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.
