There are next to the magnification there are also diopter lenses for the Leica rangefinder. They simply screw on the back. My settings on my 240; Auto-ISO up to 3200; min shutterspeed /125; f stop depends on the situation. Set the metering to "classic" and the metering to center for much faster shooting. I never use liveview as it is slow and passes the intend of the camera for me. I love my M240 (i run a GFX for my other stuff, those colors are great); the feel of really creating the image is quite special. The Leica makes is more an event, a very conscious decision.

Hi I’m confused if I should buy x2 or lux6 ? Any suggestions

...great helpful review...

This is a beautiful camera to hold and look at. No EVF and poor bokeh are deal-breakers for me

Overpriced and lots of the usual Leica faults such as battery and card retainers breaking and continues since the x1 - this is why so many are for sale. Not good enough Leica!!!🤨

I have both the leica 10 and the 240. The focus is easier in the 10 but the image is much more digital more flat, not so natural and vivid. Kind a film image in the 240. So it’s a better camera at least for my style.

Like this one! I own the M240 and absolutely love the colors and feel of the files out of it. I also use Fuji; canon and Nikon. But for a faster street shooter I am considering a Q. But afraid I will be disappointed with the files being to "clean" and digital. How do you think the Q files and colors are compared to the 240? Is the Q better in that sense than the Fuji? (I think the Fujis to be to "flat" and green and cold. Thanks! Keep up the good work

I love my M262👏🏻🍀📸

If you are concerned about the "more grip" get the grip for the same camera. As far as the black buttons instead of the sliver ones, go and trade your m240 to the same but the more luxury version of the samr the LEICA MP, Type 240. It is all black, but also with the sapphire glass on the back screen.

Leave the camera turned on when doing your street photog.

nice video, considering picking one up , there if AF in film tho :)

Own it. Use it. Like it. But (if you're serious about buying it) don't let the youtube "I can't believe you're sleeping on this lens!" stuff remove all your critical faculties. It's nice and worth buying because Fuji don't really provide anything comparable or better in the 18-23mm range. But they could have made it so much better. The worst thing about it is the focus mechanism. It's jonky and almost completely useable in manual mode. The image quality is pretty good. But not as impressive as a lot of other fuji lenses I've used... especially in low light for some reason. One big positive is that if you pair it with one of the newer bodies... then the auto-focus performance is really good... so you now longer have to worry about manual micro-focusing.

Crazy thing is when you said $600-$700 for an x2 when this video was made. In 2022, they’re all going for around $900+ USD. Many of them around $1100 or so. Crazy to think an old digital camera going up in price instead of going down

Great video, thanks for sharing. I currently have a Q and an X1, but also got a Ricoh GRIII for fast street snap shooting. The X1 is too slow for that, even when the image quality in good lighting is beautiful. The Q is also amazing and fast, but not as pocketable as the GRIII and having both cameras with a 28mm equivalent made me think about switching from the Q to an M240 with a 35/50mm lens. Got a Sony for video and had Fuji cameras in the past, so I share some of your feelings. I hope I can get that M240 and enjoy the old school vibe of the RF.

What are your thoughts on this camera in 2022...? Did you shift to a Q or stay with the 'compact' X2? For me, the X2 still holds true as I can't see myself going to the Q, especially as I shoot with 'tact sharpness' is not important.

What film simulation settings where used with the xpro1?

it depends on the lens you have on for weight i have the leica Summarit 50mm on this thing and it makes the whole camera pretty light weight i wouldnt compare it anywhere close to a dslr.. unless you are slapping big heavy lenses on it

fix your color grading dude

You’ve got the M-bug too. That’s great 😀. I would dare you to stop using the evf and lcd. Learn to use the rangefinder. Otherwise you take away the point of using an M, according to me. Have you checked if the rangefinder is aligned? Compare two shots as you put it on a tripod. One with lcd/evf and one with the rangefinder. Maybee it is not you… The startup time is just as long on the M11…so it’s not only the old Leicas. I woud set the auto shut off on 5 min and then just leave the camera on as you go out. The battery will last the whole day anyway. Have one spare just to be sure. Learn to wake the camera by pushing the button firmley now and then if you are seeing things that might be worth shooting. Then it will be ready…

Alex On Streets almost had me convinced to buy one with his series of videos, but man the truth of 50% out of focus, makes you dizzy, and can't see well in lower light? I think it's not for me. It's too expensive for that to be the user experience. ✌️

I recently bought a used Leica X2 and it's become my everyday camera. It's so nice and compact without the external EVF.

What Halfcase are you using?

I just got one for only 35 euro oké oké it was sold as being defect but it only took me 5 minutes to fix it (battery holder was broken piece of paper fixed it) and there is a tiny line in the screen but i am not complaining 🤣must be the cheapest leica oke oke maybe not but must be close

The M240 is a perfect camera. You can get an eye piece with 1,4 x magnification to enhance focusing. If the camera is slow to start up, your battery may be a bit old or the software need an upgrade. If the SD-card is over 50 % loaded, it will slow the start-up. You should not exceed more than 32 GB cards. It's always a good idea to formate the SD-cards regular. Never have a lens cap on a rangefinder camera, you'll forget it and miss the shot. I've been shooting with M 240 for eight years now and recently got a second hand M-P 240 too. I have a Summilux 50/1.4 and a Summarit 90/2.5 plus a Q instead of a 28/1.4 Summilux. The M 240 is great fun and a solid tool. Enjoy your M 240 and keep on rolling. Thanks for sharing your POV.

Have been considering this little lens. Price, weight, and its F2 are top considerations. BTW - Have enjoyed your in-ear monitor reviews. Sold off all my pricey audio gear and kept a small IEM kit (Blessing 2, SSR, FH5S).

My m240 is couple of months old and I absolutely love it, it feels like my m6. The design, image output, and shooting experience inspire me to pick it up every time. Hope you have a lot of fun with yours man

Would you use an almost 10 year old camera? Photos Daily ➡️ instagram.com/zpoltphoto/

What’s the life expectancy for this camera)

Guru Bro, help!!! SOS. X2 at usd 480, worth it to buy ? Free used pvc 1/2 leather case. Free used hand strap. 😭😭😭😭😭 The firmware stops update at 1.2 version. Leica don't care about X2 already. The AF still crap with X2. The EVF costs an arm. The X2 sucks at taking sports photo or even capture a child is tough.... Shutter lag. Buffer. Lcd is ice age. Still worth it? Thanks

X1 or X2??

George likes 35 but not 28, he loves 50 but he hates 40,.. what profession does George have? For some weird reason most pros scoff at the 18 or 27mm (or 28 & 40 equivalent for that matter). I get it that there's less choice and they use these lengths mostly for pancakes, but claiming that some length is more creative or inspiring than another, I think it's all in their heads; you shoot more with a lenght, you get to know it better, that's all.

hi. ive been eyeing the rico griii, but ive read the issue with dust easily getting in the sensor. how real is this issue? thank you

Hey bro, how are you dark scenes so shark and non-noisy? Is that the moment lenses? Or a setting, insanely good man.

def under-rated... some people hate the 18mm ... it's the lens I find myself using most often...very versatile

Finally some love for the 18mm!! Love Fujis Pancake Lenses. I sold most Lenses i had and now running a very simple setup that works great for me. Rokinon 12mm F2 (Landscape etc.) Fuji 18mm F2 (Travel Allround) Fuji 27mm F2.8 (Also Allround) Pentax 55mm F1.8 Super Takumar (For the 85mm equivalent) For Sport+Wildlife Nikon D500 with 200-500mm

galing!!!

23 1.4 for me

Disappointing review, this could have been something for people to look for. Photos are small. You might as well put the photos as the size of a dot. Put images full size next time.

thanks bro!

Would you recommend getting an eyecup for that evf??

Awesome footage.... Good Job! ♡

The shutter lag and slow playback is not a "limitation". It's a design flaw. A real limitation would be something like having only 1 fixed lens since the camera has certain benefits fro that choice. There is no benefit at all to having a sluggish camera. It's a flaw that adds nothing to the experience or functionality of the camera.

I have XH1 with 18mm F2.0 and When I zoom int the image they are not sharp and kind of grainy.

Small question, does this camera have 'what you see is what you get' live view in manual mode ?

whats your setting for shooting video with xpro1

Cool Camera cek my channel BANDUNG CAMERA STYLE
