Product Description
Classics are works that clash with the present. They are never modified - instead they are re-interpreted on the basis of a changed world: With the LEICA M7, a classic celebrates a premiere. Convenience and fast operation of the camera have been enhanced even further with automatic shutter speed control and detail improvements. The Leica cloth focal plane shutter - with its vibration-free and quiet action is a must for a genuine Leica M camera - is now controlled electronically. Form, size and the proven operating concept were retained without changes. Virtually all system components of the preceding models remain compatible. Photography with the LEICA M7 is a surprisingly and yet unchanged experience. The Leica M7 is a rangefinder system camera with aperture priority for fast, intuitive photography. Like all Leica M cameras, its specialty is its concentration on essential photographic parameters, which makes it easy to use for beginners, too. Its main areas of application lie in reportage photography, available light shots and all other types of discreet, artistic-aesthetic image composition. The Leica Summicron M f/2/50 mm lens in the set is a compact universal lens. It has a built-in lens hood and offers outstanding imaging quality even at the nearest close-up setting.

Expensive, but still good introduction to Leica M system
This starter kit is aimed for the well-heeled amateur photographer who is interested in the finest 35mm camera available. Although Leica purists may say that the Leica MP is the finest, I disagree since the Leica M7 has more features, most notably aperture priority automation and TTL (Through The Lens) flash, for the same price as the all mechanical MP. Unfortunately, the bad news is that unlike the MP, this rangefinder camera is virtually dead except for two shutter speeds if your batteries die...
