Model Details

Manual focus M-mount 35mm rangefinder camera introduced by Leica in 2002. The M7 is similar to the M6 in appearance, but it added an electronic shutter control with automatic aperture priority. It has a circuit breaker switch around the shutter release button that also acts as a safety catch for the button itself. It was available in three configurations: a 0.72x viewfinder (framelines for 28/90mm, 35/135mm, and 50/75mm), a 0.58x viewfinder (framelines for 28/90mm, 35mm, and 50/75mm), and a 0.85x viewfinder (framelines for 35/135mm, 50/75mm, and 90mm). The 0.72x was available in black and silver, while the 0.58x and 0.85x were available in black only. The camera uses two CR1/3N lithium batteries. Metal body available in black (10505).

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.
