Herr Barnack Posted April 20, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 20, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I am wondering what other Leica cameras the M240 owners who are members of this forum also own. Since I am asking, I will go first: Currently: M4-P (black) Formerly: MP (black, 2003 birth date) The MP was sacrificed in order to help finance the M240 purchase. So far, I can't say I miss it or regret trading it off; it is hard to believe that I traded it though - never thought I'd see that happen. At some point, I will get an older M body such as an M3, another M4-P or an M5 as a back-up to the M4-P for film shooting. I would also like to add a CL body and perhaps a D-LUX 6 as a snapshot camera. I would not rule out an M Monochrom, when/if the second generation MM becomes available and if cash were not an issue. Another Question: What other Leica cameras would M240 owners like to add to their bags? Thanks, ladies and gents. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

swamiji Posted April 20, 2014 Share #2 Posted April 20, 2014 Currently: MM, M7, R9 Previously: M9, M8, M4-2, IIIg, IIIf, IIIb, SL2, R8 Well the M240 caused me to buy a R9, as I can't kick the film addiction. I sold my M9 towards the M240. I am looking at a MP for my next body purchase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Barnack Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted April 20, 2014 One M is all I need... Not to sound like a skinflint, but one M is all most of us "need" (wedding and other event photographers excepted, of course). This Leica thing we have is not about need, though. It is a photographic quality of life issue IMHO. Some material possessions elevate the quility of life for some people. For some, it is a _______________________ (fill in the blank). For me, it is a couple of Leica M cameras and a couple of Leica M lenses. YMMV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chito Posted April 20, 2014 Share #12 Posted April 20, 2014 M240, RX1 (my portable 35 and "macro-ish" camera) and a 5D Mark III which I'm probably going to sell (and the lenses). When I eventually get the extension tubes for the 240 I'll be able to use it as a macro and it will probably be my only camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I simply like all these cameras for what they represent. The M3 is my first Leica, bought in 1976. I cannot bring myself to sell any of them, despite “needing” only one or two. On the contrary, if (when?) I run into an attractive specimen I’ll probably buy it… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
