User Report: Iceland with the Leica M 240 | Alexandra Shapiro

…. I was fortunate enough to have received my Leica M240 (after having waited nearly 10 months) shortly before the trip, so I brought it with me along with three lenses: the 28 Summarit, the 90 Summicron, and the new Voigtlander Nokton 50 1.5. Of these, I used the 28 and 50 most — the 28 for the majority of landscapes, and the 50 for some landscapes and lots of people shots. The 90 is a great lens, but I didn’t end up using it that much, as it often seemed either too long or too short for what I wanted to shoot. For the trek, this was all I used as I wanted to travel light because I would be carrying it for miles of walking (I also had the Canon gear discussed below with me for the rest of the trip). A few words about the M: it is obviously a wonderful camera. I’ve used an M3 for years, but never had a digital Leica before. Ironically one of the reasons I had held out for the M was live view, but I actually found that I used the rangefinder for focusing more often. (The focus peaking is very faint, I found.) As for the lenses, the 28 is tiny and super-sharp and was just the right focal length for many of the shots of the unusual scenery. The Nokton has nice color rendition and great Bokeh (to my mind) especially wide open for portraits……
