jaapv Posted March 1, 2017 Share #4 Posted March 1, 2017 If Leica charges full price - which is by no means certain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ricoh Posted March 2, 2017 Share #5 Posted March 2, 2017 How old is the camera, and how many actuations do you estimate? Apart from the noise, is it actuating as it should, at all dial speeds? Any black frames recorded? This is a known fault with the M240 and Leica should sort it for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirke Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share #6 Posted March 2, 2017 I got the M240 beginning of March 2013, actuations maybe 50 000 No black frames recorded For sure the noise changed, it has not anymore this wonderful noise the shutter had when I got it , and it seems slower even if it is not possible thanks to all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I have noticed, however, the shutter makes a different sound when the ISO wick is turned up to 3200 or 6400. It's inconsistent, only happening now and again.

Steve Ricoh Posted March 3, 2017 Share #10 Posted March 3, 2017 He said maybe 50,000 when I asked for an estimate. I think if i was asked the same question I'd interrogate Lightroom and add a bit (or a quite lot ) for the ones I've deleted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure a user can know the shutter count accurately. With M8/M9 it was accessible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With M8/M9 it was accessible.Maybe the M8 / M9 had a more reliable shutter than the M240, and maybe the manufacturers don't want you to know exactly the life of the shutter, the exact number of actuations at failure.What is the life expectancy of the M240 shutter, anyone know? And does sequential shooting put more strain, eg overheating of solenoids (should be designed for continuous operation, and after all it's battery powered, not from mains electricity).
