So, who's exchanging black MM for silver?

Who knows the silver will inherit the improved rangefinder from the M (type 240) ... :rolleyes:

 

Nope…both the silver and stainless versions are the same as the current black MM other than finish. And the rumored M230 is merely the name for the stainless version.

I prefer black bodies, that said, I really have to take a good at which camera I'm picking up today since my MM and M9-p look so similar at first glance and the shelf that they live on doesn't allow for easy top plate viewing!

 

It would be easier if one were silver, but no, I don't plan on changing.

I wonder if Leica will announce a cost to convert, much like they did with the M9-P. Perhaps the limited production will preclude such a program.

For a modest $8k upgrade fee, I'm certain Wetzlar will allow you to do so. ;)

This would be ideal. I think you can easily get this request processed in person at Leitzpark.

So what difference does it make? So is silver better? So is black better? So is this a beauty contest?

 

 

So does your silver lens look good on black?

I makes a huge differance if you have a red 1/2 case and use a Gitzu Tripod......................get a grip man:D

Silver bodies take better pictures - everyone knows that!
Correct and they also have the 3.15 processor so a silver one is a no brainer
