The Leica M 240 offers beautiful image quality, with files that are full of detail and flexibility, from a camera that is a pleasure to use. The introduction of modern technology makes all the difference. M9 users might find upgrading to the M 240 a litt...

Abstract: While the rest of us struggle to stay true to our New Year's resolutions, Leica has managed to slim down its newest digital rangefinder, bringing the new M10 in at 1/8-inch thinner than its predecessor (the M Typ 240). With its newly slimmed form, the M10...

Although the Leica Q's sensor performance hinted at the direction Leica was taking, the Leica SL sensor improves on that. Such improvement might be only in some small way, but it is quantifiable. With impressive still capability surpassing that of many hi...

Abstract: The good news is that used with the internal optical finder, the M 240 is fast and quiet, much quieter than the clattery M9 ever was, but used with the EVF, the M 240 becomes almost as slow and clumsy as shooting a 4x5" camera because of all the button pushes it always seem to take to turn it on or off (there is no eye control), and like a 4x5, the results are unfortunately so good that we put up with it. New for LEICA, the M 240 with external finder is an ergonomic nightmare, and like 4x5, the results are worth it for nature and landscape shots....

Big, bright optical viewfinder. Large, high-contrast rangefinder focusing patch. Full-frame CMOS image sensor. Compact for a full-frame camera. Live view with focus peaking. Detailed images at every ISO. Impressive build quality. Sharp rear LCD. Resistant
Very expensive. A little slow to start up. Manual focus only. 1080p video could be better. Odd auto ISO exposure issue
The Leica M (Typ 240) is the camera that many a rangefinder photographer has been waiting for. It fixes many of the issues of previous models, but it doesn't come cheap....
Delivers highquality blackandwhite images with depth of information, simple, mostly manual user interface, no lag time, rangefinder viewfinder does not black out during exposure, compatible with some of the best prime lenses in the universe
Despite its exorbitant price and same-old, same-old Leica M eccentricities, the M Monochrom does deliver unprecedented black-and-white image quality that, among other things, shows how good Leica lenses really are. Is it worth the big bucks? That's your c...
