Leica M Type 240 gets new kit!


Recommended Posts

The Anthracite 240 has proved to be a reliable performer for me but when I acquired it new I used my typical left eye orientation because of viewing problems with my right eye.

I also missed the form factor of my M3. M6 0.85 and M7’s due to lack of wind lever for my thumb purchase.

A new lens in my right eye, a MatchTechnical E-Clypse 1.45 variable diopter eyepiece along with a Thumbs-Up with Titanium Komura shutter release have made the camera much easier to use.

I typically use a 21mm f2.8 ASPH and zone focus outdoors at f8.0, but indoors at f2.8 was problematical because focusing was difficult.

The E-Clypse has made the focusing outdoors and inside much easier.

I have also added an EddyCam strap to replace the less than comfortable Leica supplied straps.

The EddyCam is much more comfortable.

Yesterday shooting a B29 and B24 at our local Airport was a breeze with these additions.
