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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eThe hammertone finish has been synonymous with technical aesthetics and exceptional durability since the 1930s. This finish covers the top plate and base plate of the Leica M-A Hammertone, giving them a distinctive texture. Each camera is different, making them all highly sought-after collector’s items.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"DE\" style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eThis purely mechanical analogue rangefinder camera entirely does away with automatic functions. Anyone using it takes full control of every aspect of the photography process. Aperture, shutter speed and film speed are deliberately selected, and the right moment is consciously captured. In this way, photography is reduced to its most fundamental form. The camera’s timeless design and precision engineering ensure it stands the test of time while steadily increasing in value.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"DE\" style=\"font-family: 'Aptos',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003eThe essentials:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic 35mm Rangefinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully Mechanical Operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.72x Bright Line Viewfinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal Plane Shutter: Up to 1\/1000 Sec.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, 35 mm rangefinder system camera with a mechanically controlled shutter\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoListParagraph\"\u003e\n\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eSpecial edition with a distinctive hammertone finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"DE\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoListParagraph\"\u003e\n\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eEach model is unique thanks to its individual paint finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"DE\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoListParagraph\"\u003e\n\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003ePurely mechanical analogue M-Camera\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"DE\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoListParagraph\"\u003e\n\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eBased on the Leica M-A from a technical standpoint\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoListParagraph\"\u003e\n\u003cspan lang=\"DE\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eTop plate and base plate made from solid brass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"DE\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoListParagraph\"\u003e\n\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eClassic cross knurling on the control elements\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"DE\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoListParagraph\"\u003e\n\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eShiny silver shutter release button\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"DE\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoListParagraph\"\u003e\n\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eBlack vulcanite-style leatherette covering\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"DE\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoListParagraph\"\u003e\n\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eWhite engravings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"DE\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Leica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50396146008341,"sku":"10380","price":11500.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/0252\/0085\/files\/10380_Leica_M-A_hammertone_front_1920px.webp?v=1794462625","url":"https:\/\/www.cameraelectronic.com.au\/products\/leica-m-a-hammertone","provider":"Camera Electronic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
