firoze Posted February 19, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 19, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, I am interested in acquiring the M-E. Since the M-E was released after the M9-P, would it have the improved viewfinder of the M9-P (minus the frame-line selector), and also the improved shutter? (If indeed it is true that the M9-P has a improved rangefinder/shutter over the M9). ps: I am fully aware of the sensor corrosion issue. Thanks in advance.

Advertisement Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Hi firoze, Take a look here Does the Leica M-E have the improved rangefinder/shutter of the M9-P?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
a.noctilux Posted February 19, 2019 Share #2 Posted February 19, 2019 Hello Firoze, I'm not aware that M9-P was "improved" in VF or shutter, over plain M9. Only LCD screen was in sapphire and some cosmetics "improvements" on body (outside, no red logo) on M9-P. I'm sure that M-E has the same shutter mechanism and VF as M9 (and M9-P). ... Maybe you referred to M8-2 which had improved shutter (quieter and less vibrations) but even then the VF was same as plain M8. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall reading, quite a while ago, that the M9-P had some slight mechanical improvements over the M9. Hence I posed the question. Maybe I am mistaken after all.

a.noctilux Posted February 19, 2019 Share #4 Posted February 19, 2019 Talking about M9's viewfinder, In 2010, when Leica released Limited M9 Titanium, I wonder what missed (at front): the frame illumination window I didn't know that from then M framelines would be LED illuminated 😏 Welcome, dear visitor!

firoze Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share #5 Posted February 19, 2019 Now that I think about it, I recall reading that the M9-P rangefinder was less prone to get misaligned vs the M9. As well the M9-P shutter had a slightly different sound vs the M9. Perhaps as Aranud says, this refers to the M8/M8-2 rather than the M9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko.Fe. Posted February 19, 2019 Share #6 Posted February 19, 2019 M8 has some improvements with latest shutter. Shutters, sensors and VF seems to be the same in all M9 series. M9, M9P and M-E were different on things on external side of the camera bodies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
