Leica "Like New" Black Leica M240 from Ace Photo on Amazon for $5990

[Amin]

Seems like a great deal from a good seller: Amazon.com : Leica 10770 M 24MP RangeFinder Camera with 3-Inch TFT LCD Screen - Body Only (Black) : Camera & Photo

I don't have the funds yet, but I thought I'd share it as the first post in our deals forum

Not too shabby. Could do worse on eBay that's for sure.

I just took the plunge and bought one on Ebay from Camera West: camerawestwc on eBay

Feeling a bit queasy about having spent this much on a camera!

*Jealous* I hope your M240 will be perfectly fine

I've purchased used equipment from camera west before (walnut creek store), and have been very pleased. IMHO, they are very conservative on how the grade their used equipment.

Don't worry. The queasy feeling will subside quickly enough. Besides, that Summilux deserves to be mounted on an M.

Congratulations on the purchase.

Cheers,

Thanks, all. I'm really excited!

You will love the M. IMHO, it is the best digital M. Image quality is great, specially at higher ISO. The shutter release sound is just nice and solid but very quiet. The Live View for me together with the ability to install an EVF just make the M a very flexible camera. Congratulations! Actually, the queasy feeling, is just excitement

You deserve it, and I'm glad the Leicaplace Site Owner has a Leica Again!

Congrats on getting a 240 after getting an ASPH Lux!

 

[carlb]

I think you'll like it. A lot.

Congrats for the purchase! I think the 240 opens the door to a new era in the Leica saga...less dependent on the rangefinder and capable to manage all sort of interesting lenses...

I received the camera today from Camera West. It looks brand spanking new. Box and all contents look like they have never been touched. Here she is:

Charging the battery now. Excited!

Looks beautiful- looking forward to some pictures with it!

What lenses did you keep from the M9?

 

[Amin]

Thanks, right now I just have the 35mm Summilux pictured and a 35mm Nokton. Plus a few non-rangefinder lenses I can mount for fun.

 

[carlb]

That's a gorgeous camera. Go, enjoy shooting it.

If you at all miss the quick versatility of a zoom, I can recommend the Leica 35-70mm R f4. Wonderfully sharp, and with a great macro as well. It's wonderful having a Leica-sharp zoom with great contrast on the full-frame M.

I think you will see your lens collection grow very fast. The flexibility of the M allows you to experiment.
