New's hot off the press that the Leica M7 35mm rangefinder film camera will be discontinued and no longer in production. When you think about all the M film camera's that have been made its the end of a legacy of beautiful film cameras made by Leica and for some of us this is a sad day because M7 is the last in the number line of M's.
The M7 was unique because of the features it has as a film camera. Aperture priority and the DX function (Below photograph) allows ISO will set to the film choice when you load the film. The M7 is such a lovely film camera if you only want to take photographs in priority mode for stress free photography.
Other interesting facts the M7 has “High Speed Synchronisation flash” function. you can shoot with a flash at 1/250s, 1/500s or 1/1000s.
If I had to choose which Leica M in the series the M7 is no doubt at the top of my list along with the MP.
The good news MP and MA are still in production but will the M7 be a worthwhile investment or a bargain camera on the secondary market. Only time will tell but this avid photographer will be keeping his M7. The M7 is still one of the best film camera's I have ever used.
Whats your favourite M camera?
