Leica M2 - Camera

Leica M2 - Camera

Manual focus M mount 35mm rangefinder camera released by Leica in 1957. It was intended as a lower-cost alternative to the M3 but became very popular in its own right largely due to its wider 0.72x magnification viewfinder. This finder can accommodate 35mm frame lines without accessory viewfinders or goggles, making the M2 slightly more versatile than the M3. Brass body available in silver and black paint.

  • Shutter: Horizontal cloth focal plane, 1s - 1/1000s + B
  • ISO range: 4 - 1300 (Reminder only)
  • Size: 137 x 77 x 40 mm
  • Weight: 570g

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.
