    Ooh, how do you like the M-E? I’ve been thinking about getting one. What was your deciding factor?

      It’s my first digital body and I’m not too precious about the sensor/look details between the different bodies after the M9. As long as it mounts my glass and I can play in Lightroom I’m happy.

      I got lost in all the breakdowns between the M8-11 minutiae. Eventually, I just set a budget and kept my eyes open for a body.

      I picked it up used at the Leica retail store in Soho NYC in better condition and pricing than I’d seen at Adorama and B&H for the same model.

      I don’t have much to compare it too beyond an M6 and I find it feels good and is solid as you’d expect from a Leica. It’s one sweet unit.

      Here is a pic of the body

        Yeah… I just really prefer all black. Even something without the red dot. Ideally the M-D without the rear LCD.

        I have an M4-P with a set of glass that I’d love to see on a full frame sensor. I mean, I have a Fuji X-Pro2 but you’re not getting the full character of the lens. With the M-E being one of the more accessible units, it’s on my short list. Although, I know I’m risking it not being the last Leica I purchase. I’ll take your experience as advice and just stick to a budget and hope / wait for the best. Might have to pay SoHo a visit sometime too (I’m in Philly).

          TBH, I wanted the MD as well, but couldn’t find one. The folks in the Soho store were lovely.
