Usually I set my iso once, when I start taking photos at any given location. Select, lock in place and be done with it - works great. If I need to change it, can do it in a pinch.
If I can estimate beforehand that I need to be changing the iso several times, I just leave the knob in the upper position. It’s in a place, where accidental knocks are not likely.
Operating like this, the slight stiffnes of unlocking the wheel doesn’t matter at all.
I the whole thing grew into a problem, because internet reviewers had the camera for couple of days and wrote the complaints based on too little experience. When you combine that to a large portion of customer base being hobbyists and internet besserwissers (like me :salute
, you easily get complaints. People had in their mind already when buying that iso-wheel sucks.
Now, the people who have actually been open minded about it and have been shooting with the M10 for a while now aren’t complaining.
So actually the real reviews that will the the story are those ”one year with the M10” reviews, which should start popping up soon’ish.
As a whole, I have a hard time finding things to complain about with the M10. It just feels like a very natural M camera and performs great.
