I am even evaluating to go back to a M9p.
By the way there are some cmos which looks fine to me. The A900, the K5 looks ok and the 5dIII is not that bad in regards of color.
To me the “S” sensor still looks best in this regards. Thats why I hope Leica will stay with CCD in the S system.
The pinkish tint maybe coming from IR contamination . The M240 sensor cover glass appears to be weaker than the M9 ….tests with IR filters are showing its slight IR contamination . I did not see much or any of this in daylight shooting but every so often I get a capture that defies color balancing . Some M users are just reverting to IR filters when they are shooting under conditions where it really matters .
The trade off appears to be the performance of the wide angel lenses …thin glass …excellent wide angle performance …thicker glass …less IR .
The biggest advantage of the M240 for me has been the performance at ISO 1600 where the M9 was just terrible and the M240 is excellent . ISO1600 and a 1.4 summilux and I can handle most situations . If I could shoot at ISO640 or less..I would keep using the M9 .
