The new Leica M# PhotoGear - 摄影器材

1 楼
The new Leica M is the most innovative and versatile M-Camera that the
modern M-System has ever created.
It unites decades of experience in rangefinder technology with
groundbreaking digital technologies: It features a completely newly
developed high-resolution full-format CMOS sensor that, in combination with
its high-performance processor and the legendary M-Lenses, delivers
outstanding imaging results. With Live View, video, and new additional
focusing methods, it is also the M for photographers who do not wish to miss
out on any of what modern digital technology has to offer.
Upper Normandy revisited - Magnum photographer Jean Gaumy returns to his
roots
As a change from travelling through distant countries, globetrotting Magnum
photographer Jean Gaumy captured impressions of his native region Upper
Normandy – for Leica. With the new Leica M in his luggage, he has created
an intensely personal ‘photo diary’ that provides an informal, almost
intimate, view of this coastal region and its inhabitants.
Leica Max 24 MP Sensor for maximum imaging quality
The Leica M features a completely newly designed high-resolution, 24
megapixel CMOS sensor in full 35 mm format. The combination of the camera’s
image processor and this Leica Max 24 MP sensor guarantees outstanding
imaging quality. Its intelligent design and flat pixel architecture enables
each individual pixel to gather a particularly large amount of light. This
results in images characterised by superior sharpness and maximum spatial
resolution. The new M delivers extremely low-noise and richly detailed
images, even at higher sensitivities of up to ISO 6400. And now, thanks to
the 1080 pixel, full-HD video capability of the Leica M, the impressive
imaging quality is available for moving pictures, too.
The new CMOS sensor is designed and constructed for the use of both Leica M
and R lenses on the Leica M. Because, with the new Leica R-Adapter M, almost
all Leica-R legacy lenses can be used on the Leica M expanding the options
of the Leica M into the world of Leica R photography.
Fast Leica Maestro image processor
In conjunction with the new sensor, the Leica Maestro processor lets the
Leica M set entirely new standards in terms of image-processing speed. It
processes the image data arriving from the sensor and transforms them into
visible images at extremely high speeds and can also perform even the most
complex processing steps very fast. Thanks to the energy-efficient imaging
electronics of the processor and sensor, a single charge of the Leica M’s
new 1800 mAh lithium-ion battery can last an extremely long time.
Universal capabilities with Live View and the electronic viewfinder
The new Leica M is the first ever M to feature Live View and Live View
Focusing. This means that now, for the first time, images can be composed
using the actual image produced by the lens – with complete control of
depth of field, exposure, precise framing and focusing. Its large, high-
resolution 3" monitor allows precise assessment of the subject seen through
the lens. This opens up entirely new opportunities for M-Photographers that
previously lay far beyond the limitations of rangefinder photography, like
macro and telephoto exposures, or using the monitor as a viewfinder.
Live View can be used with both M and R lenses. Indirectly, it also enables
owners of R lenses to use the optional Visoflex EVF2 electronic viewfinder.
The Leica M can be used with an R-Adapter, R-Lenses and a viewfinder exactly
like an SLR, without using the monitor.
Splash-proof camera body
Thanks to the many years of experience gathered by our engineers in the
construction of camera bodies, the new Leica M is built without compromise
for maximum stability and perfect sealing. Its top and base plates are
machined from solid brass, and its full-metal body is manufactured in one
piece from high-strength magnesium alloy. Specially designed rubber seals
protect the camera body against dust and water spray. The glass covering
plate of its high-resolution monitor screen is manufactured from
particularly tough and scratch-resistant Corning® Gorilla® glass.
All this makes the Leica M particularly resilient and helps guarantee it a
long and reliable working life.
