BTW, I don't need manual to figure everything out. Minor complain is sometimes my nose or face hit LV button during shooting. Video button might get in the way during shooting I feel, but I haven't have problem with it so far.
Congrats Michael! You must have a very firm nose. Next time you're at the Leica Store, try the 28 Lux... OK, it's a bit big, but... 49mm filter size is a slight annoyance.

Both LV and video buttons can be disabled if you don't use them often.

Charlie, sorry to hear about another big fire!
TY Ron. Thankfully the wind has shifted in the last few days and we have much less smoke.
If only we put the resources into firefighting we do into the military. Early detection is fantastic now, but they do not have the manpower to get on all the new little fires and fight the big ones already going.
Ironically we need more fire do clean the forest floor, but not in August. Those operations do happen but only on a very small scale because it's very involved to approve and monitor.

Thanks Joe! How well do your kids handle flying halfway around the world?
Not very well, lots of candy and preparation and when we get there, takes a week for jet lag to settle down ... and the same when we get home .. we've been travelling long haul since they were infants, so it kind of gets easier each year..
Hello. My name is Jorge and i've recently acquired an M240. Here are some pics. I shot mostly in Midtown but wonder around Queens and Brooklyn on occasion. Anyways, here are some photos.

Many image samples around. Looks as good as any X2 photos.

Yeah, I wouldn't have a need for it but the feel and layout (for an underwater camera) seemed good. The small aperture dial next to the SS dial was cool.
Very observant, Gary. I hate shaving and it was an experiment to see if I could get by with weekly trims instead. So far it has stuck, though I think it looks better in the winter.

I think I could need one for the Thai water festival, for occasional beach trips, and for street photography on rainy days. However I have tried the X2 of a friend and didn't like the shooting experience.
