The M7 "Starter Set" is offered by Leica at a discounted rate to make it easier for new users to enter the Leica world.

The Leica M7 is a fantastic hybrid of classic Leica values with modern electronic advantages that results in a camera that is faster than ever while still having the soul of a Leica.

There is a certain feel to the mechanical operation of a Leica's functions that is oddly satisfying in an emotional context, and this is the essence of the Leica hallmark. That has not changed but instead, it's been infused with aperture-priority autoexposure, an informative viewfinder, high-speed flash synchronization and more. The M7 is as whisper-quiet and easy to focus as ever, it just does so with the speed and control that only modern accompaniments can give.

Large assortment of high performance lenses ranging from 21 to 135mm and speeds as fast as f/1.0
Extremely reliable performance
Electronically-controlled, rubberized cloth shutter is still remarkably quiet yet as accurate as a modern vertical-travel metal shutter
Flash speeds of up to 1/1000th second when combined with dedicated Metz units give the Leica shooter the option of daylight fill flash WITH large background-blurring apertures
Improved viewfinder still displays the classic frame lines and manual metering, yet unobtrusively provides information on shutter speeds, film speed setting, exposure mode & flash readiness along the bottom
Viewfinder information brightness is adjusted to match the ambient light conditions
DX film coding
Two all-mechanical shutter speeds of 1/60th & 1/125th second for batteryless performance
Stepless shutter speeds from 1/1000th to 32 seconds in aperture-priority autoexposure mode for quick adjustments with total control for the photographer
Retains the classic Leica M proportions shared by the M3, M4 & M6 series cameras
Type 35mm Interchangeable lens rangefinder camera
Lens Mount Leica M bayonet
Focus Modes Manual only
Exposure Modes Manual & Aperture-priority
Exposure Metering TTL (through-the-lens) selective centerweighted
Metering Range EV -2 To EV +20 with f/1.0 lens at ISO 100
ISO Range 6-6400 (DX coding with ISO from 25-5000)
Shutter Speed 1/1000th to 1 Second + Bulb

Comments about Leica M7 TTL .72 with 50mm f/2.0 M Lens Starter Set:

I have a Nikon D700, but decided I wanted to get back to film photography. I have always wished I could own a Leica rangfinder camera and finally took the plunge. I am still learning how to use a rangefinder camera.
I have been shooting color slide film, and B&W film, but have not have them processed yet.

The over all feeling of a Leica camera is a pure joy to use.

I am glad I made the investment.
