Product Overview

Leica M (Typ 240) is a rangefinder camera in the Leica M-mount system. Introduced by Leica in 2012, it comes with a full-frame sensor with 24 MP (5952 x 3976) resolution.
The Leica M Typ 240's 3.0 fps burst rate limits its use for certain types of photography, but it is hardly something that most photographers should worry about.
The Leica M Typ 240 was the intermediate "flagship" between the M9 and the M10.
