Leica M10-R

• The camera closely resembles the original M10. It lacks the engravings found on the M10-P and features a standard red dot instead of a screw. The only significant change is the sensor; however, the motherboard, buffer, processor, and menus are identical to those of the M10-P³²⁵.
• Leica has already maximized the buffer size for the processor, meaning there is no larger buffer available. Additionally, the larger file sizes result in slightly slower processing, which effectively makes the buffer smaller³²⁵.
• The shutter is the quieter version found in the M10-P, which has been popular among many users³²⁵.
• Leica adjusted the base ISO for Auto ISO to 200³²⁵.
• This change helps prevent accidental ‘blown’ highlights while still permitting the use of ISO 100 when appropriate³²⁵.
• Produced between 2020 and 2022³⁵⁷.
• Special edition of this camera, Leica M10-R "Black Paint" was introduced in 2021. This camera had a black high-gloss finish. The top plate of the camera featured the classic Leica script and an "Ernst Leitz Wetzlar Germany" engraving. The ISO and shutter speed dials were cross-knurled and the shutter release button was silver chrome-plated. The camera had no red Leica dot³⁵⁷.
