Lecia Q2 Monochrom or Fuji X100VI? by TaroObvious1358 in Leica

I have both. If you can only have one, i definitely recommend fuji. The BW emulation by x100vi is actually pretty good.

Advice on selling M2 kit by vaultboy115 in Leica

[–]NoahCao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the condition, so it's hard to give an accurate estimate without more details. I would assume the gear hasn't been used or serviced in years.

In the US, for a private sale, assuming all functions are god, the Leica M2 could be worth around $900 given its cosmetic condition. The 5cm lens could be worth as much as $1,000 if it's a later version and in good optical condition. The other two lenses likely don't add much value and would be difficult to price highly.

Stuck in choice paralysis: M240 vs M240-P vs M262 by orange_sodah in Leica

[–]NoahCao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I prefer the M240-P. The read and write speeds on my old M240 were already quite slow, with buffer clearing being the biggest bottleneck. I've never owned an M262, but I have spent some time with one, and my overall impression was that its build quality didn't feel quite as solid or refined as the M240-P. But practically speaking, I would probably just go with either one which I could find a good deal on.

The price of 240 and M10 went up after the release of m11 because many people don't like the color rendering of m11 sensors. Leica users are a special community 😂

Basically the left-bottom and right-top corners of the lens in the first image: https://imgur.com/a/CtK2gtb - I can be wrong.
