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. |

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.
