Is the leica m p typ 240 good for beginners?

The M-P (Typ 240) is a capable camera, but I wouldn't call it an easy first camera. It's a rangefinder with a 24-megapixel full frame sensor, and it has no in-body stabilisation, so slow shutter speeds will need care. Its strengths are a bigger buffer and a sapphire-glass screen, and its lens range is huge. Most of that range is manual focus, though, so you'll be learning the rangefinder as you go.

If you do want one, start with the standard range. The Leica Tri-Elmar-M 28-35-50mm f/4 ASPH covers three common focal lengths in one lens, and the Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH is a sharp, versatile single focal length. For a cheaper option, try the 7Artisans M 35mm f/2.8.

Before you commit, read your first camera and buying used.
