Description
Leica M-A (Typ 127) Overview
Focusing on the founding principles of photography, the Leica M-A (Typ 127) is a 35mm film rangefinder camera characterized by its simplicity and unobtrusiveness. As a completely mechanical camera, no battery is required for operation and the only exposure control offered is a choice of shutter speed, up to 1/1000 sec. A large, bright 0.72x-magnification viewfinder pairs with a precise rangefinder mechanism to enable comparative manual focusing control with M-mount lenses, along with parallax-corrected compositional framing. The body features black-colored chromed brass top and bottom covers, as well as an all-metal body design, to offer both durability as well as an aesthetic, minimal appearance. Designed for intuitiveness and efficient operability, the precision afforded by the M-A serves to complement a straight-forward working method.

Leica M-A (Typ 127) Reviews
the dream camera
if you like analog photography this is the best option, no light meter that distracts you from the subject, it's just you and your camera in the field, you don't have to worry about numbers on the screen or unnecessary batteries, the mechanism of this camera is totally beautiful and practical
What Cameras used to be
My first Leica was an M2, with a 50mm Summicron. This was 1962, and got me addicted to photography. After a lot of digital cameras, of so many types and varieties, I'm going back. Tri-X, scanned, we shall see Of course digital is easier, but like the simplicity and lack of choice of the taking.
Mechanical Greatness!
Excellent camera. It has a super bright rangefinder and crisp controls in all aspects. If you�re looking for a finely tuned, hand made camera to last you a lifetime, then this is the camera for you.
great Rangefinder
the shutter release and film advance are perfect. viewfinder very clear and bright. love it. only three rolls of tri-x so far. no issues.
Almost perfect
Anyone who is willing to pay the price for this camera expects nothing less than the best rangefinder. This camera feels incredibly well built. It's just beautiful. The film advance feels superb. However, when I finished my first roll, I noticed there was a grease mark (or a scratch) near the number 40 on the counter. Should I return the camera because of this? No. Does it affect the performance? No. Is it annoying? Yes! I know it's there and it drives me nuts just to think of it. I paid a lot expecting an immaculate camera. Leica left a hair in a very expensive soup and it just takes something away from the experience :(
THIRD M CAMERA
I have two m-6s; 72x and 85x viewfinders. I just dont have any feelings for digital. I shot professional video a few year ago, but gave it up and returned to the film roots of my youth. This is a great way to celebrate! ANALOG!
Great when it works but awful quality control
I love shooting Leica. I have owned most film M's and the build quality and shooting experience are incredible. However, the lack of quality control by Leica is quite concerning. I have purchased two new Leica M-A's that were faulty out of the box. The first one was suffering from a counter that was stuck. The second one had a faulty focusing mechanism where focusing from .7m to 1m was not working. Of course, both were replaced immediately but for this price, one would think Leica makes sure their precious film bodies are quality checked before they hit the shelves.
Yeah it's great
I'm enjoying my leica it is everything I need in a camera, I can not wait until my backordered Leica arrives. The sales staff at are great I enjoy my experiences with the helpful and kind demeanor they exude.
