Quite compact. Minimal distortion. Wide aperture. Sharp center even at f/1.4. Includes metal lens hood

Expensive. Edges suffer at wide apertures. Hood design makes filter use problematic

At $5,150 the Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH. is one of the more expensive lenses in available for rangefinder cameras. It's the fastest 35mm that Leica makes—if you want to capture more light, the Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f/1.2 II ($999) is...

Sharp from edge to edge. Wide aperture. No distortion. Compact. Smooth manual focus ring. Integrated lens hood

Expensive. Close focus limited to 1 meter. Lacks optical stabilization and autofocus

The Leica APO-Summicron-M 90mm f/2 ASPH. ($3,995) is a short telephoto lens for Leica M rangefinder cameras. It's quite sharp wide open, and enters into incredibly sharp territory when stopped down a bit. Its design is pretty compact when you consider...

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. Excellent build quality. Sharp rear LCD....

Very expensive. A little slow to start up. Manual focus only. 1080p video could be better.

Performance and Conclusions The M-P has a 2GB memory buffer, twice that of the original M. It doesn't improve start-up time; we still clocked that at 1.7 seconds, and the shot-to-shot time is still the same at about 3.2fps. But you can capture more...

Is the best at photographs

000 for a camera that isn’t made for quick focusing, action photos, videos of anything that moves, high-ISO shots, or fiscally responsible human beings? Tack on another few grand for a lens? You’re paying more for them to remove the red dot? You’re...

Classy raw files that are packed with information ; Lovely colour and contrast straight from the camera ; New rear screen is clear, bright and high resolution ; Pleasure-to-use body with first class lenses ; Live View makes longer lenses easier to use

Exposure compensation button not always easy to use ; Level tool only useful for tripod users ; Menu could be easier and quicker to navigate

Overall the Leica M 240 is an inspiring camera to use, from the design of the body to the feel of its controls. With its new sensor and processor it also performs extremely well, and produces images that match the body for quality. Its menu system...

Very expensive. A little slow to start up. Manual focus only. 1080p video could be better. Odd auto ISO exposure issue.

I sold my M9 last fall before heading to Mexico for the winter, anticipatingthat I would buy the new M when it came out. But now that I have had a chanceto use one -- albeit just for a day -- I am no longer in a great rushto actually buy one. I have a...

Move to CMOS sensor

No USB or HDMI connectivity

The combination of Leica’s incredible lenses, new full-frame sensor, and Maestro processor delivers high-quality files; however, it’s expensive and in need of a fix for some ergonomic problems. There are plenty of Leica aficionados that will readily...
