Price (S$): $43,000 nett
Description:
Leica rangefinders are world renowned for their build, reliability, and handling: a paragon of compact professional cameras. But even paragons can be improved upon--the Leica M9 Titanium Rangefinder Digital Camera Body W/35mm F/1.4 Lens is a limited edition (a total of 500 cameras, worldwide) design by Walter de Silva, chief designer for Audi automobiles. While the interior is an M9 all the way, all visible metal portions of the camera body and the included Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH lens are solid titanium--an extremely light, but very strong and durable metal. In addition, scratch-resistant sapphire-crystal glass is used as a protective cover for the camera monitor, and LED illumination of the bright-line frames in the viewfinder removes the necessity for a standard illuminating window. De Silva and his design team also developed an innovative camera carrying concept that is reduced to just a single mounting point on the camera body. The metal finger loop covered with Nappa leather ensures a secure, steady and ergonomic grip when shooting or carrying the camera with only one hand. Also new is the shoulder holster that holds and safely protects the camera and lens in transport.
Of course, like all M9s, this Titanium model is built around a proprietary 18.0 megapixel CCD image sensor, and delivers superb, high resolution imaging with exceptional color and contrast. Advanced microlens placement ensures precise light transmission with no discernable corner fall-off - even when using ultra wide-angle lenses.
"Messsucher", the "M" in the Leica M System, is a term describing the combination of rangefinder and viewfinder. True to the M legacy, the M9 maintains the classic form, control placement, and durability of its predecessors. Through a bright, oversized viewfinder the photographer can approach subjects with greater context and manual focusing flexibility. Without the finder blackout of traditional SLR cameras, shooting with the M9 allows users not only to capture the precise moment, but to truly experience it as well. Powerful yet highly portable, the Leica M9 is a precise photographic tool designed for discerning photographers and imaging professionals everywhere.
Full-Frame 35mm Sensor
The proprietary CCD sensor in the LEICA M9 boasts 18 megapixel resolution and allows for full utilization of the 35mm format. Utilizing a newly developed cover glass to eliminate infrared light contamination, the sensor provides stellar performance with Leica M lenses. The use of external UV/IR filters is not required.
Titanium Construction
All visible metal components of the camera body and included 35mm f/1.4 lens are made from solid titanium, an extremely light but very strong and durable metal.
Design by Walter de Silva
This limited edition (500 cameras total) was designed by Walter de Silva, chief designer of Audi automobiles.
Bright and Clear Viewfinder
Unlike SLR cameras, where light transmission to the eye is limited by the lens, Leica rangefinders provide fast and precise focusing through a constantly bright, oversized viewfinder - regardless of which lens is attached.
Quiet Shutter
The shutter of the M9 is exceptionally quiet. In Discreet Mode, the shutter is recocked only after the photographer's finger is removed from the shutter release. When longer exposure times are required, Soft Release Mode limits vibration for all-around sharper photos.
Intuitive Controls
Concentrate on taking pictures, not the controls. Time exposure is easily selected from an analogue dial atop the body. Aperture is set on the lens. The M9's intuitive four-way controller and dial provide easy navigation of menus and custom functions. ISO, playback, and exposure information are all available at the touch of a button.
Classic Rangefinder Design
Born from the great lineage of Leica M System cameras, the M9 maintains the classic form, control placement, and durability of its predecessors. Crafted from a high-strength magnesium alloy, with a brass top deck and bottom plate, the body provides excellent protection for its internal components.
Advanced Software
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom professional digital workflow solution is available as a free online download for both Mac and Windows based systems.
