{"product_id":"leica-mp-0-72","title":"Leica MP 0.72 Black","description":"\u003ch2\u003eLeica MP 0.72 Black\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Leica MP is a supreme tool. Handcrafted, created for the photographic artist. Designed to deliver the essentials. Focused technology for focused photography, without the distraction of automation. It's for making pictures only a true photographer can see, frame, and record. Not a quick fling, but the camera for a lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePared down to the absolute essentials, the Leica MP is intuitive in operation but leaves all the crucial decisions and settings to the photographer. It is the classic, purely mechanical alternative to the Leica M7, a camera that offers added comfort and speed with its electronic shutter and aperture-priority metering system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe development of the Leica MP incorporates over 50 years of experience. It is the quintessential mechanical range\/viewfinder camera. It's an experience you will sense as soon as you hold this masterpiece in your hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Leica MP is ever reliable. It relies solely on the skill of the photographer and can be operated without batteries. The robust body can withstand the harshest conditions. And its controls are all metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Leica MP is built for long life and lasting value. This is guaranteed by Leica’s commitment to using only the finest materials and the highest precision manufacturing techniques. Time and time again, the Leica MP has proven its dependability under the most adverse conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Leica MP’s strong body – crafted exclusively in metal – will withstand the worst conditions without fail, and batteries are only needed for metering. In fact, skilled photographers can ignore electronics completely. Uncompromising dependability for all occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy definition, photography is writing with light, and the Leica MP enables the photographer to master even the most difficult lighting situations. The camera offers you complete creative control; its selective TTL metering system merely offers supporting data to help you choose the ideal exposure parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Leica MP is available in two different body finishes. After years of hard use, when a bit of bright brass begins to show through, it’s a sure sign to savvy photographers that the camera and its owner have shared many memorable experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact, analog rangefinder system camera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanically controlled closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith image field selector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith selective light meter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced design without Leica logo on the front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeica name on the top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"30\"\u003eWhat Our Experts Think\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"31\" data-end=\"501\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"31\" data-end=\"140\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"33\" data-end=\"140\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"33\" data-end=\"76\"\u003eTimeless classic 35 mm film rangefinder\u003c\/strong\u003e with Leica’s legendary build quality and precision mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"141\" data-end=\"257\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"143\" data-end=\"257\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"143\" data-end=\"176\"\u003e0.72 magnification viewfinder\u003c\/strong\u003e gives a balanced field for wide to standard lenses (ideal for 28 mm to 75 mm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"258\" data-end=\"345\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"260\" data-end=\"345\"\u003eFully \u003cstrong data-start=\"266\" data-end=\"290\"\u003emechanical operation\u003c\/strong\u003e with minimal electronics — pure shooting experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"346\" data-end=\"414\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"348\" data-end=\"414\"\u003eSleek black finish offers iconic style and understated elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"415\" data-end=\"501\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"417\" data-end=\"501\"\u003eExceptional choice for street, documentary, travel, and everyday film photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 data-start=\"503\" data-end=\"514\"\u003eQ\u0026amp;A\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"515\" data-end=\"978\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"515\" data-end=\"595\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"517\" data-end=\"595\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"517\" data-end=\"523\"\u003eQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e What film does it use?\u003cbr data-start=\"546\" data-end=\"549\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"551\" data-end=\"557\"\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard \u003cstrong data-start=\"567\" data-end=\"581\"\u003e35 mm film\u003c\/strong\u003e cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"596\" data-end=\"701\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"598\" data-end=\"701\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"598\" data-end=\"604\"\u003eQ:\u003c\/strong\u003e Do I need batteries?\u003cbr data-start=\"625\" data-end=\"628\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"630\" data-end=\"636\"\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e No — fully mechanical rangefinder;
