Most reviews of the new Leica M (Type 240) have included hastily snapped street or indoor shots rather than careful landscape photographs. I spent a weekend at the Cape Cod National Seashore with a friend, the new Leica M, and a bagful of lenses (16-18-21 WATE, Zeiss 35 Biogon, 50 Summicron, 90 Macro-Elmar, and 135 APO-Telyt). Except for a few quirks (like the awkwardly placed exposure compensation button) it was a pleasure to handle, and the image quality was outstanding: sharp, vivid, and free of noise. Here is a slideshow:

Very nice. Thanks for the share, I particularly like the morning view of the lighhtouse. You had two of my favorite lenses with you and they really shine through on this sensor

Those are lovely shots, Steve! Thanks for sharing those. Quite right too - you can get a better sense of the M from more careful shots.

Steve - these are fantastic. Did you use any ND or polarising filters or was it just the right time of day?

Love all these shots. Landscapes are totally not my thing. I am paralyzed and hapless unless I have a person in field of vision, so I really appreciate these. Inspiring.
