Leica. Oh Leica. Sixty years ago the journey of the M-Series began, and in celebration of this milestone, Leica has gone back to basics, stripping away the LCD screen while maintaining all the state of the art internals.
“With the Leica M Edition 60, photographers compose and frame each subject in the viewfinder, set the aperture and shutter speed and press the shutter release at the decisive moment. Instead of the constant distraction of technical features and the checking of menu settings and controls, they enjoy the freedom to concentrate completely on their subjects. With this concept, Leica is once again the synonym for an art in which technology plays a role subordinate to the essentially creative aspects of photography.”
It’s not a camera for anyone – certainly not with the $19,425 price point – but if you’re so inclined to buy it then you better hurry because only 600 units will be released in October. In the meantime, just sit back and enjoy the video.
