Leica's mechanical M film rangefinder — hand-finished brass body for purist 35mm film photography.

The Leica MP launched in 2003 as a professional-grade mechanical 35mm film rangefinder. Named after 'Mechanical Perfection', it strips away electronics in favour of pure mechanical operation — a brass-bodied camera for film photography purists and Leica collectors.

Fully mechanical operation — the only electronics are the light meter. Shutter speeds from 1 second to 1/1000s plus bulb, all mechanically timed. Operates without batteries except for metering. The M-mount accepts all Leica M lenses — decades of compatible glass.

Brass body with chrome or black paint finish. M-mount. Mechanical shutter with cloth curtains. Built-in light meter (requires battery). 35mm film. Manual focus rangefinder. Metal film advance lever. 585g body only. Still in production.

Available used at luxury to collector prices — the MP holds value extremely well and some examples appreciate. Check for brassing, viewfinder clarity, and rangefinder calibration. The brass body develops a unique patina over time. For film photography purists and Leica collectors.
