indergaard Posted July 22, 2015 Share #21 Posted July 22, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Where did you buy the black dot for few bucks? I'm looking for one but I found only in Hong Kong for 40$ plus shipment.... Crazy Thanks Massimo My mistake, as I didn't remember what I paid for it. I ordered it with some other items. The red dot can also be painted black. Just take it off and give it a spray of black paint, then carefully rub the paint off on the "Leica" script. It gives the same effect. I would advise using a matte black and not gloss paint. It's not really that important. 1 vs 2 years of warranty is important with these cameras however.

Bob Tilton Posted July 22, 2015 Share #22 Posted July 22, 2015 Big fan of the M-P versions. However, I do like the looks of the black dot with M removed. Are the red and/or black 12mm dots from DAG OE genuine leica parts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Livingston Posted July 22, 2015 Share #23 Posted July 22, 2015 I just like the Leica script on the top plate... I'm not the kind of person that would rub out the white 'M' or change the dot to black... Welcome, dear visitor!

Bill W Posted July 22, 2015 Share #24 Posted July 22, 2015 I probably should just wait and call them on Monday and find out more about the "new" one and see how they can offer it at such a lower price. I bought my silver M240 last August for $6300 from Popflash so prices have really decreased. Not sure if it's an "import", All I can tell is it says it's "New" with full 2 year Leica warranty. Often grey imports don't have the full manufacturers warranty. Joan, Curious as to what you finally did. I have done business with Popflash many times and gotten some really good deals.

Peter Kilmister Posted July 22, 2015 Share #25 Posted July 22, 2015 I just like the Leica script on the top plate... I'm not the kind of person that would rub out the white 'M' or change the dot to black... Lovely set of kit, very similar to my own although my M-P is chrome. So what did you use to take the picture?

Bill Livingston Posted July 22, 2015 Share #26 Posted July 22, 2015 So what did you use to take the picture? iPhone 6 And thanks! (I sometimes wish I had bought a silver one too, it would look seriously cool with a weathered Rally Volpe Arte Di Mano half case...). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoanP Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share #27 Posted July 25, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ok, sorry it took so long for me to get back to you all and thanks to everyone for responding. On Wednesday this week I bought the M-P which ended up being on sale for approximately $57xx with 2 year warranty, Lightroom download, everything. I probably would have bought the regular M240 but it had already sold and I was unable to find another one at that price. I bought it from Popflash Photo and received it today. Yeah, I have the weekend to play. I'm thinking about going to a "Farmer's Market" on the Town Square tomorrow morning with it. It's gotten to be blazing hot here so I doubt I'll be out all day. Can't wait for Fall. Joan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
