aarontcm Posted November 8, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 8, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone. My first post here and it might seem strange. Would anyone be able to answer these questions? Do all new Leica M bodies come with the little bit of film protecting the LCD? Do the new batteries always come completely empty or with some charge? I'm trying to see whether or not I was sold a display or opened unit which is having some problems now. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdlaing Posted November 8, 2015 Share #2 Posted November 8, 2015 The batteries always have some charge. I have seen bodies with and without film on the LCD when new. There is the possibility the box was opened and the camera shown to someone which has no effect. The most important thing is that you were sold a "new" camera with full factory warranty.

colonel Posted November 11, 2015 Share #3 Posted November 11, 2015 Check actuations using M9info If its under 100 probably new Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy Posted November 11, 2015 Share #4 Posted November 11, 2015 I've bought a number of digital M bodies (including an M-E) and I don't recall any having plastic on the LCD. All were certainly brand new in unopened boxes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdlaing Posted November 11, 2015 Share #5 Posted November 11, 2015 Check actuations using M9info If its under 100 probably new. Doesn't that only work with the memory card that has been used in the camera since the start? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel Posted November 11, 2015 Share #6 Posted November 11, 2015 Doesn't that only work with the memory card that has been used in the camera since the start? No. Take a photo ( jpg or DNG) and run it though M9info and it will tell you the shutter count. The shutter count is incremented every shot and stamped into the exif data in the next photo file. The actual SD card is irrelevant. Best Rgds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted November 12, 2015 Share #8 Posted November 12, 2015 Check actuations using M9info If its under 100 probably new The number of actuations on a new camera can be significantly higher than 100. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel Posted November 24, 2015 Share #9 Posted November 24, 2015 The number of actuations on a new camera can be significantly higher than 100. Actually that's true I remember one new at 349 once Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
