My M10-M does a good bit of duty as a copy camera for scanning B&W negatives out of my Minox, 35mm, and medium format film cameras, fitted with a mount adapter and Leica R-system macro lenses.
(Made with Kodak Retina IIc + Schneider Retina-Xenon 50mm f/2.8 on Ferrania FP30 rated at EI 80, processed HC-110 @ 1:40, 8 min processing.)
This negative was part of my testing Ferrania FP30: it is a very contrasty film, and EI 80 is much too high for it in HC-110. I'm glad I was able to retrieve this photo! The M10-M sensor's extraordinary dynamic range was a great asset here.
A later film/processing test ... rating FP30 at EI 40, switching dilution to 1:80, and processing for 16 minutes: it brings the contrast down nicely and allows the film to retain much more shadow value tonality.
