M (Typ 240) overview

The Leica M (Typ 240) is a 24 MP full-frame rangefinder for Leica M, announced by Leica in September 2012. It has been followed by the Leica M10.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light and bad weather. It is a weaker pick for slow handheld shots with unstabilised lenses, paid jobs that need a backup card and fast action.

No store we track in Australia lists it today. It is listed in the United States and Europe.

Worth comparing it with the Leica M10, Leica M10-P and Leica Q (Typ 116).

Low light & noise

6.0 µm pixels

24 MP on a full frame sensor, ISO up to 6,400

Bigger pixels gather more light each, so they tend to show less noise at high ISO, but sensor design matters as much. For real noise at ISO 6400, these sites measure it:
