considered a more robust and discreet version of the Leica M10357. Although the Leica M10-P featured the same sensor as the Leica M10, there were three significant technical advancements in the camera, namely, a touchscreen interface, the level gauge, and much quieter shutter318.
The Leica M10-P did away with the red dot, and, had the classic script engraving on the top357.
The Leica M10-P was produced until 2022357.
