Description
Built from 2001 to 2011, the Leica M7 is nowadays somewhat overshadowed by the legendary Leica M6 and the Leica MP.
We think this is unjustified, because the M7 with its very quiet, almost noiseless shutter and aperture priority mode almost perfectly meets the requirements of reporters and photojournalists for a small, inconspicuous and reliable camera.
The aperture priority works continuously in a range from 1/1000 to 32 sec. and has been found by many users to be extremely precise and reliable.
However, the electronically formed shutter speeds also mean that the M7 works as intended with batteries inserted, only.
The mechanically formed shutter speeds 1/125th and 1/60th second are available at any time.
As with the Leica M6 TTL, the Leica M7 offers a choice of three different viewfinder magnifications to suit personal needs.
All in all, the Leica M7 is a perfect Leica reportage camera.
