I love the concept of an LCD-less digital camera. I have been amazed at all the negative hype for such a concept. Now, the Leica M60 is a special edition stainless-steel camera beyond the reach of most to purchase. Besides, after spending that money, who would want to scuff it…
First 30 minutes with my Leica M240. Cold. Fingers numb outside. But great weight, great size and several immediate love items. The shutter sound is absolutely all is cracked up to be. It sounds very similar to my film Leica MP. No annoying spring rewind that the M8’s and M9’s…
