Chronology of cameras Leica
With a rangefinder particularly bright, comfortable and accurate with parallax correction, this camera has a battery powered cell for a semi-automatic operating mode. The available light is measured on a white area of 12 mm in diameter in the middle of the first curtain. Of course, it is possible to operate on entirely manual mode. Film loading is (traditionally) by the sole, but a flap allows to check the suitable attachment of the primer.
The shutter speeds range from the second to 1 / 1000th with Bulb and flash sync at 1 / 50th of a second.
Beyond these technical considerations, one can linger on the Leica strategy which, since 2003, offers this camera that is intended to be a "mechanical alternative to the M7" to meet the particularly demanding wishes of some photographers . The casing is light-alloy die-cast, and each production step is carefully controlled.
Since 2004, this model is proposed fully customized and order can be placed through the Web, using a configurator that offers a choice of options, either aesthetic or functional:

No need to say, some options are charged for.
A good camera, good lens, in this case, it is a Summilux M 1: 1.4 / 50mm aspherical with a minimum focus of 0.70m with Leica M mount. According to the manufacturer, this lens, the successor to the 1962 model offers exceptional performance at all apertures and for all focus distances .
So it's a nice body and lens assembly that professionals or wealthy amateur can afford unless you have the extraordinary stroke of luck to find it in a garage sale for some tens of euro (believe me it is possible, however, when I think, I tell myself that day I was really on a winning streak!).
