Best for
A digital rangefinder for serious M-system photographers - fully manual focus via Leica's optical rangefinder, capable of using any Leica M-mount lens from 1954 to the present day. The M (Typ 240) was notable for adding 1080p video (rare on a Leica M), a 24MP sensor and live-view capability. Working tool for documentary, street, and deliberate photography.
Frequently asked questions
Does it autofocus?
No - Leica M bodies are manual-focus only, operated via an optical rangefinder. The rangefinder patch shows a split image that aligns when focus is correct. A deliberate, characterful way to shoot.
Will my Leica M lenses from the film era work?
Yes - M-mount lenses from 1954 to the present will mount and work on the M (Typ 240). Focus-coupling via the rangefinder works as on film M bodies. Older M39 screw-mount lenses work via an M-mount adapter.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
