Yeah this kinda confirms what I’ve been weighing up for a couple of years. I’ve been coveting a Leica and Summilux 35.
Which model have you got? I don’t know enough about Leica really to distinguish which is the one to go for. I’m guessing the M10 or 11?
I see you can get a M9 for less than £2k these days. I’m not hugely bothered by megapixels so perhaps that’s a good option. The M10 is quite a step up in price.
@1981FXe sorry for my slow reply! I missed yours originally.
I've got the 240 & 246 but I've been contemplating downsizing to an m10m.
The m9 has got great color but is definitely showing its age a bit. The 240 series is still a great camera but it's heavy and bulky compared to either m10 or 11. Definitely has better battery life than the m10. Honestly can't really go wrong with any of them though, but would skip the m8 and be very careful about m9s to ensure you don't end up with a corroding sensor. I believe they are completely out of replacement sensors at this point. -

@weftyarn If you ever come to NYC,I'd be happy to take you on a NYC Subway photoshoot. Really great pictures.
Oh man, that would be so great!! I’ve never been to NY and will definitely let you know when it happens.
@weftyarn you'd love NY Subway (actually NYC!), some fantastic ops for some great street photography. Some I took last time there…

@pechelman thanks for the reply! Some great info. My head says get a newer one just to be on the safe side of future proofing. My bank account says otherwise!
Incredible shots, really really nice.

@Steve Not sure what you call it, but were you using film simulation settings?
. That’s a great question,as the pictures do look like old school analog film. I have a plug in for my software that allows my to access quite a lot of color and B&W films from different eras,which sometimes is overkill.

@Giles @Jett129 I don’t tend to have to do too much edit/filtering, With Fuji, at least with the x series cameras, use a different sensor than other manufacturers - normally a sensors pixels are uniformed but on the Fuji sensor they are random, so give more of an analogue result (at least that’s my understanding)

@Steve Awesome shots! Which boardwalk is that?

A Friday Night on Hollywood Blvd in October 2022. Shot on cinestill 800T film, Leica M6 and Summicron 50mm lens

@Jett129 That would be my guess too. Seaside Heights would be my second guess.

Thanks @Jett129 !

@GardenState @Jett129 yep, it was Coney Island, 4th July about 10 years ago (The Hot Dog eating competition at Nathans was something else!!!)
