It is a fine collection but they, the film cameras, were made to be used so sadly perhaps it is time to pass them to new hands. I hope that when you do sell them they get some more use.Leica cameras are, IMHO, "works of art" - my days of shooting film have long gone but I still find it difficult to part with the three film cameras, but at my age there is no point in keeping them

He said feeling slightly guilty for the relative lack of use his M2 sees these days, not that I don't still use film it is just that I am in a SLR mood at the moment.
So much to look at in that picture of every day life but the pigeons make it.
thank you very muchSo much to look at in that picture of every day life but the pigeons make it.
The m9, m9p and typ 220 all have the same FF CCD sensor, and yes if the sensor’s clucked Leica can’t help you.A question - when I look through my shots in LR - I keep going back to images that I have taken with my M8 and every time I pick up the camera I just realise how easy it is to use and how enjoyable it was to use - I like the colours that the M8 produces and the fact that you can take images at very low shutter speeds and they are still (in focus) with almost a character of their own.
I've been looking for an M9 ......... but a couple of M-E Type 220's have come up - I realise that the M9 has the same Kodak sensor as the M8, but FF, and that the Type 220 has a different, (CCD sensor? - or is it the same sensor as the M9?) - has anyone had the two and compared them, if so it would be great to hear your thoughts?
I have read about the sensor corrosion problems that some have had with their M9's and that although it can be fixed, (BUT just one company around that does it). the cost is £1,000+
(I also believe that Leica not longer repair/replace the M9 sensor - as no new sensors are available)
