Leica M10-D
The M10-D (October 2018) answers a question Leica's most philosophical customers ask: can a digital camera free you from chimping? The answer was to remove the LCD screen entirely. The M10-D has a clean, uninterrupted back with a film-advance-style thumbwheel. Images transfer to your phone via WiFi for review — intentionally delayed, intentionally disconnected from instant gratification.
It also brought back the physical ISO dial from the old film M cameras — a tactile feature the standard M10 omitted. The M10-D is not for everyone. It is very much for a specific kind of photographer who finds the LCD screen a distraction and wants their digital experience to feel closer to the ritual of film photography.

Collector & User Inspection Guide
Battery Health & Charger
The M10 uses the smaller BP-SCL5 battery (due to the slim body). Genuine Leica batteries are expensive ($195+). Ensure the battery holds charge and the contacts are clean.
Rangefinder Alignment at Infinity
Check rangefinder alignment at infinity (aim at a building 1km away) and at 1m with a fast f/1.4 lens to verify vertical and horizontal calibration.
