M-A (Typ 127) Body Only - Black
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: 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. Lens Mount: Leica M bayonet Lens System: Leica M lenses from 16-135mm focal length Camera Type: Mechanical rangefinder Film Format: 35 mm Exposure Control: Manual (shutter speed on body only; aperture on attached lens) External Flash Connection: Hot shoe with center contact Flash Synchronization: With first curtain; up to 1/50 sec.
