Model Details

Manual focus M-mount 35mm rangefinder camera released by Leica in 1967. This camera replaced the M3 and M2, combining their features into one. It has a 0.72x magnification viewfinder with frame lines for 35mm, 50mm, 90mm, and 135mm focal lengths. It was the first camera to feature Leica’s quick-load mechanism and quicker rewinding knob. This black paint camera does not have a serial number, and thus its authenticity cannot be verified against Leica records. It's unclear whether this camera uses original spare parts or was repainted. Metal body available in black paint (10402).

Leica M

Leica’s M mount was introduced in 1953 alongside its first camera, the M3. Despite the rise of the SLR, Leica cameras have continued to succeed as their unique combination of build quality, speed, and discretion sets them apart from competition. The M bayonet mount, and the cameras introduced alongside it, offered (& continue to offer) a number of advantages over SLRs and other rangefinder cameras.

One big advantage is automatic framelines, which react to the lens on the camera to show accurate framelines in the viewfinder. This is even possible with older Leica Thread Mount (LTM) lenses if the correct adapter is used.

Other manufacturers, such as Cosina Voigtländer, Carl Zeiss, Konica, and Minolta, have also produced rangefinder cameras using Leica M mount.
