Leica MP 0.72 Black Paint
Mechanical perfection! Nothing less. The Leica MP is a handcrafted tool made for the professional photographer. Tuned to the decisive photographic parameters. Compact in form, sleek in design, clear, unobtrusive, calm, and reliable. Concentrated technology for concentrated photography, without the distraction of automation. For photos that only a photographer can see, compose, and capture. Modern yet retro, because the camera captures the present in a retro guise. Modern because the specifications are optimised. Traditional because it builds on the accumulated experience of the pioneer in 35mm camera construction. Not a photographic trend, but a camera for life!
Typically 'M'
The whisper-quiet, purely mechanical shutter of the Leica MP delivers vibration-free shots. Combined with the compact, extremely fast Leica lenses, this camera discreetly delivers the best pictorial results. Even in poor lighting conditions. Moreover, the system's compatibility policy allows for the use of virtually any M lens.
Leica essence
Reduced to the essentials! The camera concept of the Leica MP is tuned to the decisive photographic factors of sharpness, shutter speed, and aperture. The camera allows the photographer to focus entirely on working by hand, without being distracted by automation. The photographer has complete freedom to translate their creativity directly.
Mechanical perfection
100% mechanical! Anyone who appreciates mechanical perfection and robustness will enjoy the Leica MP. Through the use of high-quality materials and complex manufacturing processes, the Leica MP is designed for an extremely long lifespan. The Leica MP is independent of batteries, and all controls are made of metal, making it resistant to intensive use under extreme conditions. The compact LeicaVIT-M and the rewind crank are purely mechanical accessories that make the Leica MP an even higher-performing camera.
Optimised rangefinder
The Leica MP is handcrafted, tailored to the photographer's craft. It embodies the essence of over 50 years of experience in optics and mechanical design. Every component of the camera is carefully analysed and refined. The optimised rangefinder allows for highly precise focusing, even in difficult lighting conditions. Leica offers a five-year warranty to registered Leica owners. In addition, all services and replacement parts are guaranteed to be available for at least 30 years through the Leica Customer Service department.
Viewfinder magnifications
The Leica MP is available with three viewfinder magnifications: 0.58x, 0.72x, and 0.85x. This is ideally tailored to the wishes and needs of the photographer. The 0.58x magnification provides a good overview with wide-angle lenses and for spectacle wearers. The 0.72x is useful as a universal setting. The 0.85x is well suited for precise focusing with medium-focal-length lenses and Leica M telephoto lenses.
