There’s something quietly rebellious about selling a 14-year-old Leica… only to replace it with another 14-year-old Leica. In a world obsessed with spec sheets, stacked sensors, and firmware updates that promise to change your life, I found myself doubling down on something far simpler. I swapped my beloved Leica M-E Typ 220 for the Leica M240. On paper, it sounds like a lateral move. In reality, it feels like I’ve finally found my perfect digital M.
My Leica M-E Typ 220 was, and still is, a beautiful camera. That 18-megapixel full-frame CCD sensor has a rendering that borders on mythical. The colors have a Kodachrome-like warmth that feels almost filmic straight out of the camera.
