Leica M5 Specifications

Leica M5 Jubilee 50 Jahre

Leica M5

The M5 has a built in meter that works very well.  The meter is a match needle type which shows much more information at a glance than the current M6's LED lights.  The M5 is also the largest and heaviest camera of the M series.  People with large hands will like this camera.  It is an exceptional user camera, but get one now as prices keep going up.
