You want this GoBox set from Wiha: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLTNKRQ6 Wiha is a German tool company, and the quality is outstanding.

Yes, sensors are, for the most part, out-resolving older lenses, and have been for a while. It doesn't make a 60mpix image into a 24mpix image, and it's not to say that the resulting images are inferior. I have not yet regretted a photo taken with an older lens on my M11 (although now that I have the new 35 Summilux, that's pretty much staying on my camera...) In general, the slightest movement or jostling of the camera while taking your shot will have a greater influence. Lens sharpness is measured in lp/mm, and it varies across the field and through the apertures. Lower priced lenses are tested to a certain level, perhaps 30 line pairs per millimeter. More expensive lenses are tested to higher resolutions, like 60-90 lp/mm. The companies don't ship lenses that don't meet their resolution criteria. Google "Airy disk", "Rayleigh criterion", and "modular transfer function" if you want to really grapple with the topic. http://www.normankoren.com/Tutorials/MTF.html is a good page. EDIT: A lot of sensors can out-resolve newer lenses, too, for given apertures. Older lenses also have more factors that can affect their resolution, like cleaning marks or fungus.

That's a good deal, I'd do it.

Laowa has a 14mm f4 for M mount if you need really wide for interiors. I use one for real estate photos, and it's perfectly fine. Super Elmar 21mm is a fantastic lens, if you don't need quite that wide.

A lot of people love the wides for landscapes, but they minimize the point of interest I want to feature, if it's far away. 35mm is much more flexible, very much an all-around lens that can do anything.

Low light performance has gotten better and better. The M11 is amazing. The M10 was pretty good, and a lot better than the M240, in my experience. M240 is also too fat: I like the film M proportions.

21mm Super Elmar is awesome. Highly recommend that one.

I think that may be it, some of the time. My nose does touch the screen relatively often. I'm ashamed to say, there have been a couple of times where it went to electronic shutter after several shots with mechanical shutter, and I thought it wasn't taking pictures. Found some on my card the other day, when I thought I had only taken a couple of shots, but there were several there. Never had an electronic shutter on an M before, it has caught me off guard.

Occasionally, the shutter button does nothing, just doesn't take a picture. I have to restart the camera to get it to work again. Does anyone else see this behavior?
-
Are you using a 6-bit encoded lens, so the camera can detect the focal length?
-
That's a little overwrought, man. Regular old camera stores get many hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment shipped to them all the time without incident. I have sent many eBay buyers Leica cameas and lenses with no problem. There is nothing uniquely magical about your cameras and lenses. Pack them well, insure them, and ship them.

I'm probably going to skip a generation. M10 is still awesome.
-
Good to know. Cannot stand live view shutter on the M10. Hate it hate it hate it. This sounds like a pass for me.

Thick like the 240... I much prefer the thin M10.
