Looks like Im going to be pretty happy with this combination of M10 and 50 APO .
Nice and light and perfect for most occasions.
Another update, as it seems to be the only thing I do these days :P
This one is a full rebuild from the chassis up featuring many new things:
- Shortened hull;
- New idler positioning;
- New sloping sides;
- New front hull (no longer has that silly 45º slope);
- New turret, featuring all the correct angles! The turret was a real pain to do, but I'm satisfied with it, having all the angles in place and featuring ammo racks and gun breech.
Hope you like!
C&C is more than welcome!
P.S: All non DBG bits are place holders while waiting for replacements :P I was too eager to post it to wait :3

An Allied tank destroyer, was designed in 1942 and was based off the M4A2 Sherman chassis and end engine of a M4A3. It was lightly armored and was a open topped turret, They did this to increase the mobility of the vehicle and situational awareness around the battlefield. Not my design however I forgot who made it, It was inspired by a M10 from a moc from brickfair a couple of years back, comment if you know who designed this so I can give creds!
Back in 2011, after using my Leica M9 camera for less than 18 months, I became aware of adapters that would allow me use Leica M lenses with mirrorless cameras.
I quickly recognized all the advantages of a mirrorless body over the ancient rangefinder technology, and made a decision to sell my M9 camera, and switch to a Sony NEX-5. So I officially jumped on the mirrorless bandwagon in April, 2011. I also published an article titled Goodbye, Leica M9 on Flickr. It upset a lot of Leica Rangefinder aficionados, as well as cost me some of my Flickr friends who were passionate Leica M shooters.
Although the NEX-5 had only an APS-C sensor, I reasoned there would be full-frame sensors in mirrorless cameras in the future. And that has indeed played out, far better than I could have ever imagined. Today I own both the Sony A7R IV and A9 II, and I still have my Sony NEX-5N, which was my first Sony camera upgrade in 2012 from my original NEX-5.
Two years later, when Leica came out with the M240, I ordered one and took a look at it, but was not too impressed, so I returned it. I wrote another article on Flickr titled Goodbye, Leica M Typ 240, which likely cost me a few more Flickr friends.
But I kept a handful of my favorite M-mount lenses that I continued to shoot with my Sony cameras. I was hoping Leica would one day come out with a non-rangefinder M camera with an EVF, but that never happened. But Sony came out with the A7R in December, 2013, the first full-frame mirrorless camera, and my decision to go mirrorless was vindicated, as I gloated in another article on Flickr titled Finally! A full-frame mirrorless from Sony!
I continued to keep an eye on the Leica M evolution, to see if there might be an EVF only M camera, but Leica instead came out with the SL. The. next M camera was the highly boring M10, which the Leica fans really raved about to no end, since it was a full 4mm thinner than the M240 (yawn). It had a weak 24MP sensor, and DXOMark rated it as the 38th best camera on the market, as I noted in yet another rant in December 2017.
After another 2.5 year years of silly variations of the M10, like the M10-P and exotic fashion variations designed to part fools from their money, Leica finally came out with the M10 Monochrom, a surprising monochrome camera with a 40 MP sensor. Recently, they also announced the M10-R, a 40 MP color camera. These are still M10 generation cameras, but at least, they had a halfway decent sensor in them.
One of my friends just bought a Leica M10 Monochrom, and he needed to decide what lenses he should get for it, so he borrowed a couple of my lenses for a few days. In return, he was kind enough to let me borrow his M camera for a few days to take some test shots to see what I thought of it.
The first thing I realized was not much had changed in the M camera in almost a decade. The rangefinder is even harder to use today given even higher resolution sensors, the camera has no integrated EVF, still has a crappy LCD back, and still retains all the limitations of the M9, including 25% of the viewfinder blocked by lenses.
But at least, the goofy looking Visoflex EVF that works with these cameras is marginally better than the toy EVF they had for the M 240 generation of cameras, and no EVF for the M9. That makes the M10 far more usable than the M240 or the M9, which had no EVF at all.
One interesting thing is, the M10 Mono sensor is pretty decent. If you like the RF as a "capture the moment" device and not sweat image quality too much, the camera does deliver delightfully smooth monochrome images. And you can use the Visioflex, goofy as it looks, to get accurate focus and composition when necessary.
At the same high ISO, the Leica delivers much cleaner images than a Sony A7R IV can. A monochrome sensor collects 3-4 x the amount of light a color sensor does, and ISO 12500 from the M10 is less grainy than ISO 3200 from the Sony. That makes the M10 Mono a great camera for available light / low light photography.
So for now, I have access to an M10 Monochrom, and who knows, if I find a used M10 Monochrom for a really great price, I might even buy one – after all, I still have a few of my favorite M lenses that I really enjoy shooting with, although I also use these with my Sony cameras.
But I would never buy a new M10 Mono. As with all M cameras, the M10 Monochrom and the just announced M10-R are grossly overpriced, especially by the time you add the essentials to use them, like the Visoflex EVF, a grip, and an extra battery.
Also, I would not buy the Leica M10-R: I can already use my M lenses with my Sony A7R IV with an integrated high res EVF and the best color sensor in the. world, so I don't need a Leica color camera with an inferior 40 MP sensor. Also, M lenses work just as well on a Sony A7x camera as they do on an M10-R or M10-Mono (at least, the M lenses I have tested: Leica 28 Summilux, 50 Summilux, 50 APO Summicron, 75 APO Summicron, and Zeiss 35 f/1.4 Distagon ZM).
Shown above: M10 Monochrom with a Leica 50mm f/2 APO Summicron-M lens, B+W yellow filter and a Really Right Stuff grip that also replaces the base plate of the camera with an Arca Swiss compatible dovetail camera plate.
Will upload some images ...
