It feels incredibly substantial in the hand, offering a stability that helps with slower shutter speeds. The spot metering is particularly impressive—it’s very precise, making it a perfect tool for photographers who shoot slide film or high-contrast scenes where exposure accuracy is paramount. While it was the first 'electronic' Leica SLR, it retains a very mechanical soul; the winding lever and the clack of the shutter are pure Leica. It is an affordable gateway into the world of Leica R glass, which is currently seeing a massive resurgence among both film shooters and cinematographers.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The camera body shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its vintage age. Some small dents on top of the camera. The electronic shutter has been tested and fires accurately at all speeds, including the 'A' mode. The dual metering system is responsive and functional. The film transport and rewind mechanisms operate smoothly. The viewfinder is clear and the leatherette is in good condition.
