The M9 had better skin tones than the M240, but there were more differences that can be hard to describe in words. The rendering of the two bodies was sometimes impossible to combine in one series. When I used the two bodies simultaneously, I often struggled to get the images right in Lightroom. As a wedding photographer, I needed two camera bodies, so I brought my M9 as a backup. In fact, when the M240 came out, I could buy only one camera, due to availability.
The M9 had better skin tones than the M240…įor me, the difference in rendering between the M9 and M240 is quite obvious with my workflow in Lightroom. Sometimes it’s quite obvious, sometimes it is impossible to say. There are many threads where pictures have been taken with both a Leica M9 and a Leica M240, edited to make them look the same and finally posted online to make the viewer guess which picture was taken by the M9 and the M240. Thousands of threads have been written about this subject and quite a few people have tried to investigate this phenomenon. In spite of these ‘downsides’ (a downside is only a downside if it’s a downside for you, right?) the M9’s CCD offers something that no other CMOS sensor offers: a unique rendering. The M9 is pretty good in black and white too.
