Leica New 2014 M-P Type 240
- Thread starter terence19
- Start date
It is the “perfect understatement”… same as the M-240, but i) “P” = – red dot + leica script, ii) increase buffer memory to 2GB, and iii) frame selection lever.
“Announcing the next generation of the Leica rangefinder camera for professional photographers
Leica Camera announces the Leica M-P, the next model in the Leica rangefinder camera segment. Based on the otherwise identical Leica M, the Leica M-P offers all the technical advantages of the Leica M-System and several additional features, for example an enlarged buffer memory. The buffer memory capacity of the Leica M-P has been increased to 2 GB. The ‘P’ in the name of this camera indicates the particularly discreet and enduring design concept with which the Leica M-P joins the line of Leica M-Cameras conceived especially to fulfill the needs of professional photographers.
The unobtrusive and minimalistic look of the Leica M-P provides even greater discretion in decisive shooting situations. Many photographers who already use Leica M-Cameras actually tape over the red Leica logo to make their work as unobtrusive as possible. For this reason, this identifying feature has been omitted from the new rangefinder camera. Instead, the top plate of the camera is engraved with a subtle Leica script.
Other new details of the camera include a frame selection lever with which bright-line frames for six different focal lengths can be projected into the viewfinder to simulate subject framing. The corresponding frames are shown in pairs for the focal lengths 28 and 90 mm, 35 and 135 mm or 50 and 75 mm. This avoids the need to change lenses to assess suitable subject framing, offers greater creative freedom and allows photographers to concentrate fully on composing their pictures.
The Leica M-P is available now from authorized Leica dealers in two different versions: a black-paint version and a traditional silver chrome version.
