Features:
  • Unsurpassed mechanical precision and ruggedness
  • Unique ergonomic design and maximum operating convenience
  • 30 high-quality Leica-R-Lenses with focal lengths ranging from 16mm to 800mm
  • Comprehensive Leica-R accessory range for every facet of SLR photography
  • Compatibility of lenses for over than 30 years

Product Description
The LEICA R9 has been designed in such a way that it makes good sense for a photographer: it is not overloaded with technical features but carries everything which a photographer needs to control his/ her results. The basis philosophy is typical for Leica: you can operate the camera instinctively without moving your eyes from the viewfinder, where you have all important information permanently at sight. Thanks to its R bayonet, the LEICA R9 is compatible with virtually all R lenses made since 1965. Nearly all current Leica R lenses are equipped with ROM contacts, which establish specific communication between camera and lens, leading to perfect exposures. The illuminated display on the back cover, in addition to the viewfinder, is an information center on the LEICA R9. You then have a clear overview of all the current settings. It shows the number of exposed pictures, film speed, exposure correction settings and battery condition. You can also correct the exposure in the multi-pattern metering mode. An LCD exposure counter on the top of the camera is permanently visible as long as the camera is switched on. Accurate exposure metering and control are prerequisites for successful photographs. The LEICA R9 features selective, integral and sophisticated multi-pattern exposure metering whose level can be changed by tenths of a step. The result is optimal harmonization with the various types of films.

Features:

Amazon.com Product Description
Leica's M7 35mm compact rangefinder camera has been historically renowned for its build quality and outstanding performance, as field-tested by the most demanding photojournalists and avant-garde artists. The lens is built with the Leica M design and has a focal length of 21 to 135mm. All manual operations continue to be present, but this newest update now sports electronic control and operation with an on/off switch that starts it all.

You can now make automatic exposures with the stepless electronic shutter speed control with metered value storage. The cloth focal plane shutter has turned electronic, controlling exposure time silently and accurately. An unusual but undoubtedly useful feature is the viewfinder with LED display, a total of 33 different readings are visible to keep you on top of all the information.

With an additional flash unit installed, the second shutter curtain can trigger the flash. The two film-speed settings, manual and automatic, eliminate bad exposures that come from setting the wrong film speeds. Film loading, advance, and rewind remain manual for greater control.
