jmahto Posted December 16, 2016 Share #361 Â Posted December 16, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) We have had discussion about M240's thickness many times. I remember posting one pic with caliper measuring M240's thickness (of body not including thumb protrusion). It was very close to M9. In fact my half case of M9 did fit M240 with some tightness.

jaapv Posted December 16, 2016 Share #363 Â Posted December 16, 2016 I can't see a picture John. Â There must be someone around with a standard M and M9 and a pair of callipers though. Â But like you, it doesn't worry me at all, but it does seem to concern some people who I believe mistakenly take the M 240 to be appreciably thicker than its predecessor. Some even avoided buying it for that reason, or so they said. I posted that already -baseplates compared- three times. There is a time I won't do so again. Now.

ianman Posted December 16, 2016 Share #365 Â Posted December 16, 2016 There must be someone around with a standard M and M9 and a pair of callipers though. I can check the M9 against my M4-P tomorrow morning... if I don't forget... got an early start to Paris tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Kilmister Posted December 17, 2016 Share #368  Posted December 17, 2016 May I ask, are there any thoughts on what the price of the new M10 will be?  We could hold a lottery. Nearest the mark gets the pot. €1 a guess. Winner takes all.  Come on Andreas, I'm sure you could organise it.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveBK Posted December 17, 2016 Share #369 Â Posted December 17, 2016 $10,000 in honor of 10 years of M Digital, and to pay proper respect to the name M10. Also it will ship on either March 10 (M10), as March also starts with an M in German. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 17, 2016 Share #370 Â Posted December 17, 2016 May I ask, are there any thoughts on what the price of the new M10 will be? Nobody knows, but I would be surprised if it deviated much from the present M bodies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirke Posted December 17, 2016 Share #371  Posted December 17, 2016 They will only kill it if they kill it's unique identity. as is it's unique identity is from another century I see the frame selector on the M10 as a  regression There is a  market for a modern M   iPhone with Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjc001 Posted December 17, 2016 Share #373 Â Posted December 17, 2016 I know this might be largely speculation, but might the introduction of the M10 cause M9 prices to decline slightly? Or are these really very different markets so the M10 introduction will have little affect on the M9 market at this stage? Â I suspect Jaap is correct in thinking M10 prices at introduction will be similar to other new digital Ms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted December 17, 2016 Share #374  Posted December 17, 2016 [...] I see the frame selector on the M10 as a  regression [...]  If it is not retained in the 'modern M' if any i will vote for the regression then. This accessory (ouch! i meant feature of course) has always been useful for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This accessory (ouch! i meant feature of course) has always been useful for me.  Yep, me too.  And this feature is so old and useless that Fuji included it in the X-Pro2... but in this modern camera you can only see 4 framelines instead on 6 framelines on the M9, albeit simultaneously.

markforce Posted December 17, 2016 Share #378  Posted December 17, 2016 Honestly what is this obsession over the thickness, I just don't get it there is no more that 4mm difference between an M3 and M240. who cares  Does it really upset the way you handle a camera if it was 4mm thicker ?? is anyone out there not able to photograph with an M240 because it is 4mm thicker ??  Amen.

a911s Posted December 17, 2016 Share #379 Â Posted December 17, 2016 For someone who's first Leica was an M4-2, I much prefer as lightweight and small a rangefinder as possible. It's the same reason I've stayed with Summicrons. Depending on the buffer size, the M10 sounds like the perfect replacement/back-up camera for my M9-P.

Exodies Posted December 17, 2016 Share #380 Â Posted December 17, 2016 Does the frame selector imply that they haven't fixed the bug of showing pairs of frame lines? A switch like that is not really suitable for more than three positions. I use my phone and a frame line app when I am in doubt and not a hurry.
