The most professional among the compacts : LEICA CM
The letter “M” in the name of the new LEICA CM is eminently justified :
Its outstanding performance is unusual for a compact camera and
makes it as unique in its class as the Leica M cameras are in the cat-
egory of rangefinder photography. The LEICA CM has a solid titanium
body and is fabricated with precision craftsmanship in Germany. A Leica
lens with a speed of f/2.4 masters virtually every application and it
achieves impressive pictorial results with the finest nuances. Whether it
is used in the fully automatic mode or with manual settings – with its
extensive, easy-to-operate settings, this compact camera offers the best
conditions for individual picture composition. With its brilliant view-
finder, the subject coverage can be evaluated confidently, even under
poor light conditions. A detailed LED display in the viewfinder helps in
controlling the photographic parameters. And its looks ? Typically Leica !
The top quality 40 mm f/2.4 LEICA SUMMARIT lens
was improved even further for the LEICA CM : Innovative processes permit
multiple coatings on the 6 lens elements of high-grade optical glass. The suppression of reflections, optimized in this manner,
reduces degrading stray light, thus leading to outstanding sharpness and brilliance into the very corners of the image – even under
extreme light conditions such as backlit situations, for example. Every single lens is individually adjusted and balanced by our
specialists in Germany, who use complex processes to ensure the highest possible imaging performance. That is how we achieve
the image quality that you expect from a Leica, especially also for slide photography.
