It does not attract fingerprints at all. Welcome, dear visitor!

Just curious because I ordered one from my shop about 2 weeks ago and haven’t heard anything yet and I’m starting to get a little nervous that I missed the boat.

I’m very interested in this camera, too, but I’m in the process of ordering an M9. Have there been any reviews or comparisons with the original M240, yet? It feels like there has been nothing new lately, even though some people have already got their hands on this. And a few units made it on eBay.

And a few units made it on eBay. I’d say it’s a standard 240 with a different paint job and 2mb buffer from the m-p. It’s missing the ability to use the multifunction grip apparently too although you wouldn’t know to look at it. The baseplate sticker declares it as an m-240 so they didn’t go as far to print new versions of them up and when registering it the serial number was recognised as an m-240. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm studying the M240, and I like that it has a better screen than the M9 and can shoot video. I've read that the multifunction grip can add GPS functionality to the system; not a big issue to lose, in trade for the extra buffer memory. If that is all the difference, and no change in image quality, I'll start researching the M240 more while I contemplate... Thanks again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
david strachan Posted August 17, 2019 Share #171 Posted August 17, 2019 I bought the M-P 240, because it has live view. It's very handy for other lenses, particularly close-up, such as the Nikkor 55mm f3.5. And many other lenses. I'd still be with my M8's, but for lack of live-view...🤤 ...

I was a bit different as I’d discounted the m240 because I wanted the bigger buffer and don’t have any need for the multifunction. I’ve also disabled video and find the addition to f live view handy like @david strachan I was looking for an m-p 240 when the m-e was released. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilipala Posted August 23, 2019 Share #173 Posted August 23, 2019 Just picked up my first Leica from Leica Manchester. New model ME 240 with Summicron M F2 1.2/35 ASPH. Very early impression is nice! Thanks to Leica Manchester for their help. rgds 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
low325 Posted August 30, 2019 Share #174 Posted August 30, 2019 This is a beautiful camera. Something about the 240 design that I like over the M10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had my first experience with an M10 body last week. My main impression was that it's unnecessarily heavy/dense. The M240 feels almost perfect in my hand in terms of size and balance. And I've come to appreciate it's aesthetic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblutter Posted August 31, 2019 Share #176 Posted August 31, 2019 I'm waiting to see what the eventual M11 has. I skipped the M10 because the sensor's the same as my 240, which remains perfectly acceptable. As for the price of the M-E as a back-up, I'd get the best used 240 I could find for about the same price. For an M newbie, M-E would be a great choice and I assume comes with a warranty, leaving one more decision to make: which lens?!?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadfly21 Posted September 12, 2019 Share #178 Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Some shots taken with the camera. Nothing special. Again, it is the same sensor and processing train as the normal M240/M-P240 Welcome, dear visitor!

Bigdukeron Posted September 18, 2019 Share #180 Posted September 18, 2019 Don't want to jinx it but I got one today that was listed as available at Red Dot Camera in London. It's on the way with a Summicron 35, a Voigtlander 50 1.2 and the Skopar 21... Watching the DHL tracker now like a hawk 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
