So, while I always had a digital Leica M for candid, travel, portrait and street work, and to use as a sketchbook in the field, during these last years I never considered using one for my professional Landscape work. Getting objects precisely where I needed them to be in the corner of my frames with a M8 or a M9 was a trial and error affair, ending up in a frustrating effort at best, futile endeavour at worst. The rangefinder, while a wonderful compositional and focusing tool for street and people photography, is not really conducive to the kind of accurate framing I need for my Landscape work.
When I started working with Fine Art Landscape Photography almost exclusively, digital Leica M cameras were in their infancy, and by their nature they weren’t much suited for this kind of work. My 50mm f/1 Noctilux has always been “the only lens I’ll never sell”. As well, film Leica M cameras have always been my tool of choice for street photography, and for portrait and concert photography as well, at the beginning of my career.
I have a long experience with Leica M digital cameras, started with the Leica M8 more than a decade ago. This is a user Fine Art Landscape Photography with the Leica M10 review, not one of my usual in-depth reviews.
