The Leica M Monochrom (Typ 246), Leica's dedicated black-and-white digital camera. This is the second-generation M Monochrom, with Leica product code 10930. The base body was changed from the M9 to the M240, and the sensor was upgraded from CCD to CMOS.
The 24-megapixel sensor, which eliminates the Bayer color filter array, is dedicated exclusively to monochrome photography, producing exceptionally sharp, highly detailed images.
This particular camera is an à la carte version featuring ostrich leather covering. The leather feels wonderfully comfortable in the hand, while its rounded, raised quill marks give the camera a distinctive appearance. An appealing choice for those looking for something a little different.
With the M240-based design, the M Monochrom also benefits from significant improvements in operating speed, stability, high-ISO performance, and maximum ISO sensitivity. The larger battery capacity also allows for plenty of shooting time.
Incidentally, the M240 series is the only generation of Leica M cameras capable of video recording, and the Typ 246 also offers this feature (in monochrome only, of course!). Enjoy creating distinctive videos with the unique character of vintage lenses!
This camera was previously sold by our shop and has now returned to us after being carefully used by its previous owner. It remains in the same excellent condition as when we last sold it.
Showing only the slightest signs of use, this camera retains much of its original, like-new appearance. There are only very faint scuffs on the top surface of the top cover and barely noticeable mounting marks around the lens mount. The ostrich leather is also in exceptionally beautiful condition.
All functions are working properly. The sensor is very clean, with no scratches or stains. Actual shooting tests also produced excellent results. The viewfinder is beautifully clear, offering excellent visibility.
Although our shop warranty covers initial defects only, the rangefinder arm was adjusted and the image sensor was cleaned by Leica Japan in April 2025, so you can use this camera with confidence.
Comes with the original box, instruction manual, inspection certificate, battery, charger, cable, strap, and body cap.
