I might just focus on M240 so I can make use of my R lenses as well.😀 Make sure to get the EVF (Oly VF-2) if you plan to use the R lenses. And the Leica R to M adapter -a bit pricey but solid build quality with ability to attach tripod plate. Can be had used for $300 or under in the US. I used my APO Elmarit-R 180MM on the M240. Beautiful results. https://diglloyd.com/ has some of the best samples I have seen from M240 + APO Elmarit 100MM, but they are behind a paid wall. Stunning results that quickly put to rest any concerns about M240's old sensor Edited April 10, 2021 by ravinj Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I go for a M-P 240 or M-E 240, from Thorsten Overgaard’s this article, it seems the M-P one got 2G buffer. To be honest I don’t quite understand his meaning when talking about the difference between P and E 240. Also, my local dealer is offering this brass top version, which, I think is for collection purposes or show off instead of photographing. Welcome, dear visitor!

P 240 has "scratch" resistant LCD. Is more expensive, marketed as cosmetically better looking. The LCD on the other two variants is also tough and with a protector on, more than scratch resistant. Personally, I don't pay a premium for looks or "upgrades" and would go for the one that is cheaper. In good condition, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I don't pay a premium for looks or "upgrades" and would go for the one that is cheaper. In good condition, obviously. I see. Thanks. Further research shows that ME 240 has mono mic and no built in speaker while P 240 has stereo mic and built in speaker- not that important. How to differ the "original M240" with 1G buffer and P 240? I guess 1G or 2G buffer does matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravinj Posted April 10, 2021 Share #45 Posted April 10, 2021 I am a slow shooter so didn't have any issues with the buffer size. If you do a lot of rapid or burst shooting 2GB should be better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything I need to pay attention to the monochrome one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shu_downunder Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share #47 Posted April 11, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just won an auction for a near new M246. I started this post thinking of M10/M10M.
