    Model Details

    Manual focus M-mount 35mm viewfinder camera introduced by Leica in 1959. It resembles the M2 but lacks the self-timer, rangefinder, field frame selector, and 90mm frame lines. The viewfinder has framelines for 35mm and 50mm lenses. The M1 experienced variation in design over the production period. Early cameras used a button for the rewind engagement, whereas later models changed to a lever. The "M1" logo is usually on the front of the camera, but is sometimes seen on top. Some special versions of the M1 without a viewfinder were also produced. Metal body available in silver (KOOCT / 10120).

      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.
