SYSTEM ACCESSORIES

INTERCHANGEABLE LENSES
The Leica M system provides a basis for optimum adaptation to
fast and unobtrusive photography. The range of lenses incorporates
focal lengths from 16 to 135mm and light intensities up to 1:0.95.
R ADAPTER M
The Leica R adapter M allows almost all Leica R lenses to be used
on the Leica M/M-P, i.e. regardless of the focal length, fixed focal
length or zoom, close up limit, with which actuating cam they are
equipped (SL "ramps" / R "steps") and whether or not they have a
ROM contact strip.
It is also possible to use these lenses in conjunction with Leica
Extender R models, and with close-up accessories such as the
Leica Macro Adapter R, Leica R intermediate rings and the R BR2
automatic bellows.
This enables the camera to be used for applications that are not
normally possible for a view and range finder camera, such as
pictures with extremely short or long focal lengths, and extreme
close up shots.

FILTERS
UVa filters and a universal polarization filter M are available for
current Leica M lenses fitted with standard filter thread sizes.
Note:
Leica UV/IR filters specially developed for use on the Leica M8
and M8.2 should not be used on the Leica M/M-P as they can
cause color shifts at the edges of pictures, particularly when using
wide angle lenses.
EVF2 ELECTRONIC VIEWFINDER
The EVF2 delivers almost 100% TTL reproduction of the image field
with a resolution of 1.4 megapixels. This allows easy and precise
picture composition and, at the same time, comprehensive control
of all relevant data. It is particularly useful when the lighting
conditions impair the visibility of the monitor screen and - thanks to
the pivoting eyepiece - for worm's eye view pictures.
(Order no. 18 753)
Note:
Make sure the flash shoe cover is always fitted when no
accessories are in use (such as a flash unit, an external viewfinder
or microphone). It will protect the socket 28 for a time against
water incursion.
