I was ready to make the jump to getting a 240 but has anyone seen that the batteries have been discontinued? How has Leica allowed something to happen for a product still going strong 12 years later.

Like you, I am using M6 and M-E 240 in parallel. IMO the M 240 has the most unique color rendition which is similar to color film even with its CMOS sensor. No other digital camera I used offers something alike. Battery life is fantastic. I don't see the need to upgrade either. You mention increased film prices - correct - I added two years ago a used monochrome M 246 for this reason which is fantastic, too.

Bought a M monochrome (type 246) and fell in love with the Leica M system. After this experience I bought a M-P (Type 240) for all other pictures in Color. Love this cam. Carry and use it every day. Thanks for your video. Great work and pictures.

Loved watching your video and even more to listen to you ! I not often heard such a great description of “the Leica pleasure” , I totally share your feelings about the camera (even if I moved to the M11 😀)

Great video! I’ve enjoyed watching it. Subscribed!

THE LEICA M10: A DISCUSSION WITH STEFAN DANIEL AND JESKO VON OEYNHAUSEN In the interview, the following was mentioned: The M240 was definitely an improvement over the M9. Jesko: Yes. We improve from generation to generation, but I think there’s nothing that had to be improved compared to M 240 from the end users’ results. But I can tell you if you’re interested. If you look at the RAW files, the uncalibrated RAW files, from certain lenses that are critical, they have much less color shift or other issues, so the sensor is really solid. For users, it’s still interesting if they use Voightlander lenses for example. They might be much more usable now with this camera.

Billboards aren’t high res anyway to be fair haha, high megapixels is extremely overrated

Congrats on the new Leica. I've been using an M240 for a few years now and still absolutely adore the camera. It's still the camera I carry every single day.

Great video! out of curiosity what lens are you using?

I got myself a black M240 after almost landed on an M10. There's something about the M240 images that are more pleasing to me. The gripe that I have with this camera is mostly the buffer as it can make the camera freezes when doing burst shooting. Other than that, love the M240 very much!

Ooh, I’m intrigued. I still remember loving using my Mum’s old Kodak camera, then my next favourite Nikon D300 and 50mm f1.4 - that changed everything. I still use it for personal stuff but not as often as I’d like. The Sonys… technically useful… and there we have it. Catch up soon I hope, let me know if you’re around for a coffee in town.

Great video thank you for sharing !! Love having this kind of chill user experience feedback with a lot of REAL photographs, not just pictures you took in one week to review the camera 🙂By the way, what do you think about the 28 Nokton ? I'd love having you thoughts on it. I am use to the 28 Ultron II, which is already an amazing little gem !

m6 is the goat

Thank you for making a video about photography which features a lot of photos taken with the gear and not only close ups of the camera itself. Enjoyed it!

Stockpile those batteries! I’m up to 3 for my mp240, but agree that it pairs well with the M6. The most difficult thing about this is the battery barrier to me. Love this. Spoke to a guy in Leica San Francisco and we discussed the color science of their sensors from the M11 to the M240. He said that when they created this camera, Leica wanted to have it be close to an ektar look, which I see. Thought I’d share! Cheers.

My M, type 240, bought new 11 or 12 years ago was in my hands quite a lot to begin with. Then, as GAS took over, it found a quiet spot on the shelf. I started with an M9, which I remember gave me quite the nervous feeling going home with it. What did I just do?!? I just spent $7000 on a camera body, with no lens to go with it! I ended up loving that M9. Still have it, but the sensor is cracked and can not be fixed any longer. So, it now lives on my shelf. I totally agree with you on everything you have said. It's so interesting too, that I have reignited my love for the M240, I now take it with me everywhere. I don't always use it, but it's always with me. Like you say, the images are just outstanding. Once a person becomes one with the Leica M, it's something that cannot be put into words.

Couldn't agree more! I'm coming up on one year with my M240 and I love it to death. A lot of people don't really fully process what it means to shoot through an OVF with total control over the image yet no ability to actually see the image. The connection you need to core photography skills but, also, the world itself is really empowering. You're not shown a little preview on a tiny screen, you're not managing the camera's expectations of what you want in focus, etc. You're the creative force and the camera does nothing but step aside. All failures are yours, no implicit accountability on some tech failure. All successes are yours too, a perfect alignment of a patch, an exposure triangle, an understanding of light, and nailing the moment. To me, that's a door to flow time-- my measure of success when shooting. Really, really nice photos throughout this video. Perfect mix of technically nailed shots and shots which surely feel just like the moment. Easy subscribe 🤘

This video is far better than you give it credit. Great camera and great video. Keep up the good work my friend

Utterly beautiful.

Love this! Beautifully shot and beautifully acted.

Powerful!

Wooooow I love this. Soooo good.

Brilliant short film

This is superb, delicate, emotional and important. Amazing work.

Nuanced. Mature. Meaningful. Sophisticated. Those are just a few descriptors that make this video IMPORTANT, and clearly very effective.

Brilliant. Beautifully made. Super important film. Bravo all round 👏👏👏

Reductive. Naive. Superficial. Unsophisticated. Those are just a few descriptors that should make this video DANGEROUS, let alone inane.

!!!
