I think they should have blacked out the lugs on the black version though.īut, regardless of the history and the changes what we have here is something special. Also, the black chrome around the shutter release is a really nifty touch. Firstly the leatherette is more of the classic style, which really suits the camera. It is not limited, it is available and it has a few subtle differences. It was a very desirable camera and is hard to find now.īut this is a different camera.
It was produced in a limited number of 500 sets and now commands very high prices. This camera was called the MP classic and came sans meter and in a numbered set with a matching black paint 50mm Summicron lens. But that was still not the first time we saw this camera.Ī few years ago (2004 to be precise), Leica made a special edition camera for the Chinese market commemorating 50 years of Leica rangefinder cameras. We actually got the first glimpse of this camera back when Leica release their 100th anniversary set, when it was released as a limited edition camera. This is Leica after all.īut this is not actually a new camera. This is not a cheap camera by any stretch, but then it was never going to be.
#Leica m a manual
So what is it? Well, it is a fully manual film camera, no meter no frills. Most of it is stuff that I really have no interest in, but a couple of announcements from Leica really piqued my interest. So I guess everyone knows by now about all of the new releases from Leica at Photokina, and if you don’t then you should probably check out Leicarumors for all of the details. You cannot have missed the news that Leica released a new film camera.
