charlesphoto99 Posted November 13, 2013 Share #21 Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I never use a box. I find them very difficult to grasp and haven't found a bag that would fit it properly. Oh well, there goes the resale value...

Advertisement Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 Hi charlesphoto99, Take a look here Disappointed with the new M240 Box. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
steveBK Posted November 13, 2013 Share #22 Posted November 13, 2013 I also held onto the original shipping label & packing peanuts as I heard my M box would lose value otherwise. What color peanuts did everyone get? My dealer told me green was standard, but he would upgrade me to white at no charge. I was very happy about that since it would match the box color better. Though in the end I was pretty disappointed in the peanuts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pieterpronk Posted November 13, 2013 Share #23 Posted November 13, 2013 Well, I'm going to skip this box and wait for the next generation box. Also... Why couldn't Leica just name the new box the M10 box? Oh and my biggest gripe by far: my box beeps while opening. You can hear it when you open it in a completely quiet environment. Leica tells me boxes shouldn't beep, so I encourage all boxowners to send back their beeping boxes. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leica lux Posted November 13, 2013 Share #24 Posted November 13, 2013 I put the box in the sun, and the leica glow is gone I'm frustrated... I'm going to exchange it for a M9 Box, my dealer has a brand new available and is open minded for a trade-in, lucky me!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
masjah Posted November 13, 2013 Share #25 Posted November 13, 2013 It's rumoured that there's going to be a new box, but there is already considerable disappointment amongst those in the know, because there are no significant improvements, only cosmetic changes, mainly the card elements having multiple coatings rather than being singly coated.

LocalHero1953 Posted November 13, 2013 Share #26 Posted November 13, 2013 Don't understand all these moans. It's only a box after all. Get out there and use it for what it's meant for. I've used my box daily from the day it arrived, all weathers, all locations, and it works perfectly. Come on guys - it's a box! Get real!

Salander Posted November 13, 2013 Share #29 Posted November 13, 2013 The silver of the outer box has a slightly different gloss from the M9 Very disappointing indeed... But for 200 Euro more Leica will put an original Leica Bratwurst in the top drawer. Who doesn't like Bratwurst? SOLD! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted November 13, 2013 Share #30 Posted November 13, 2013 Very disappointed with my M240 box too. The battery must have been flat because the music didn't play when I opened it. Pete. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

quadraticadder Posted November 13, 2013 Share #33 Posted November 13, 2013 I find the Cardboard Cut Diagonally, or CCD box has the classic Leica Box look. The new Cardboard Made Of Sheets, or CMOS box, while you can see it better in low light, just doesn't have that classic Leica Box look. I've studied carefully with a magnifying glass, the walls look a little green to me. Best, Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

larsv Posted November 13, 2013 Share #36 Posted November 13, 2013 The solution to the box problem may be to think out of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted November 13, 2013 Share #37 Posted November 13, 2013 When I opened the box I found a dead cat inside. Herr Schrodinger swears that it was alive and well when he put it in there shortly before. Pete. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyalf Posted November 13, 2013 Share #38 Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) The box might be an issue, but worse is that the paper compression on user guide is not improved from M9. Its still at 50% compression due to print on both sides of paper. Its not even lossless since I already have lost mine.

jcraf Posted November 13, 2013 Share #39 Posted November 13, 2013 Never mind the box, for me the point is the little cloth sacks with the Leica logo. I plan to use them as Christmas presents to my 2 favourite Leica friends, filled with nuts, chocolates and candied fruit. Of course, I will have to ask for the sacks to be returned after the contents have been consumed. I will then launder them, and reuse them for Christmas 2014 and so on, until I need to sell the M. Thus, having protected my box, and regularly laundered my sack(s), my residuals will be thoroughly protected. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted November 13, 2013 Share #40 Posted November 13, 2013 So … that would be a Leica 'nutcase', John? Pete. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
