To those with new Mono, any lens failing to pass muster?

[Sanford Lavine]

I’ve been enjoying my M10 M for months. I will close with a list of lenses I’ve used with this camera, but would like to say that I’m very pleased with the resulting images from all.

I do read lens reviews and rely on Edwin Putts excellent reference information. However, I choose a particular lens for how it helps me capture what I see.

Here’s the lenses I use on my M10 M:

50 1.4 Summilux
50 2.0 APO
35 1.4 Summilux FLE
21 3.4 SEM
90 2.4 Summarit
90 2.0 APO

Each one unique, each seems to have it’s own character, and each one is special.

Thank you, Sanford. I’ve shot most of those lenses and concur. I must clarify an earlier post in that I stated I had a new Mono on the way. It was a rental and I had hoped to put it through its paces this weekend. Alas, the delivery people screwed up the delivery and I never received it!
Such is life in the “new times”. Stay tuned...

Quite tempting! If Dante came calling mama spank.
However, most definitely waiting for a chrome version which if past models are any indication will be in about 1 1/2 years.

IMHO, if you want a M10M just buy it new since even used prices are very high compared to anything else in FF.

BTW, one lens I kept is the 226 gram Tele-Elmarit 90/2.8 which works very well on the Monochrom. It creates an interesting image with character where the images do not feel too crisp, but still draws beautifully. I'll try to find an image for tomorrows Dusting off the Hard Drives-Landscapes thread over on MF as one example.

I was lucky to buy an M10M and get it before my trip to Peru this past February. No one else but me in the house---so mama can't spank. :ROTFL:

Lou, love that lens. I took an M9P and Tele-Elmarit 90 as my only lens to Portugal last year. Never felt the need for another lens on that trip. Although an APO 50 would’ve been nice.

John, hard to say if there will be a chrome model of the M10M since the M246 monochrom was only released in black. Time will tell.

Well, there seem to be plenty of M9 chrome Mono’s around. With a stable of M8.2 and M9P in chrome I would really hate to have an interloper...:ROTFL:[SUP][/SUP]
