That is the aim. I remember (around 1968), that a friend of mine has spent months of labour by upgrading his BMW with a 2.5 liter motor. Doing it by himself without the help of a motor vehicle workshop! So invest some time in a lection about soldering. Look for a processor, that fits your wishes. Invest further time in programming microprocessors. ........ Another way would be to wait till a Chinese startup offers such an upgrade. Somebody already produces copies of early Summicrons. See in the RRF. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianman Posted August 17, 2021 Share #27 Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) There are a few, not many, improvements that I wean think of. But nothing to make me want to stop using it. As mentioned previously, if weather sealing was available as an upgrade, I would go for it. But it’s been in my hands almost 12 years now and I have no intention or desire (gas/lust whatever it’s called) to get another digital M. The MF Hasselblad… now that’s a different story Edited August 17, 2021 by ianman 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgk Posted August 17, 2021 Share #28 Posted August 17, 2021 Still using my M9s. Still taking as good photos as any. Its quirks don't bother me. Happy with mine as they are. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Bonn Posted August 20, 2021 Share #30 Posted August 20, 2021 my m9 is like an old friend. i know what i'm getting with it and i'm happy with it. as noted above, why the **** can't the modern Ms can't start up as fast, far more useful than card writing speeds (OMMV) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelu2010 Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share #32 Posted September 4, 2021 So to keep the fire burning and your brains active this is what I found today. https://alexhude.github.io/2019/01/24/hacking-leica-m240.html Enjoy the ride..... My favorite sentence: End of story? Maybe not, because Leica used to put pretty weak CPUs in their cameras and XOR encryption was very popular at that time in consumer electronics, so I decided to write a simple XOR manipulation tool to compare the firmware with itself and calculate some statistics along the way. Yeah .... that's what I was talking about .... 😉 cheers have beer now (or a sauvignon blanc) Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
