Pure Mechanical Excellence
As a purely mechanical camera, the Leica M-A is a precision instrument that has been so dramatically reduced to the essentials that it opens up entirely new creative horizons for photographers. It may have no monitor, no exposure meter, and no battery, but what it does have is a mechanical quality that makes Leica’s 100 years of experience instantly tangible. Photographers can read the shutter speed and aperture directly from the camera and lens and so concentrate fully on their subject. The acoustic signature of the shutter release of a Leica M-A is a delight that immediately reveals the precision-engineered excellence of its origin.
Absolutely dependable

Form and function
The exterior of the Leica M-A is as timeless as the precision engineering hidden inside.
Two different finishes
The camera is available in two different finishes: the classic look of the silver chrome version continues the design tradition derived from 60 years of Leica M-Cameras.
M代表著……
歷史的見證者，經傳奇人物之手大放異彩。獨一無二的旁軸相機系統。
從1954年首款M相機推出至今，徠卡M以獨特的設計、德國製造品質和傳奇的徠卡品牌吸引了眾多攝影師和愛好者。只因M是無可替代的M，是始終如一的M。
Form and function in a perfect design
The exterior of the Leica M-A is as timeless as the precision engineering hidden inside. For instance, the Leica red dot has been deliberately omitted to emphasise the classic restraint of its design as an ultimate expression of understatement.
Available in silver chrome and black chrome
The camera is available in two different finishes: the classic look of the silver chrome version continues the design tradition derived from 60 years of Leica M-Cameras. While an engraving on the top plate of the silver chrome M-A indicates its origins, only a closer look at its black-coloured counterpart reveals the Leica logo on its accessory shoe.
The favorite film of the Leica M-A: Kodak Tri-X 400
With its exceptional sharpness, fine grain, and distinctive tonal gradation, extremely broad exposure latitude, and very good shadow detail, the Kodak Tri-X 400 black and white film soon became a firm favorite and a classic for art and reportage photography. And it is also the perfect partner for the Leica M-A – which explains why the Kodak Tri-X 400 film is included in the scope of delivery of the Leica M-A .
