So, after owning two m10's over the last couple years and selling them, I purchased an m240. I have to say, I feel more comfortable shooting this body over the m10. Something about it costing 1/2 of what my m10's cost. I'm not so "worried" I'm gonna ding my 6K investment.
Now for the interesting part. I actually like shooting the m240 better than the m10, it's cheaper, the IQ looks exactly the same to me and for some reason, it feels like I can focus the RF better with my old eyes. Doesn't make sense to me but it's...Show more →
Interesting to hear this perspective! Personally I like the vibrant colors in std mode from the M 240 a lot - not sure if this is still the case without additional PP from M 10 files. The difference for daylight shooting at lower ISO is likely very similar between both cameras. The rangefinder magnification in the M 240 is 0.68x whereas it is the "standard" 0.72x in the M 10 bodies. Not much difference. Both cameras have an eyepiece adjustment to -0.5 dpt (which by chance just fits my actual eyesight well). Is it possible that your M 240 camera has an accessory diopter glass inserted from a former user which also fits your eyesight better allowing you to focus better, too? I haven't encountered much difference regarding rangefinder patch focusing between my M 240 type camera with 0.68x magnification and my film-based M6 camera with 0.72x for example.

Yeah, I find myself doing no processing, like, no adjustments except converting to JPEGs or sliding the color off, actually quite a bit with the 240, must be it's processor, I have no idea actually, I'm not an engineer 
...but I do love the colors and look it's giving me so far.
It doesn't have a diopter screwed into the VF on the RF though, but, shooting it again last night seemed easier to get focus, less strain anyways.
I was thinking about it...Maybe I'm just getting better at using a rangefinder?
I pushed it up to 3200 ISO last night and it wasn't great, but I have an SL2s and 1Dx for that. It feels like the m240 is a perfect daytime walkaround for me.
