Back in January, when the new Leica M10 was introduced, there were claims that the improvement in dynamic range from the Leica M240 to the M10 was of the order of 1.5 to 2 stops. At the time, I wrote that just by eyeballing the published images, I believed the improvement to be "closer to 0.5 stops than 1.5-2".
Much to my surprise, given what I had thought to be just a basic explanation of why dynamic range is a tricky concept, the post generated a lot of push-back. And I mean a LOT.
Well, now there is actually an independent third-party measurement available, from photonstophotos.net:
And....(drum roll)....the improvement in DR between the M240 and the M10 is 0.55 stops. As I predicted back in January.
You can a find whole lot more information, including a useful interactive graphing tool that allows you to compare cameras, on the photonstophotos.net site.
