__New: LEICA MP

Leica Camera AG of Solms, Germany, is proud to 
announce the LEICA MP, a new tool for professional and 
dedicated amateur photographers. This purely mechanical 
rangefinder system camera is tailored entirely to the 
precise manual control of the photographically important 
parameters of time, aperture and focal plane. The 
photographer is not given any support, nor is he distracted 
by automatic program controls or options. If the 
photographer selects the shutter speed and the aperture, 
he or she will be completely independent of batteries. 
Rangefinding and exposure metering are of the very 
highest precision and have again been optimized.

__New: LEICAVIT

The LEICAVIT-M is a mechanical, battery-independent 
accessory for fast film transport with the LEICA MP 
rangefinder system camera. The LEICAVIT-M is attached 
to the camera, which is also mechanically operated, in 
place of the baseplate. The easy-access position of the 
wind lever under the camera enables the film to be 
advanced quickly and quietly without the photographer 
having to take his eye away from the camera viewfinder. 
This allows even greater spontaneity in reacting to sudden 
photographic situations.

__New: Limited anniversary edition:
    50 years of LEICA SUMMICRON f/2/50 mm

Leica Camera AG, Solms has launched a special limited 
edition of the standard LEICA SUMMICRON-M f/2/50 mm 
lens called "50 years of Summicron". The lenses of the 
anniversary edition are designed in a silver-chrome brass 
mount like the first retractable model of the Summicron 
series of 1953. The focusing and aperture rings are partly 
knurled as was customary at that time. The special edition 
"50 years of Summicron" will be delivered in a luxury 
presentation case together with a certificate personally 
signed by Hanns-Peter Cohn, CEO of  Leica Camera AG 
and Ralf Coenen, Vice President Technology of Leica 
Camera AG. The delivery also includes a matching metal 
cap with engraved classic Leica logo, an attachable metal 
lens hood with a cutout for an undisturbed view of the 
subject through the camera viewfinder and another cap for 
storing the lens with the lens hood mounted the other way 
round.
