Leica has introduced a new M-E model designed to give users access to the M system at a lower price than would usually be required to buy one of its rangefinders. The M-E (Typ 240) replaces the M-E (Typ 220) first introduced in 2017 and delivers several upgraded features. The new model offers a 24MP CMOS sensor that matches the resolution of the top end M10-P but which has an ISO range limited to 200-6400.

The buffer for drive shooting and clearing images to the memory card is also increased to 2GB, allowing three frames per second, and this new model can shoot video-but only in 1080p FHD. A special grey anthracite paint coats the body of the camera, the rear display is a 3-inch 920k-dot screen and Leica claims the M-E (Typ 240) is dust and spray proof. The viewfinder has a 0.68x magnification.

Details are still a bit thin on the ground as Leica hasnīt released any further technical specifications yet, but retailers are advertising the M-E (Typ 240) for Ģ3500 / $3995 body only. The camera is set to be available at the end of July 2019.
