Given that she can read these posts, the OP is hardly likely to be encouraged to hang around here, is she?   Firstly she's put up as a potential scammer, out to steal gear, and then just because she

I still find it a bit strange that the OP has not responded on here after the initial post that they made...

The OP and I were the only ones there, I with an M3, she with an M6 and M240. We had a drink and went off for a photo walk.    I'd be happy to do it again in May or June, depending on when others he

The suggestion to check out Thorsten's article is an excellent one.  You might also try looking up some tutorials on youtube.  Good luck!  It's a jump from film to digital.  And learning Lightroom is also a hurdle, but fun once gotten some good instruction.  Have fun!

Compared to most of the oriental cameras on the market, the M240 is one of the easiest cameras to use. As someone has already mentioned, having a look at Overgaard's blog is quite helpful. There's really  not much to set before going out and practising, especially if you plan to use it as a rangefinder, rather than a mirrorless camera. Get the essentials sorted then build from there.

 

There's quite a good book by David Taylor on the M240, an expanded user manual of 200+ pages written in easily understood language.

 

' Leica M Typ 240 The Expanded Guide by David Taylor ' ISBN 978-1-78145-039-0

I obtained a new copy off Amazon for £10.95.

I'd thoroughly agree with that. I use a Nikon DSLR at work. No aperture ring, no shutterspeed dial and a load of multifunctional controls. Not the most intuitive piece of equipment you'll ever use !

You could try St Giles but it's usually pretty busy.

A safe bet on a Saturday is Blackhall Road, just behind Keble. (Parks Road>Keble Road>Blackhall Road)

 

I'm not sure what the time limit is, so Park & Ride might be the better option...
