Leica has launched a new Rangefinder Camera called the Leica M-E (Typ 240) into the M family. This is considered an affordable version for the majority, who want to join the Leica M family, but cannot reach the M10-P, still retains all the qualities that make the Leica’s famous camera line.

M-E (Typ 240) still has the familiar design of the M series, classic and simple. In terms of configuration, this rangefinder camera still has a 24MP full-frame sensor, but the ISO range is only between 200 and 6400. It has the ability to record Full-HD videos, 3fps continuous shooting, and 3″ 920k pixel LCD screen with a 0.68x-magnification viewfinder. Compared to the M10P, it loses in ISO range and continuous shooting speed, but has a red logo, the same M series and Leica said ME is also compatible with most lenses for its mount that it has ever produced.
