Leica has just revealed another M10 variant. Following in the footsteps of the Leica M10-P with its quiet shutter, the M10-D that lacks the LCD screen, and the M10 Monochrom with a 40MP black-and-white image sensor, we now have the Leica M10-R: a high-resolution version of the Leica M10 that uses the same sensor as the Monochrom, but shoots color.
Almost 5 years after the last Leica M-Monochrom (Typ 246) was announced in 2015, Leica has ditched the "Typ" number, increased the resolution, and expanded the ISO range to unveil the new M10 Monochrom: a camera that promises "an unparalleled black-and-white photography experience."
If you thought the Leica M Monochrom cameras were a gimmick that had already enjoyed their moment in the sun, it looks like you were wrong. According to the latest reports, the iconic German camera maker is working on a new Monochrom camera with a 41MP sensor and a design similar to the current Leica M10.
