It’s the cover glass on the sensor, not the sensor itself If what’s said is true, then this glass has been updated

Thanks Brian, I think I may have sponged up from somewhere that CMOS requires signal amplification and NR baked in at “ground zero” (ie ADC) by the vary nature of the chip, and that CCD doesn’t and this is the reason for the difference. Any truth to this?

Do note that I write this as someone who couldn’t afford an M10 even if they were on a 30% off sale :D A lot was made of the switch to CMOS with the 240. There is of course that blog post about ‘how to PP your 240 images to look like m9 ones’ But there’s more to the m9 look than the colour...

In the UK, my M9P, fresh back from Leica, with the new sensor, CLA, RF calibration, fully boxed + all original accessories and 1 year Leica backed warranty cost £500 more than a brand new Sony A7iii 500 is a big chunk of change. The A7iii is a far better spec'd camera. But if "you" really want...

I have both the fuji x-pro cameras, and I really rate them. But increasingly I seem to be reaching for my m9p which I really enjoying using and love the files from My main glass ceiling with the 9 is the iso. I recently(ish) picked up a 7artisans 50 f1.1 and although it’s not really any sort...

I certainly agree with the whole ‘m10 base iso’ thing being a non issue Pretty much every device has a sweet spot for settings and cameras are no different We don’t all need the max all the time, we just need to get what we want Most (all?) m10 usage reports are very positive and it’s great...

Are you using iso 100 or 200?

I had a LX3 back in the day, and I recall it very fondly! Some of my early Fuji compacts were CCD and about a year a ago Fuji asked me to complie a series of images from all the Fuji cameras I'd had (which is a lot :D) and the CCD images looked great It's hard to put into words (for me anyway)...

I looked at all of the Ms during that 3 years. I PERSONALLY came to the conclusion that ‘the best Leica’ rather came down to what one wanted in a Leica! I mean on paper the best one has to be the M240 right? Why? Well it’s got the most features :D But it’s also the biggest and heaviest. And...

I wanted an M9 for 3 years before I was able to get one. First there was not enough money! Then the sensor problem Then I relaxed because Leica was fixing the sensors forever Then they announced they weren’t fixing the sensors for ever... Then I decided “the time is now” deciding that I had...

One could also argue wait some months for the m10 to be freely available secondhand, then flip the 240 privately and need to find less cash to bridge the difference

If one buys a secondhand m10 tomorrow and flips it on Friday, then it won’t be a very expensive mistake. But long term digital M ownership suffers from depreciation just like all the other ditial cameras Used M240s go for about £2500 on ebay, and they’re still being sold new for about £5000...

Hahaha or not tempting fate

No I mean that had I written about how fuji fixed my eyecup the day afterwards, it would be lost the day after that! So I waited 10 months....

Thank you wanted to wait a while before writing that, lest I put on a jinx on my now out of warranty fuji and lost the eyecup! One area of the M9 that’s a great feeling after the XP1 is the comparative absence of shutter lag. It’s not that the shutter lag really stops you getting a shot (well...

Maybe an upgrade to the X-Pro2 would suit you better? I have an m9. It’s a camera with many limitations, and I find the pleasure comes from the challenge of working within them. I don’t have any experience of the m10, but the reviews are very positive. I tried the m240 but I didn’t really fall...

Personally I don’t think it’s a camera fault, more of a marketing line :) not only does ISO100 sound good, but it makes for easier math and industry standard ISO settings, if base iso is really 160 as per Sean Reid’s claim, then who wants to think in terms of 1.3 + 1 iso stops etc Although...

Take a shovel full of salt with this... but I’m sure I heard somewhere that although Leica state a base ISO of 100 for the M10 it’s really about 120, so when you set 100 it’s over exposing the shot and pulling the exposure down digitally a bit (like how ISO 80 works on an M9) Some folks have...
