A few questions linger in my mind regarding the M10.
In regard to the overwhelming choices photographers have these days, I for one, can only state that the M cameras are still the most desirable cameras of all when I want a small form. No other camera will sate that desire based on so many reasons as stated above in brevity. Coming from MFD, I see the M10 and the S as complementing each other.
The basis of my inquiry about the M10 is discovering how it can be used to produce income. In other words, professionally (meaning generating an income) how best to identify and pursue appropriate markets, and which markets will allow the M10 to shine.
Certainly discounting those areas where other systems excel, such as sports, racing, etc.... where would one actively seek paid work for hire, for using the M10?
Perhaps the market is the same as the MFD market in a different, supporting role.
Or, perhaps the M10 has yet to be discovered for professional use. As an example, is there a limitation in using the M10 for stitched panoramas? Or for use in architectural applications?
So, practically, how can one turn the cash flow around with a Leica M10, or any camera? Is it fate? Or something else? Or is Photography becoming irrelevant? I hope not. It is important to capture meaningful moments in life.
It is however, becoming more apparent to me that there is more to Photography than meets the eye. Yes, pun intended. After all, what camera can capture the image in my mind of the beautiful lady who celebrated with me, our 48th Wedding Anniversary last week the day before her heart surgery?
Or the contre-jour image of our first-born child with his sweet angelic face sitting in a rocking chair with the crescendo of morning sunlight in the background.
Brand names, pixels and costs melt away. It is, after all, the image in the mind that endures.
