M-A (Typ 127) Body Only - Chrome 

Product Description:
After 14 years Leica Camera presents again a rangefinder film camera – the Leica M-A. The feature set is identical to the still available Leica MP but it doesn’t have exposure metering, battery or any electronics at all.

The Leica M-A isn’t completely new
Many of its components were used in the very first M cameras exactly as they are today.
No changes have been made to its mechanical way of working in the past 60 years and there won't be any reason to do so in the coming 60 years either.
The Leica M-A is the puristic perfection of analog photography and now symbolizes a precision-engineered return to the essence of the art of photography.
A stainless steel version of the Leica M-A was part of the Leica M Edition 100 introduced during the inauguration of the new Leica HQ in spring.
Parallax Correction
Horizontal and vertical offset between viewfinder and lens axis automatically compensated for
according to relevant distance setting. At the shortest possible distance for each focal length, the bright line frame size
corresponds to an image of approx. 23 x 35 mm.
When set to infinity, depending on the focal length between 9% (28mm) and 23% (135mm) more is captured by the film than is
shown in the corresponding bright line frame
Rangefinder Basis 49.9 mm (mechanical measurement basis of 69.25 mm x viewfinder magnification of 0.72x) Split or superimposed image rangefinder
shown as bright field in the center of the viewfinder image
