Hi guys,
I've got an order in for a black Leica M 240 but i'm wondering whether I made the right choice. I have a few concerns. I've seen a 5 year old chrome M8 that looks basically new.
Does brassing significantly affect the resale value? I use my cameras heavily and when the time comes I will be selling this Leica to fund the next - however many year away that may be.
Is the new black paint finish much harder/stronger than the last?
Does either color usually command a higher resale value?
Since I spend a lot of time in developing countries, does anybody realistically think that the black (with taped logos) looks less expensive / stealthier?
I know these concerns might seem artificial and pedantic to some but being quite OCD they matter to me. Apologies.
