The Leica M (Typ 240) was first introduced in September of 2012, and is the successor the the Leica M9. The new Leica M is the most innovative and versatile M-Camera ever created. It unites decades of experience in rangefinder technology with groundbreaking digital technologies. The M (Typ 240) features a completely newly developed high-resolution 24 mega pixel full-format CMOS sensor that, in combination with its high-performance MAESTRO processor and the legendary M-Lenses, delivers outstanding imaging results. With Live View, FHD video, and new additional focusing aids, it is also the M for photographers who do not wish to miss out on any of what modern digital technology has to offer.
The Leica M is the first ever M to feature Live View and Live View Focusing. This means that now, for the first time, images can be composed using the actual image produced by the lens – with complete control of depth of field, exposure, precise framing and focusing. Its large, high-resolution 3" LCD allows precise assessment of the subject seen through the lens.
The Leica M is built without compromise for maximum stability and perfect sealing. Its top and base plates are machined from solid brass, and its full-metal body is manufactured in one piece from high-strength magnesium alloy. Specially designed rubber seals protect the camera body against dust and water spray. The glass covering plate of its high-resolution monitor screen is manufactured from particularly tough and scratch-resistant Corning® Gorilla® glass. All this makes the Leica M particularly resilient and helps guarantee it a long and reliable working life.
*The Leica M is compatible with almost all M mount lenses with some exceptions (see below) and most Leica R mount lenses with the appropriate adapter.
