Advertisement Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Hi ShivaYash, Take a look here Lightroom and M-E. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Jeff S Posted July 30, 2015 Share #2 Posted July 30, 2015 The M-E is an M9…good that LR is smart enough to recognize the marketing spin. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Pope Posted July 30, 2015 Share #4 Posted July 30, 2015 Could be worse - it could think it's a Pentax ME... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azuled Posted July 30, 2015 Share #5 Posted July 30, 2015 I don't have the camera anymore so I can't confirm, but I recall that some places in the menu it even included notes about the "M9" or made reference to the "USB Port" which does not exist. The M-E was a great camera that was confusingly executed (they could have spent an extra month or two in firmware development and made a million miles in user experience).

Jeff S Posted July 30, 2015 Share #6 Posted July 30, 2015 I expect that after the introduction of the next M, there will be a replacement M-E based on the M240 platform. If so, it's better for LR to note the underlying platform rather than confuse M-E iterations. But who knows with Leica when it comes to naming conventions.

Jeff I would not have thought so given its poor reception. I think its odd, the status of the M-E has held it back, in my opinion. I love mine and prefer it over the M9, aesthetically I mean. It has a very pleasing clean look. Its old technology but I am not taken in by the cost benefit of the M240. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stebesplace Posted July 30, 2015 Share #8 Posted July 30, 2015 Yes, LR5, and LR6 refer to the M-E as an M9. I love my M-E honestly, the look is unique, and it's tough as nails. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love mine and prefer it over the M9, aesthetically I mean. It has a very pleasing clean look. Its old technology but I am not taken in by the cost benefit of the M240. I liked the M8.2 (still my back-up), but much prefer the M240 as a traditional RF camera, never mind LV, etc. This has been covered elsewhere, and others have different needs preferences and opinions….as always. Not sure what you mean by poor reception…to the M-E? As I said, it's an M9 with minor changes, including cosmetic, with a lower entry price point. Others who know more than I suggest that it will remain the entry camera for subsequent iterations, e.g., when the next M arrives, the M240 will get an entry level M-E cousin. We'll see. The name isn't the issue….the pricing and future model 'support' is. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
