- Dimensions
- 8.7 x 9.0 x 15.2 cm
- Description
- Black Chrome 2-Lug Leica M5 with a black fabric carry strap [unattached] in a black leather carry case with strap. The camera has a removable plate on the bottom so that the film can be loaded - while the plate is off, a panel on the back of the camera can be opened to check the position of the film inside. Also on the back is the combined view and range finder in the top left corner and two small outlets for attachments [such as flashes and external lights] with a small black rubber dual plug. The top of the camera features the standard Leica attachment slot and shutter dial, but the M5 has an improved rapid transport lever to wind the shutter and advance the film faster than the M4 did. The camera is fit with a f=5 cm 1:2 lens with a black plastic filter attachment that also holds the black plastic lens cap in place. On the left-hand side are two vertical strap lugs for the fabric carry strap, between which is the housing for the self timer/internal flash battery. The leather carry case consists of two pieces: the base, which attaches to the camera via a screw that fits into the bottom right corner, and the removable lid that snaps onto the back of the base piece - the carry strap is attached with metal brackets to the upper part of the base piece.
