Some further confusion because people made up extra ones too. Just think Monochrom. MM is just shorthand in the internet discussions I don't think that Leica Camera call it that. M10 is what most of us thought it would be but Leica Camera never used that. M typ 240 is their internal product nomenclature. Other models have their own number but they never intended to use those externally. Did you know what a typ 220 is? That is the M-E! People just adopted M 240 to try to make it clearer which they meant. Repeat after me ;-) Monochrom, M, M-E, Muddled, I don't think that the results from them will be muddled though. *If you want to take more interesting pictures, stand in front of more interesting stuff* -- Joe McNally Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 1 March 2013 06:39, Tina Manley <images at comporium.net> wrote: > If you Google Leica Monochrom, all of the reviews and sales that come up > call it the Leica M.
