I have been reporting about the new Leica M-D Typ 262 camera for a while now. Here are the first pictures of the camera courtesy of www.rangefinder.com.hk.
Here is what to expect from the Leica M-D Typ 262 camera:
- The size and shape of the M-D will be the same as the M Typ 240/262.
- The lack of a LCD screen makes it feel smaller in the hand but is physically the same size.
- The top and bottom plates are rumored to be made from brass.
- The official announcement is rumored for the beginning of May.
- EU retail price: 5,940 Euros (around $6,700) – basically more expensive than the M Typ 262 model (currently priced at $5,195) even though the M-D will not have a LCD screen.
- Same sensor as the M 262 model.
- Strap lugs (the M 60 did not have it)
- Thumb dial
Stay tuned for more information.
