Peter Lea Posted March 14, 2014 Share #1 Posted March 14, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, is anyone apart from me waiting for Leica to make an MP-style M, without the red dot, and with the word Leica in script on the top plate? Prices being what they are, it will probably be my last Leica, so I want it to be one that I like the looks of, as well as being the camera it is.

Advertisement Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Hi Peter Lea, Take a look here Any chance of an MP-style M(240)?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
wattsy Posted March 14, 2014 Share #2 Posted March 14, 2014 "MP-style". I dare say Leica will have something like this at Photokina in September or earlier (I seem to recall that the M9P was launched at a special event in Paris, though I think that was a non-Photokina year).

IWC Doppel Posted March 14, 2014 Share #3 Posted March 14, 2014 I have no doubt thay will bring one out this year Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted March 16, 2014 Share #4 Posted March 16, 2014 Perhaps your wish will be granted at the event on 24th March. (No insider knowledge, just guesswork.) Pete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted March 17, 2014 Share #5 Posted March 17, 2014 I sort of hope they don't, just because I find the perpetual upgrade impetus wearisome, especially when it's driven by cosmetics rather than function..It's as if digital cameras didn't have short enough life-cycles as it is. Mind you, it will look once no doubt. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Barnack Posted March 17, 2014 Share #6 Posted March 17, 2014 I don't object to the "M" on the front of the M240, but Leica could have used a smaller red dot logo - or made the dot black rather than red. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance, Leica aims at rich people who buy the leica for show, they want the red dot to be as big as possible... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted March 18, 2014 Share #8 Posted March 18, 2014 - or made the dot black rather than red. For $40 from DAG, and a few minutes of work, having a black dot is easy. About half that cost for smaller black dots for the M8/9. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a couple of minutes' work with modelling paint and a fine brush... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff S Posted March 19, 2014 Share #10 Posted March 19, 2014 Or a couple of minutes' work with modelling paint and a fine brush... But then I'd have to find and buy modeling paint and a fine brush, then stop being lazy, then hope it comes out perfectly. Nah, easier for me to send a check.
