Pros: Aesthetically beautiful, materials used, rangefinder and files never seen before.

Cons: Weight and hold at high iso.

Opinion: Nikonista for 30 years I bought the first Leica and it was a love at first sight. Beautiful aesthetically, to the touch, impeccable construction with the highest quality materials. But every love if supported only by the aesthetic aspect soon tends to wane, here is this Leica M (typ240) makes image quality its strong point. Churn out beautiful files, with a dynamic range never seen before, full colors, deep blacks, good white balance. The thing that surprised me the most is that raw files are ready already do not need post production. Of course Leica lenses contribute to increased quality, and I wondered it's worth buying a Leica body when you can mount lenses on any Mirrorless? The first thing I did just took the Leica was compare it with the Nikon Z6 using on both the Summicron-M 35mm f2 Asph, same subject, same shooting parameters, result? Better clarity, full colors and microcontrasto all in favor of Leica, in a nutshell the Leica sensor optimizes the quality of Leitz lenses. Another positive aspect is the Manual Focus. Yes, in a moment where technology uses EYE-AF even on the eye of animals, returning to hand sealing brings you back to the essence of photography and in this the rangefinder helps a lot. Essential and intuitive menu, all controls are at your fingertips. On the other hand, I put the weight on it, not exaggerated but I expected less, of course it is widely justified by the materials used. Another downside is the hold on high ISOs compared to the new mirrorless, up to 2400 good, at 3600 acceptable over mediocre. In conclusion, it is a camera for those who want from their device the essentials to photograph ensuring excellent quality. A contraindication: it is addictive.

Pros: Robustness, Value for a Leica, reliability, battery life, all brass and as it ages is also more beautiful, unique M with video mode, sapphire rear screen really anti-scratch that without protective film

Cons: Price of used however adequate to Leica, expensive accessories, no GPS, no connection with Smartphone, inadequate EVF viewfinder

Opinion: I had the MP240 for a year and I'm going to sell it reluctantly just because I took off the sphidness of a new M10P, actually there are no real differences between the MP240 and the M10P in terms of image quality, I can't talk much about the M10P yet, but of the MP240 I can tell you that I went from -20 of a cold Baltic Sea in Lithuania on New Year's Eve to .41 in Tunisia this summer , I went from a rainy and humid winter Germany to the dry and dusty Sahara without ever uncertainty and without ever missing a beat .... thanks to you I started and faked a photo book in 6 months (next release ... I hope ) .... never a problem and this convinced me to switch to a new digital M that I will keep for several years, I do not deny that the M10P has several advantages, but the price difference is not small

Pros: LiveView, optical viewfinder, LCD resolute, improved battery, LED frames, light meter to three options (spot, weighted, matrix)

Cons: Weight, Size, EVF viewfinder of poor quality, lack pose T (present on M9)

Opinion: It had for three months to replace my old Leica M9. At first glance the machine fills all the gaps of his predecessor, and you immediately notice a general responsiveness in both reading and writing, the ability to use the latest generation SD card, an LCD resolute and conveniently with the LiveView lens "accessory "as the 21mm and 90mm, where thanks to liveview you can do without external viewfinders to be put on the sled, so you have full control of the frame and fire thus avoiding parallax errors (optical wide) and errors fire (short telephoto lenses) .rnRispetto my M9 I found it too heavy and large, and all those megapixels combined with an optical rangefinder viewfinder 0.68x, have meant that we often had to fire or shake-problems. Also I could see that the .iso is not improved much, you gain 1 stop for color photos and 2 stops in white black, always in comparison with the old CCD M9 where one would stop to 800 iso.rnPersonalmente the M240 with its CMOS 24mpx it was not aroused strong emotions that I abandon all my old M9, where instead that because of its CCD sensor 18mpx is still a special car today. I think that the M240 was an attempt to counter leica a cutthroat market, creating something that would allow different uses (see possibility of useless video on M system). Not by chance after the M240, Leica has "baked" the M262 to maintain a minimalist and pure philosophy.

Pros: Size, quality, performance at high ISO

Cons: Design and weight

Opinion: When you pick up the heart beat and feel the urge to shoot you strong. I had one available for two days of workshops Leica Akademie and I can say that the rumors are true sometimes. Beautiful, both for feeling that for emotion transmitted. Menu, various settings, all very understandable. Incredible quality, the maf with a rangefinder system requires a bit of practice but if in doubt just start over. The viewfinder is large, the display as well, the ignition is fast and battery strong enough. HOWEVER, the beautiful design a limit has to have it .. Well .. The body weights and the grip is not the best .. From definitely revisit .. Many times I was afraid to see her fall tumbling to terra.rnIl judgment can only be positive .. It is a body that knows the town and there is a lot of fun using it!

Pros: Lightness, strength, excellent performance, ability to take high-quality optics not only M series, uniqueness and value over time.

Cons: Jpeg not up, the system limits rangefinder not autofocus that make it very suitable for many types of photography (sports, action, etc.), sensor easily sporcabile (when it is on the shutter open to allow the metering sensor, often changing optical accidentally with the machine switched on and with the sensor exposed) rn

Opinion: Camera heir of m8 and m9 and new end point of the Leica rangefinder camera. Personally, in the past I did use and abuse of reflex, I went back to get interested in photography, because of the simplicity and quality of the Leica M system manual, which allowed me, during various trips, to create excellent photos without having to absorb as pounds of equipment, as in the past. For me it was a revelation, both for the sense of freedom that comes from the lightness and compatteza equipment, both for the quality that express these machines coupled with Leica lenses, especially those of the past. You have to try it. Even in the past I was skeptical about the cameras of the German mark, but soon got hold I changed my mind and I could not go back. Certainly for certain genres and for daily professional use, I realize that you have to look elsewhere. It seems absurd today instead having to carry around, during leisure, those beasts ... and I do not mean only the cameras but also objected toyou. rnAndando right at M10 (M240 type) I have to say that I come from the M8, M9 and possess even one against which, no doubt have been made important steps forward. If certain that the CCD M9 gives denser picture and set low ISO, the M240 while remaining extremely simple (of course for those who have mastered the technique) adopt solutions that allow a wider use. Live view, bigger screen, electronic viewfinder, and especially ability to mount many optical level. The real difference from the M9 has the ability to shoot at high ISO, I would say up to 3,200, although you can go further. The range of situations in which you can photograph widens then quite a bit, not excelling in this area (high ISO), the M9. Personally I find relevant the possibility of automatic ISO according all'accoppiata time / aperture set manually. In any case the quality of the CMOS is not significantly lower than, at least so apparand from the results, the CCD. My opinion is that the beauty of the shots so prevalent depends on excellence leica optics, even those of the past. No coincidence that my favorite ones are the 70s / 80 still in perfect condition and necks can show a kind of three-dimensional image. Again you have to try, even I was skeptical punto.rnInfine, the feeling of challenging a number M, especially now that the competition is represented by plasticoni, is truly unique. It perceives the craftsmanship of the piece, for which the price, decidedly high, can not be a counter, however, the expected value over time. rnrnrnrnrn
