I just bought one but I am struggling to find a battery for it. Any suggestions?

I got some circle avery labels to laser print on. But i didn't put logo, just lens company/model/fstop/mm

Mine is also stiff.. but after daily use for a few months straight, it did loosen up. I no longer feel like im dream running in slow motion lol. I got mine for $185 used. Because I'm on a tight budget, its the entire reason I've been able to start using the M system. So I'm super happy it exists as an option.

From what I've read it's the strong anti aliasing filter over the Sony sensors. So cameras with a weak or better non aa filter will give you sharper images. Although I really liked using vintage lenses on my a7III and the results some years ago.

That much money for a 12 yo camera…

I have the 12 yearl old M240, I've been using it for several years. Like you I bought it used and I love it. I primarily use it for Street Photography and in Honky Tonk bars in Nashville. It's so small and stealthy that the bouncers don't stop me at the door. Occassionally I'll be asked to stop shooting inside, but often they don't even notice me because I'm very deliberate when I shoot. You are correct that 3200 is the max, but I try to keep it at 1600 by shooting wide open. I used Topaz AI software for noise reduction and sharpening. It's equivland to a M10 from a noise standpoint with the software help. Keep up the video work.

Great video, I like your philosophy. I’m a quite ancient art director/photographer recently converted to Leica. I have an M8 that I’ve fallen for big time. It’s set up in Profile 1 for monochrome and that’s where it stays mostly. I also have a Lumix GX8 that’s not seeing a lot of use lately but good to know it’s there for when it’s needed (One Point colour etc). My M8/Voigtländer 21/4 combo just makes me smile…✌️🇦🇺

M240’ still great camera in 2024. From France

Bought a 246 in 2024 and glad I did! Good video.

nice video! I’m watching from Germany. I wanted to comment regarding diversity and good stuff on the hand of Leica (note im not a POC). If you look into the current management of Leica camera AG, it’s not looking very good. They are part owned by a pretty questionable private equity company The parent company has also been accused of supplying military optics to places they shouldn’t (they deny this). Maybe the people who work in leica’s marketing department care about the good stuff but I think it’s clear that the company as a whole doesn’t. Which makes it hard for me to promote them. That being said, what you said about reassigning blame from the camera could also be applied here. The camera is just a tool; just the same as we can accept all responsibility for shots good and bad, we can also remove ourselves from what that brand stands for if we just like the thing. Its not like there’s ton of choice for digi rangefinders too.

I sold decades ago a M6 and few years ago a M240, for bad reasons. But I had the opportunity to bye a M262 with only 5000 clics 3 years ago with a 2nde hand summilux 50 and Elmarit 28. With a M camera it's the end of arm race. It's the most relaxing and generous camera I've ever had. However, I understand that it couldn't suit everybody or every kind of pictures.

Got my M 240 in 2014 and still use it almost every day and love it ..I don't mind Push ISO above 3200. It looks like film grain to me .. Have fun with yours man .. Good episode ..!!

How often do you use the lcd on the Leica rangefinder ? Debating on m240 or the crop sensor pixii

subscribing! i still use my mp240 and love it!

Hey, found your channel, because I'm thinking about to buy a Leica M240. So far loved your videos - thank you for sharing :)

Hi, excelent content, what kind of lights do you use with this Leica M240 in wedding work, for example with low light inside the church? Also how do you use this lens Sumicron 50mm with the Fujifilm XH1?

Manchester, England - the M-P 240 does have that same buffer issue but you really need to push it a lot to get to it

You can literally pick any Leica M camera M3 onwards and be sorted. The 240 is perfectly perfect for anyone looking to get into the M system.

Still shooting my pair of M240s and just love them.. The images are outstanding that I get from them. The lack of menu and operation with battery life to die for. Thanks

Yes. I prefer the M240's colours to those of the M10.

I have the exact same stuff focusing on my copy, which does deter me from using it. I’ve since added a Voigtlander 35 f1.5 that is smooth as silk…

lEICA M 240 is the most sofisticated M camera created, EVER!

Plato's, The Allegory of The Cave reminds me of our AI fuelled world view. We are chained to our devices run by AI, altering our perceptions, creating benchmarks digitallly altered we all now aim to pursue. Within this matrix enters the M240, a Sarah Connor camera hoping to bring back a vestige of semblance to an art once known as photography.

Love the vids bro. Keep them coming.

Nice video. I got the 262, it's kinda the same as the one you're reviewing and I'm super happy with it. Being a second camera (I use Canon R and R6 mk2 for work) it does absolutely everything I need in a Leica camera. Small, ultra portable, with the Voigtlander 40 1.4 it makes a perfect pocket setup. For me the ISO is fine also as I almost never use anything above 3200 (I can just shoot f1.4 in low light and its fine).

MP-240 and Leica 35mm Summicron ASPH V1. sometimes the quirks annoy the hell out of me, but I can't deny, when I nail the shot, no better feeling compared to any other camera I own!

Great Video! I too shoot with MP240 as my main camera. I use it for weddings, corporate shoots, documentary, street and just about any situation. Worth every penny for a camera that will never need an upgrade if you embrace all that it does and more importantly, what it doesn't do.

All my Leicas have frozen from the M8 all the way to the M11. Still sticking wit em though. I'm in California.

Great points bro! I have the original Leica Q and that thing has been an absolute beast but Im craving that range finder, simplistic approach to photography. There is beauty in knowing that shot came from within and feeling connected to your camera. I feel like that makes for better pictures or At least ones that you are more proud of. Now I got to see what my wallet can afford, maybe sell one of my cinema cameras or lenses 😭

Whats up! Still rocking my mp240. Keep up Ur Work Brother 🙏🏿 i posted a video last week with the mp240 🥹♥️

I've been thinking about getting my first digital Leica. 24MP is good enough for today. The M240 seems to be a bit bulky and has less features and less advanced sensor than the Leica Q, but the Q has the downside of having only one focal length. Maybe I'll just wait another ten years so I can afford the M10. 🤣

I especially like the Voigtlander 50 mm Heliar Classic SC f/1.5 on my M240 for color, and not over ISO 800.

Low light performance abysmal. Otherwise it can work

I use the A7C as my daily. I shoot M42 vintage glass. The adapter is obnoxiously thick, but the results are great. I've read the sensor stack thing as well... but I simply don't see it. I also shoot on a 42mpx A7Rii, and I don't see any issue there either. Maybe particular vintage lenses have issues? Maybe since I'm a street photographer, the fact that I'm always at F8, F11, or F16 has something to do with it. A7c plus vintage glass is good... but A7c plus modern manual primes is amazing. Voigtlander 21/3.5 Color Skopar, Voigtlander 40/1.2 Nokton... wooo, man. Best street setup I've ever used for sure. I still feel a tug for Leica. I have for years. But I do feel like I'm getting a lot of the experience with my current kit... with the upside of having stellar modern lenses with impeccable autofocus should I need that critical sharpness and performance level. As it stands, I have a range focus street monster that will keep me happy while I stalk an M11 Monochrome ha.

The M240/M-P240 rules! My main cameras as a press photographer. Remember: the quality will remain long after the price is forgotten. You can upgrade a 240 by fitting a magnifier to the viewfinder. The 1.4x gives you a more exact focusing. The M-P240 is superb. The M makes you planing your photography better and more relaxing.

I love the fuji system!!!!

DOPE!!!!!

HERE FOR IT!!!

Maybe get all those guys together who have the bigger platforms and help more inexperienced photographers get to that bigger platform level. Maybe give resources and provide legit education for the black community.

Just now starting but I’m out here in hawaii

35 mm f1.4 was one of the lens I had to let go for 16mm f1.4

Intrigued by the quality of your photos and Clean lookin video

nice cat, need more lighting and sound. Good review.

You should link up with Summer Winston. I just finished posting on her page as she asked where are the Black Photographers. I mentioned you in my post on her channel. Summer has a list of Black Photographers she features you should check out as well.

I'm a huge fan of covering all my gear in stickers as well. It's a great way to make your gear stand out, as well as brand yourself. You just reminded me that I need to replace my old stickers with my new logo!

My video lighting is trash but we gone figure it out lol
