The Leica M – Model 240
You waited a very long time for your new Leica to arrive. Finally it’s here! Of course you will attach modern APO Leica lenses to deliver the extraordinary quality you expect. If you have access to additional lenses and accessories usability of the new M is greatly expanded. Recently I fitted various “optical paraphenalia” to the new camera. Please refer to the following illustrations. Bellows units and long focal lengths are best employed with solid tripod support. The EV2 electronic viewfinder can be thought of as a “baby Visoflex”. Addition of the EV2 basically converts the Leica M into an SLR. Presently the new Leica R to M adapter is in preparation with delivery expected shortly.
The Leica M accepts rangefinder coupled lenses. With the EV2 and adapters Leica R and Visoflex are usable. Enjoy your new M and consider fitting equipment you already have. The possibilities appear endless. Consult your Leica Dealer for the adapter(s) you require.
