The website seekinglight.net published few sample images taken with the new Leica M ($6,950). This is the second time images from the new M surface on the Internet. Here is a quote from the article:
These are from version 0.1.8.1 of the firmware. Dr. Rohde is very excited about the M240. He tells me that the color rendering, sharpness and clarity of the new Leica surpass those of the M8 and M9. He also tells me that the exposure meter is more accurate. So far the prototypes have been jpeg output only. I’m hoping to get DNGs as the firmware evolves and supports RAW output.
