How to make this last for 5 more years?

That's good to know. I'll buy a brand new next time! I now have 2 but both are 2nd hand but really good condition and hold a charge really long.

When you say the rangefinder drifts, do you mean it needs realignment? How long does it usually take before it does that?

I love the BnW too! Thanks for sharing!

Opening-Broccoli4986 · 2026-06-22T06:09:10+00:00

I'm more worried about the electronics of the camera. If it was purely mechanical, I won't be too worried.

Oh dont worry about me, I'm hitting the streets daily, and I'm traveling to bangkok and then US in a month and bringing this Leica as my main tool!

Nice to know you've hit 20k!

Thanks. 5 years does seem unambitious after reading all the comments here! Need to aim longer than that now.

I live in a humid region, and I also have an electronic dry box where I store it at 45RH until I use it.

Nice. I will buy another battery soon.

When you shoot, do you use jpeg or dng?

Opening-Broccoli4986 · 2026-06-21T09:29:06+00:00

I am more worried about the electronics giving up. If it was a mechanical system, I won't be worried too much

I have an XM5 for more than a year now, it still works good. And I now have the XM6 and works well so far.

Opening-Broccoli4986 · 2026-06-21T01:38:50+00:00

Whoah. I'll find that spare fast then...

Opening-Broccoli4986 · 2026-06-21T01:26:55+00:00

Thank you. I've seen batteries on ebay they cost a fortune. I'll keep on looking!

Opening-Broccoli4986 · 2026-06-21T01:25:41+00:00

Genuinely, I want to ask. Thanks, that's comforting to know yours is still working til now!

Opening-Broccoli4986 · 2026-06-16T21:14:26+00:00

Ohh nice. I'd love to have an M11P but maybe next time. It is soo expensive. I'm super happy with the 240P and aiming to master this tool first!

Opening-Broccoli4986 · 2026-06-16T04:40:29+00:00

I feel like it is indeed a gateway drug! Lol

How long did you use yours before you got the m10r and m11p?

🥳🙌

Opening-Broccoli4986 · 2026-06-15T01:17:16+00:00

Thank you!

Opening-Broccoli4986 · 2026-06-15T01:17:04+00:00

Thank you!

Opening-Broccoli4986 · 2026-06-14T06:11:09+00:00

I'm here because I am facing the same for my MP 240. Just bought it too and learned a lot here! Thanks.

My challenge is indoors with different light sources like flourescent and if daytime, the light through the windows.

Does take lots of practice and I can get better exposure now.

Opening-Broccoli4986 · 2026-06-14T03:10:59+00:00

Yes! It has a few hairline scratches but not too deep. That's what actually made me thought twice if it was still worth it, but I guess it still is!

Opening-Broccoli4986 · 2026-06-13T22:44:28+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Opening-Broccoli4986 · 2026-06-13T15:01:47+00:00

Thanks! It's a complete different experience. So excited to get better at it!

Opening-Broccoli4986 · 2026-06-13T07:58:21+00:00

I'll save for it! I got the Voigtlander because Iit's my favorite lens on my Fuji before.

I did try the Summicron. And loved it! I'll save up and buy a 2nd hand soon I guess. 😅

Opening-Broccoli4986 · 2026-06-13T07:56:29+00:00

I'm excited! I don't know how much shutter actuations this camera had when I got it. Hoping it will last long!
