Experience the timeless art of photography with this fully mechanical 35mm film rangefinder, offering precise manual focus control, a bright 0.72x-magnification viewfinder, and compatibility with M-mount lenses, all in a durable, aesthetically minimal design that requires no batteries and focuses on essential photographic elements.
The Leica M-A (Typ 127) is a 35mm film rangefinder camera characterized by its simplicity and unobtrusiveness. As a completely mechanical camera, no battery is required for operation and the only exposure control offered is a choice of shutter speed, up to 1/1000 sec. A large, bright 0.72x-magnification viewfinder pairs with a precise rangefinder mechanism to enable comparative manual focusing control with M-mount lenses, along with parallax-corrected compositional framing. The body features black-colored chromed brass top and bottom covers, as well as an all-metal body design, to offer both durability as well as an aesthetic, minimal appearance. Designed for intuitiveness and efficient operability, the precision afforded by the M-A serves to complement a straight-forward working method.
A large, bright 0.72x-magnification viewfinder. Completely mechanical operation requires no battery and permits working with just the basic aspects of photography: shutter speed, aperture, and film speed. A rear ISO dial can be used to indicate the speed of film in use.
Permits selection of speeds from 1/1000 sec. to 1 sec., with a bulb setting also available for long exposures. Flash sync is available at all speeds up to 1/50 sec. The hot shoe incorporates a center contact for compatibility with a wide array of flashes. Compatible with all M-mount lenses ranging in focal lengths from 16mm to 135mm. Image field frame lines are automatically activated with each mounted lens, and offer an accurate, parallax-corrected reference for image composition. Alternatively, image field lines can be selected to pre-visualize the composition of other focal length lenses.
