Leica M2 (Lever Rewind) (Silver, KOOHE / 10800 / 10300)

Manual focus M-mount 35mm rangefinder camera introduced by Leica in 1957. It was intended as a lower-cost alternative to the single-stroke M3. At launch, it was available without a self-timer, had an externally manually reset frame counter, a button rewind, and a 0.72x viewfinder with frame lines for 35mm, 50mm, and 90mm lenses. It became very popular due to its wide magnification finder and was known as the "wide-angle" Leica. The M2 experienced many changes over the production period and was given multiple designations to differentiate the models. The deciding factor for the designations was the presence, or lack of, a self-timer. This is the first version of the camera and was manufactured without a self-timer. This model has become known in catalogues as the M2X. A later special model introduced in 1962 also lacked the self-timer. Another significant change happened in 1958, when the button rewind was changed to a lever akin to the M3. This catalogue is for the lever rewind version. Metal body available in silver (KOOHE / 10800 /10300).
