Well, I haven't done anything incredibly foolish in the past few months so I feel the need to correct that.

Has anyone shot with an M-D (262). Something about it is just calling me. Oh, I know I shouldn't listen to the voices in my head...

Something like this;)

Yes, was reading the other thread. Seems to get a lot of strong opinions one way or the other. Guess that's to be expected of a unique camera
 
The M-D typ 262 is an excellent M. Using it side by side with the M-P model, I prefer it. It is less versatile, of course, without the Live View and video features of the M-P. But for what I want in an M, it is just right. It fits well in the hand, and works exactly as you would expect an M to work without additional features. The sensor is excellent, the image quality as well.

I really wanted the M 60, which was way outside my budget. So I determined to wait until Leica made it a production camera. Now it is here and I am still on the fence because I bought the M262 just before it came out.

It turns out that timing is everything.

All is not lost though since my M-A has no display screen either. :D

I'm going to sell the M-P. I find I like shooting with the M-D so much. The M-D works just the way I expect an M to work, and for anything else I prefer the SL.

I can certainly understand that. As much as I like the M262, I am sure the M-D would really be nice. But I am really kind of waiting for the minimal monochrom. Right now I'll "put up" with the 262 waiting for a new monochrom based on the M-D.

Of course a really nice, low shutter count M-D will probably show up in the classifieds and I'll cave, just before the M-D Monochrom arrives. :eek:

EDIT - Ah well, for the weekend my M262 and Elmar M 50/3.5 are bosom buddies.
