The Leica M is the epitome of a rangefinder camera. The iconic M-System has successfully merged tradition and innovation since 1954. It has inspired generations of photographers, shaped the culture of imagery, and set new standards time and time again. From the legendary M3 to the latest digital model, every Leica M embodies pure photographic perfection.
This book is also a huge ‘thank you’ to all the people who worked with the M and on the M: photographers, employees, customers, and friends of what we call ‘the Leica family'
An icon of photography: The M3 from 1954 set standards with its unique rangefinder and was continuously developed over the following decades. The M6 added integrated exposure metering, the M9 was the first digital full-frame rangefinder camera, and special editions like the M Monochrom revolutionised black-and-white photography.
In addition to publishing the book, we are also celebrating 70 years of the M-System with an extensive exhibition in Wetzlar, an exclusive M special edition set featuring an elegant platinum-plated finish and a special anniversary photo contest on the innovative Picter platform.
