The Leica MP 0.72 is a supreme tool for image-making. As a pure mechanical alternative to the Leica M7, every component has been meticulously planned and placed within the camera body. If there was ever a camera system that truly summed up Leica’s 50 years of optical experience, it would be this MP 0.72. The optimised rangefinder provides high-accuracy focusing even under tricky lighting conditions. As well as a tactile ISO dial that sits centre stage upon the rear of the camera body. In essence, this allows you to focus upon the pure intimacy of photography without having to scroll through numerous settings and configurations. All operating elements are constructed from metal, which means the MP 0.72 can withstand constant operation in harsh conditions. This Leica film rangefinder camera is truly a companion for life; letting you focus on framing, composition, creativity, and everything in between.

The Meticulous M-Mount Range
The Leica M portfolio is a collection of lenses developed to fulfil the most stringent quality demands for both digital and analogue photography. Their image quality is second-to-none, pairing effortlessly with Leica’s range of compatible high-resolution camera systems. M-mount lenses were first made famous by street photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, and Sebastiao Salgado. Unrivalled in resolution, contrast, structure, tonal depth, and overall performance - the Leica M-mount range consists of a special breed of camera lens.
The Red Stamp of Approval
Leica stands as one of the most prestigious names in photography, responsible for some of the most memorable photographs in collective memory. The first fully-functioning 35mm camera was in fact a Leica, changing the game for the artistic and journalistic mediums of photography. These values are still held to a high esteem at Leica, with that same red dot sitting proudly upon the M10-R.
