With its exceptional sharpness, fine grain, and distinctive tonal gradation, extremely broad exposure latitude, and very good shadow detail, this black and white film soon became a firm favorite and a classic for art and reportage photography. Kodak Tri-X 400 film was also brought to life in 1954. The M-System is not the only photographic legend celebrating its 60th birthday in 2014. The favorite film of the analogue M: Kodak Tri-X 400 Viewed from the side, the M-A is also noticeably slimmer than its digital counterparts. For instance, the Leica red dot has been deliberately omitted to emphasise the classic restraint of its design as an ultimate expression of understatement. The exterior of the Leica M-A is as timeless as the precision engineering hidden inside. The acoustic signature of the shutter release of a Leica M-A is a delight that immediately reveals the precision-engineered excellence of its origin. Photographers can read the shutter speed and aperture directly from the camera and lens and so concentrate fully on their subject. It may have no monitor, no exposure meter, and no battery, but what it does have is a mechanical quality that makes Leica’s 100 years of experience instantly tangible. Pure Mechanical ExcellenceĪs a purely mechanical camera, the Leica M-A is a precision instrument that has been so dramatically reduced to the essentials that it opens up entirely new creative horizons for photographers. Unlike the analog Leica MP, the Leica M-A does not have a built in light meter.
Returning to the basic aspects of photography - focus, aperture and shutter speed, this analog camera stays true to the roots of photography. Leica Camera proudly presents the Leica M-A, an analog, fully mechanical camera body that works without a battery. A MASTERPIECE OF PRECISION-ENGINEERED PERFECTION
