Leica M (Typ 240) review: Keepin‘ it old-school | Ben Griffin
The Leica M (Typ 240) looks like it belongs in a museum. While the technology inside has moved with the times, including the transition from film to digital, Leica products share a common design style that has been maintained since the company’s first camera made in 1914. Except the Leica T, that is. Atop the metal case (available in chrome or black) is a twisty button for turning the Leica M on. Keep turning the dial and you can select continuous shoot mode and then finally a timer shot mode. To the left is another dial, which is there for shutter speed. It ranges from eight-second exposures to 4,000th of a second. An automatic mode can be selected but we found it was better to take control. On top is a standard horseshoe for adding a flash or other camera accessories. Nearby is a button marked ‚M‘ that lets you capture 1080p video at 25 frames-per-second. On the back is another dial used for a number of tasks such as zooming into photos during playback. On the left of the display are six buttons: LV (live view), Play (playback), Delete, ISO, Menu and Set. All are very accessible, as is the menu and set menu layouts, which you can scroll up and down through using a directional pad on the right………
