Leica M10-D (2018–2020)
A digital rangefinder designed for an analog-like experience, lacking a rear LCD and emphasizing mechanical handling.
Overview
The Leica M10-D is a digital rangefinder camera introduced on October 24, 2018, as part of the Leica M10 series. It stands out in the lineup by omitting the rear LCD screen entirely, offering a minimalist, film-like shooting experience while retaining full digital functionality. Designed for photographers familiar with Leica M-series handling, it allows direct control over shutter speed, ISO, and exposure settings, with image review and transfer handled via Wi-Fi instead of a built-in display. The camera features a film advance lever for manual winding, reinforcing its analog aesthetic despite being fully digital. Production ended in July 2020, when Leica discontinued the model alongside the original M10.

Design
The M10-D features a minimalist design centered around an analog-like experience, removing the rear LCD to encourage a more deliberate, tactile workflow. Instead of screen-based review, images are accessed via Wi-Fi. The camera includes a mechanical film advance lever for winding, mimicking the operation of traditional film rangefinders. Its construction follows the rangefinder-style mirrorless layout, with a digital sensor capturing images through a Leica M-mount (implied by product type and series compatibility).
