About Leica M10 Monochrom
Leica M10 Monochrom Camera
The Leica M10 Monochrom is the latest addition to Leica’s series of black and white-only digital rangefinder cameras. This model is based on the M10-P and has a slim and compact body that is similar to M film cameras. The Leica M10 comes with a redeveloped full-frame, monochrome 40.89MP CMOS sensor and a Maestro II image processor. This combination allows the M10 to have a wide dynamic range and better sensitivity that is necessary for working under various lighting conditions. It also has a sensitivity range of ISO 160-100000, higher than color-enabled M10 cameras. The Leica M10 has a 3.0-inch 1.04m-dot touchscreen LCD with a Gorilla Glass cover for added durability. The body of the Leica M10 has a dedicated ISO dial that can be adjusted even if the camera is turned off. Additionally, the M10 Monochrom is WiFi-ready and can be linked and controlled using a mobile device using the Leica FOTOS app. Discover beauty in black and white using the Leica M10 Monochrom Digital Rangefinder Camera.

Leica Camera is excited to unveil the long-awaited third generation of its innovative black and white digital range finder cameras, the Leica M10 Monochrom. Based on the Leica M10-P platform, the M10 Monochrom brings a new level of resolution and performance to the M-System as well as black and white photography as a whole.
40 Megapixel full frame.
The Leica M10 Monochrom touts a brand new 40 megapixel full frame monochrome sensor that achieves new heights in sharpness, detail and resolution while also opening up newfound versatility with a lower base ISO of 160 and a higher maximum ISO of 100,000.
The classic touch of Leica in a breathtaking new body.
With these new levels of performance, the M10 Monochrom is even more capable than its predecessors in any lighting scenarios while maintaining the film-like grain and beautiful contrast and sharpness it is known for, thanks to the removal of the color filter array from the sensor. The M10 Monochrom is the ideal camera for the most passionate and dedicated black and white photographers.
The highest quality black and white captures, ever.
The newly developed 40 megapixel sensor has been built from the ground up with the M10 Monochrom in mind, achieving new more versatile ISO performance. The removal of the color filter array ensures each pixel receives more light and no interpolation is needed, ensuring the highest quality black and white captures.
The same beautiful design, packed with new features.

The Leica M10 Monochrom opens the door to a new dimension of black-and-white photography. Equipped with a newly developed image sensor, the camera delivers an extremely high-quality rendition with breathtaking detail resolution.
The absence of a color filter array and exceedingly high sensor resolution of 40 megapixels result in an unprecedented depiction of even the finest details, along with an exceptionally natural-looking sharpness.
The new M10 Monochrom and its high-resolution sensor represent an uncompromising commitment to classic black-and-white photography, which has now been elevated to an entirely new level of image quality.
No other camera consolidates the most fundamental of all photographic practices - the composition of images using only contrast and light - with a recording quality that can only be achieved with state-of-the-art methods of engineering and construction.
Improved detail rendition for greater image quality
The Leica M10 Monochrom occupies a special place within the M-System: its newly developed image sensor is designed exclusively for grayscale recordings and offers exceptional fine-detail rendition thanks to its exceedingly high, 40-megapixel resolution.
The fact that no color filter arrays are required means that there are fewer glass and filter layers to impede the transmission of light or cause
This is especially advantageous in a traditional rangefinder camera, and results in decreased, finer-grained image noise. In addition, the sensor's enormous sensitivity range of ISO 160 to ISO 100,000 enables recordings with an extremely broad dynamic range - yielding images whose areas of shadow and illumination are clearly defined, particularly when shooting in uneven, high-contrast light.
Understated and discreet for low-profile shooting
The Leica M10 Monochrom is the epitome of discretion - which is why we chose to omit the familiar, and potentially eye-catching, red dot. In a similar vein, the "Leica M10 Monochrom" inscription on the top plate is considerably more subtle. The strict omission of any color-inlaid engravings further emphasizes the camera's monochrome character.
The camera shutter is barely audible, enabling recordings in situations in which other cameras would be too obtrusive. Thanks to its understated appearance, the M10 Monochrom allows photographers to blend into the crowd and capture their subjects without drawing attention.
A reliable companion, Made in Germany
The Leica M10 Monochrom is hand-crafted by accomplished specialists using superior-quality materials and elaborate methods of engineering.
For example, the camera's top and base plates are neither stamped nor molded, but milled from solid blocks of brass. For example, the camera's top and base plates are neither stamped nor molded, but milled from solid blocks of brass.
Due to its robust construction, the Leica M10 Monochrom can weather even the toughest external conditions.
'Made in Germany' guarantees the utmost quality, reliability and durability, ensuring long-term value and functionality. After all, a Leica is not just a camera, but represents a worthwhile, life-long investment.
Utilizing the full scope of the camera's capability
With its high-resolution image sensor and faithful detail rendition, the Leica M10 Monochrom has significantly raised the bar in terms of camera quality and performance. This, in turn, means that only equally high-capacity lenses will be able to utilize all of the camera's performance reserves.
Leica M-Lenses - globally recognized as the world's best full-frame lenses - are the perfect match for the Leica M10 Monochrom, giving rise to an exceptionally high-performance combination
