Leica M EV1 Mirrorless Camera Black 20229

The Leica M EV1 (ref. 20229) is a new black M-mount digital camera that swaps the classic optical rangefinder for a built-in electronic viewfinder. It is listed in new condition and suits photographers who want to use Leica M lenses with precise EVF focusing, including those who find rangefinder focusing slow or difficult.

Leica based the M EV1 on the M11 platform, including its 60MP full-frame sensor, but replaced the rangefinder window with a high-resolution electronic viewfinder that previews exposure and supports focus aids such as peaking and magnification. Focusing remains manual, as with every M body, and the camera accepts the full range of Leica M lenses plus adapted glass. The listing labels it a digital SLR, which is incorrect: it is a mirrorless camera with no mirror box. Expect a compact metal body built for street, travel and documentary work rather than fast-action autofocus shooting.
