Leica M, Leica M-E, Leica S Hands-On - We have a look at the new Leica M, Leica M-E and Leica S Medium format Digital SLR at Photokina 2012.

Leica M 2012
The Leica M features advanced technology including Live View and Full HD video capability, plus compatibility with Leica R lenses, this is the most versatile model ever in the history of the Leica rangefinder camera. Available in silver chrome or black paint finish, from early 2013 at £5,100 inc VAT. It's shown here with a stereo microphone accessory, one that looks very similar to the Olympus PEN microphone accessory.

It completes the Leica M family, the M-E offers exceptional image quality combined with the distinct advantages of rangefinder photography, and a minimal, discreet design in anthracite grey (shown above). Available from September 2012 at £3,900 inc VAT.
