| Leica CM Limited Edition |
Leica Camera AG, Solms, is now offering a special edition of its high-quality analog
compact camera LEICA CM with exclusive colored leather finish. Besides the standard
model in elegant black leather, the limited edition available from May 2006 onwards will
sport either red or cognac-brown leather. The nappa leather used here is also used for
the Leica M cameras in the Leica à la carte range and accentuates the high quality of
the LEICA CM in its sophisticated titanium body. The special edition includes also the
system flash LEICA SF 24 D titan. The LEICA CM is known for its fast lens and exceptional
optical performance. As well as convenient automatic functions, it also offers a wide
variety of manual controls. Individual aperture settings and manual focusing give the
photographer scope for creativityThe LEICA CM at a glance: ~ Made in Germany: A worldwide synonym for top technical performance. It also righteously applies to the LEICA CM, which is subject to the highest quality standards in optical and mechanical craftsmanship. ~ Clear information: The large illuminated LC-Display on the camera back keeps you informed at all times. Flash readiness, exposure over-ride, exposure counter, battery condition, selftimer, date setting and exposure mode are clearly legible. ~ Easy to operate and distinguish ergonomics ~ Large, bright viewfinder with diopter adjustment, close-up markings ~ Integrated viewfinder displays (like those on the LEICA M7) for aperture, shutter speed, flash and distance automatic mode or with manual settings. ~ Focusing aid for manual distance setting. ~ Manual setting of aperture (aperture priority) and manual focusing possible. ~ Powerful built-in flash with a guide number of 14. The flash also serves for automatic fill-in flash in backlit situations. ~ LEICA SF 24D dedicated flash unit available as an accessory. ~ Program shift The letter "M" in the name of the 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 category 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. And its looks? Typically Leica! |

About
Oskar Barnack's genius idea of creating the small format 35mm camera
created a revolution in photography in 1925, paving the way for the
birth of the Leica Legend. His diminutive, lightweight LEICA A offered
a new, undreamed-of freedom in reportage and artistic photography. From
that point to the present day, Leica has had a profound influence on our
view of the world we live in.
What was started in 1914 with the Ur-Leica quickly turned into a lasting
success. In 1932, around 90,000 cameras were already in use. By 1961, the
number had increased to a million. Milestones in the development include
the rangefinder cameras such as the legendary LEICA M3 in 1954 and the M6
in 1984. The R-System commenced in 1976 with the LEICA R3 - the first
electronic Leica. In 1989, the first compact point-and-shoot model entered
the market. 1998 also saw the launch of the first digital camera - the
LEICA DIGILUX. Without exception, all developments are focused on the
requirements of the user and are characterized by the highest quality,
focus on essential functions, and comfortable user-friendly controls.
