Update on my broken 240...
Leica deem it not economical to repair (water damage). My insurance are buying me a new one. So it's all good basically.
Wanted to note how great Leica were, despite not being able to fix it. They picked it up, inspected it, and are sending it back - entirely free of charge. And they answered my various emails about my concerns and the process etc. This was bought second hand, out of warranty, so they don't "owe" me anything. They just seem to care about their customers, which I really liked.
edit: to clarify, my insurance are just sending me a cheque not a camera, but I'm just going to go out and buy exactly the same camera... 240 in black. Also considering the M-P 240, but they seem less easy to find, and not sure there is really any difference once using it.

Have you thought about an M 10?

I did / am. The cheque won't quite cover the M10, and whilst I could just pay a little extra, most of me thinks I'll just get an 240 and then have a nice trip somewhere... Plus, as a sad and boring photographer, one of the things I love most about the 240 is the battery life, which I hear isn't quite as good on the M10.

I saw this during my morning run, grabbed my camera when I got back home, and returned to take this shot before the clouds dissipated.

I fully agree! The M10 is tempting but I am now a film shooter.
Actually, I may just sell my M240 next spring and pick up an M10 if I can find one used.

I was super thrilled with the M246 and started wondering about a colour digi M since I have no interest in shooting film anymore. I like the idea of the M10, but am probably going to wait for a used 262/240 to come along

I haven't been posting family pictures, but here's one from some 40 years ago, shot in Chiang Mai with an M3 and a Summicron 50 lens on Kodachrome 25 film. This BEOON + M10 + Focotar 2 scan is better than what I was getting with the Imacon Precision III with its 6300ppi true optical resolution and 4.2 dMax, and required only minor adjustments to match the breathtaking colors of the Kodachrome 25 slide.

I really like the M 262 but the M 10 is a different beast all together. Way better high ISO and more responsive. Battery life isn't as good as the 262 but I just carry and extra as I do with the MM and the M-E.

Very evocative shots, Mitch
There really is a special quality to those old M3/6 shots and I think it's partly down to the lack of clinical precision - we do seem to be obsessed with sharpness these days. Of course Kodachrome was the best - topped Velvia for people shots in my opinion. These old film shots are timeless but digital is so much less bother. That said, I adored my M6, MP and CM but never really took to M digital (admittedly only had the M8). Just about to revert to Leica with the SL, albeit with M and R lenses rather than the native cannons. I'm particularly looking forward to trying out the R21-35 and Zeiss C-Sonnar 50/1.5.

Good to know, I also have the Xpro2 as my high iso body so never really thought about needing that in a Leica body necessarily.
