Leica M-D (Typ 262)

The Leica M-D (Typ 262) rangefinder handles like a film camera but offers the convenience of digital capture.

Pure rangefinder experience. 24MP full-frame image sensor. Bright optical viewfinder. Brass construction with black paint finish.

Expensive. Omits auto ISO. Ultra-niche appeal.

Leica M-D (Typ 262) Review

Leica M (Typ 262) Review

The Typ 262 is either a streamlined and focused version of the Leica Typ 240Â or a lesser version depending on who you ask. The Typ 262 does not have the video, live view, or full menu system of the Typ 240, but the Typ 262 is around 100 grams lighter...
