A simple life in the mighty mountains.

Dominic Nahr with the Leica M10-R

The Appenzell Alps have special meaning for me.

This is one of the few places in Switzerland where I’ve spent a lot of time, a place I know really well. That’s why I’ll always return there. The area on and around the Säntis is perfect for taking photographs. The frequent and rapid changes in the weather and the lighting are fantastic.

The 40 megapixel sensor also does a convincing job in low lighting.

The thing that totally surprises me is the quality of the image even in bad lighting conditions. That’s a new experience for me. I was able to photograph in complete darkness. For example, the picture in the goat shed. I knew the distance to the animals, so I set everything manually and I got a perfect picture, even at ISO 6400. I don’t normally go over 1600; but with the M10-R it’s no problem to do so. Without a doubt, it’s my new camera, because I can work everywhere with it. I can be completely relaxed, because it delivers what it promises.

This is the camera I’ve been waiting for. It’s the best camera I’ve worked with to date.
