I really like the shutter on the 262 and i didn't know it had a different sensor than the 240 has. Oh the street the shutter on my MM and M-E is noticeable by folks sometimes where the 262 is rarely noticed. I never use continues modes so I can't comment on that aspect.

The different sensor was mentioned in LFI magazine 1/2016, which is the reason it was given the 262 number instead of a 240 variation. I like the shutter sound too. It's less metallic than on the 240.

Thanks Edward. I did not know that it had a different sensor. I love my 262 BTW. Simple, easy and uncomplicated. Easy menus to negotiate. And it's an M (rangefinder).....

I have a feeling saturation issues are over.

I still pull it back some. Portraits I will pull back on the vibrance about -5 or so and usually about the same on saturation.

Thank you Charlie!
Haha yes you're right, back to normal saturation levels
I think the SL had an unfinished embedded profile, not bad in general, but some colors were too emphasized. The Adobe profile is much less saturated but I found the colors awful.Jun 28, 2016 at 08:51 PM

Gary I see the grounds are starting to take shape. Might be a good time so to speak to take my Monchrom out of mothballs (now that classes are done) and go do some shooting at the ye ole Stampede Corral. I like the 1st image at first it didn't register with me where it was as I kept looking thinking that is so familiar looking. Nicely rendered in B&W.

Great to hear from you Robert! Yes, the grounds are starting to get developed. I thought they would already have some rides being assembled but they did not. I will probably go one more time before they kick things off to hopefully get some behind the scenes action. Cheers.

Visited Central Park today. Trying to get closer and more bold for this street stuff (not so bold here), but my confidence ebbs and flows each day.

I find it hard to believe that it has a different sensor and has not been officially announced.
I didn't realize, but don't really have an interest beyond the few bits and pieces that I can't/won't sell.
Anyone doing side by sides?
I'm also not a huge fan of the SL (issues with Leica aside). I find the M-RF style shooting to be my preferred method. Even over AF cameras if I have the choice. Though given the chance, I think the SL could be a good system (it would need quite a few fast primes).
BTW good shots everyone! I've been lurking when I get internet (been traveling around Italy for work/pleasure) so haven't had to much time to chat.

I also tried to like the SL as much as possible but failed. I realized that RF is my most preferred way of shooting too. The M262 sensor has definitely different colors and slightly better IQ than the M240. This is my own experience and others' as well. The M262 sensor is not capable of LV and video. It's not software crippled, the hardware is different. It could be the same sensor as the M240 with some customization. It could be different but from the same manufacturer. It could be from a different supplier altogether. No body really knows except Leica
PS. One of the theories is that by removing the bits and parts that enabled video, the sensor has now less interferences and produces less noise and banding. I have no idea whether this is true or not.

Nice, what focal length did you use?
I find 75mm is nice for stand-off distance street photo.
It doesn't have the telephoto compression look, and can get you in closer to subjects a little further off
In some ways I prefer to go out with a combo of 28&75 now. This is after I shot 50 for 10+ years, and dabbled with 35 on&off..

Thanks Stephen. This was with a Zeiss 35mm f/2 wide open... incredible lens, but apparently a bit large in Leica land. I haven't even shot with anything else yet, because the M9 is my "fun" camera and I can't dump too much into it yet. Do you find your 75 difficult to focus at all?

The 35 biogon is a fantastic lens. If I had to choose only one lens for the rest of my life I will take this one
It's slightly longer than the summicron but finder blockage is very minimal.Jun 29, 2016 at 10:01 PM

Here's an excerpt from LFI. It's still ambiguous what he meant by technologically different, so we can only guess.
