The Leica M7 Discontinued: The Final Alphanumeric Leica Film Body

Auf Wiedersehen Leica M7. It's official, sort of. Although Leica has not announced it, it's clear that the most advanced film Leica M body ever made is now discontinued. That in itself isn't as significant as it is symbolic. It's the last Leica film body with an alphanumeric designation, beginning with the iconic M3. Since the M8 was the beginning of the digital M bodies, Leica has run out of numbers. This probably means there won't be a replacement of the M7, and leave the MP and MA as the only film body option for Leica film shooters.

If you're not into Leica M cameras or interested in new film bodies, you can probably skip this video. If you want to join me as I talk about the significance of the loss of the M7 in the Leica M lineup, join me, bring some cheese and crackers and I'll bring the whine. A full review of the Leica M7 coming up in a few weeks. Thanks for watching and happy shooting!
