| Description |
|
| Mechanical perfection. Nothing else.
The LEICA MP is a tool. Made by hand, created for the
photographer’s craft. Tailored to the decisive
photographic parameters. In compact form, with clean
design, clearly laid out. Unobtrusive, quiet, reliable.
Concentrated technology for concentrated photography,
without distraction by automation. For pictures that
only a photographer can see, compose and record. Modern,
because it captures the present. Current, because all
its features have been optimized. Traditional, because
it builds on the accumulated experiences of the pioneer
in 35 mm camera construction. Not a photographic whim,
but a camera for life. |

| Features |
|
The whisper-quiet, purely mechanical shutter
of the LEICA MP permits vibration-free exposures. In combination
with the compact, extremely fast Leica lenses it discreetly
delivers the best pictorial results, even under poor light
conditions. In addition, the consistent policy of system
compatibility permits the use of virtually every M lens
that was ever made.
Everyone who values optical/mechanical perfection and
robustness will love the LEICA MP. By means of the use
of high- rade materials and complex fabrication processes,
the MP is designed for extreme longevity. The MP is independent
of batteries and all its operating elements are made of
metal, so that it withstands heavy duty use under extreme
conditions. The compact manual film advance attachment
LEICAVIT-M and the rewind crank are purely mechanical
accessories that make the LEICA MP an even greater high
performer.
Built-in experience: The LEICA MP is manufactured by hand,
tailored to the craft of the photographer. It embodies
the essence of more than 50 years of experience in optics
and mechanical design. Every component of the camera was
analysed and improved meticulously. The optimised rangefinder
facilitates highly accurate focusing, even under difficult
light conditions. Leica offers a guarantee of up to five
years to registered owners. In addition all services and
replacement parts are guaranteed to be available for at
least 30 years at the Leica Customer Service Department.
The LEICA MP is available with the two viewfinder magnifications
of 0.58 x and 0.72 x. It is tailored ideally to the
preferences and needs of the photographer : The 0.58
x magnification for a great overview with wide-angle
lenses and for eyeglass wearers. 0.72 x as a universal
standard.
