Advertisement Posted October 20, 2012 Posted October 20, 2012 Hi sheikhrafiq79, Take a look here leica dmr vs m240. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
andybarton Posted October 20, 2012 Share #2 Posted October 20, 2012 You're right. There will be no comparison between the M and a DMR. The M will beat the DMR out of the park. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildlightphoto Posted October 21, 2012 Share #3 Posted October 21, 2012 I'll have to compare actual production samples of the M240 with the DMR to determine which I prefer. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted October 21, 2012 Share #4 Posted October 21, 2012 Based on Leica's past performance I strongly suspect the M240 will be better than the DMR, but we'll see. I urge you to keep an open mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
topoxforddoc Posted October 23, 2012 Share #5 Posted October 23, 2012 Maybe the M 240 will be better in its IQ than the DMR. It should be, given the antiquarian status of the 2005 DMR. However you’d need to print large to see the difference. I routinely print my DMR images to A2 on my Epson 3800. They still look damned good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted October 24, 2012 Share #6 Posted October 24, 2012 You're right. There will be no comparison between the M and a DMR. The M will beat the DMR out of the park. True. However, I agree with Charlie that the actual prints might look different rather than better. We are talking about the limits of the viewing capacity of the human eye and brain here.

Wolfgang Esslinger Posted October 24, 2012 Share #7 Posted October 24, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Based on Leica's past performance I strongly suspect the M240 will be better than the DMR, but we'll see. I urge you to keep an open mind. Some people say that the DMR made better photos than the newer M8/M9 And we have to wait for actual results and then find out about the shortcomings. It is new technology for Leica which has often (always?) meant unexpected negative surprises. Wait for 2014. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth3kpl Posted October 24, 2012 Share #8 Posted October 24, 2012 How does the M 240 get its name? I thought it was just the "M". Pete Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted October 24, 2012 Share #9 Posted October 24, 2012 It's an internal Leica product code number, not an official model number 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted October 24, 2012 Share #10 Posted October 24, 2012 According to the specs (http://tinyurl.com/9kb7ro3), the technical name is « LEICA M (Typ 240) » for both black paint and chrome versions. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted October 24, 2012 Share #11 Posted October 24, 2012 The next version might be Type 275, or whatever, but will still be called just an "M" 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted October 24, 2012 Share #12 Posted October 24, 2012 Yes like M2, M3, M4 and so on... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheikhrafiq79 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share #13 Posted October 25, 2012 my print sizes mostly A2 , and i already compare with sony A77, there is a big difference in image quality in A2 size the sony 24 mega pixel is too grainy even lowest iso, thats why i m afraid about small sensensor and too much megapixcel.

robsteve Posted November 12, 2012 Share #14 Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) If the DMR was as many megapixels as the new M, the DMR would probably produce better images in the 100iso to 200 iso range. Over the past few years I started shooting the DMR on a tripod using a nodal point mount and vertical stiches to produce very big files. The detail in these big files, plus the colour quality far surpasses the 36mpx D800E that I just acquired. I also own a M8 and when I want really good colour, such as portraits, or even the family Christmas pictures, I use the DMR over the M8. Sheikhrafiq79 has a valid point in that the DMR surpasses the current crop of DSLRs when it is used within its limits, including iso and print sizes. Some of this DMR quality may also be related to the close cooperation between Kodak and Leica. I am sure Kodak has a very good understanding about creating good colour and Leica, getting that good colour onto the sensor plane. The current RAW processors just took a huge leap in quality when it comes to the de-bayer algorithm and past DMR users may want to try reprocessing their favorite images in Capture One Version 7 or Lightroom 4. Here are a couple examples of the DMR using the Nodal point method. Edited November 12, 2012 by robsteve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
