This question has come up a number of times before in this forum and ultimately the serial number cut-off for the M7 finder change is unclear. However, your number seems to fall into the cut-off range. Even if you contact Leica with the question they will not be able to tell you definitively as they did not record the numbers.

The Leica M7 is a 35 mmrangefinder camera introduced by Leica AG in 2002 as a direct successor to the M6. The electronic Leica M7 is a departure from previous mechanical designs for the M series.

Details[edit]

The M7 introduced auto-exposure in aperture priority mode: the user sets the aperture on the lens manually, and the camera chooses a shutter speed. Manual exposure is also available. The shutter is electronically controlled, but speeds of 1/60 and 1/125 of a second are mechanically governed if the battery fails. Like the M6 TTL, the M7 features an 'off' position on the shutter speed dial. The shutter release is redesigned with two distinct levels of pressure: the first detent locks the exposure reading, the second fires the shutter.

The M7 is also the first Leica M series to support film DX encoding and exposure compensation using the dial that has been on the back of Leica cameras since the M3. Originally used simply as a reminder of the sensitivity of the film, and then as film speed setting coupled to the light meter starting with the M6, the dial now controls exposure compensation on the M7.

The M7 offers viewfinders with magnifications 0.58, 0.72 (28 mm) and 0.85 (35 mm). The viewfinder optics are multicoated to reduce flare.

End of production[edit]

It's been reported on Red Dot Forum on 5/24/2018 that Leica has officially discontinued producing the M7 in both black and silver versions^[1][2]. There might be cameras in stock at retailers but no new cameras will be available once the current inventories are sold. No more orders are being taken for M7s through the 'a la carte' customization program.^[1][2]

In popular culture[edit]

The Leica M7 plays a key role in the movie EuroTrip. It also plays an important role in the movie Ted.^{[citation needed]}

• Lens mount - Leica M bayonet mount.
• Stabilization - None.
• Viewfinder - Optical x 0.72 magnification with automatic parallax corrected framelines. Custom versions with x 0.58 & 0.85 magnification are available from the manufacturer. LED symbol for battery status. LED light balance with two triangular LEDs and a central circular LED to adjust the exposure. Triangular LEDs give the required direction to rotate the aperture dial. The LEDs flash to warn that the brightness reading is above or below the metering range.
• Aspect ratio - 3:2
• Flash - hot shoe synchronization speed 1/50s, slower shutter speeds can be used with manual settings.
• Exposure compensation +/- 3EV in 1/3 EV increments or from 0 to –3 EV in 1 EV increments with computer control. Manual setting only.
• Film transport - Manual film loading after opening base plate and rear panel. Advance Manually with quick wind lever or LEICAVIT M or motorized using LEICA MOTOR M, LEICA WINDER-M, LEICA WINDER M4-P or LEICA WINDER M4-2 (from serial no. 10350). Rewind Manually with extending rewind button or rewind crank after turning R lever on front of camera. Frame counter On top of camera. Automatic reset after removing base plate.
• Film speed range - Choice of automatic setting from ISO 25/15° to ISO 5000/38° for DX coded films or manual setting from ISO 6/9° to ISO 6400/39°. Setting an additional exposure compensation (± 2 EV) allows speeds of ISO 1.5/3° to ISO 25000/45° to be used.
• Shutter - In automatic mode (AUTO) continuous from 32 s to 1/1000 s. In automatic mode (AUTO) continuous from 32 s to 1/1000 s. With manual setting 4 s to 1/1000 s in whole increments. Electronically controlled with two mechanically controlled shutter speeds, 1/60 s and 1/125 s. B for very long exposures of any duration, (1/50 s) for flash synchronization. Three stage: Power up Exposure value storage (in automatic mode) – Release Standard thread for cable release integrated.
• Exposure control - Choice of automatic control of shutter speed – with corresponding digital display – with manual aperture selection (automatic mode) or manual shutter speed and aperture setting with adjustment using LED light balance.
• Metering - Exposure metering through the lens (TTL), selectively with working aperture. Metering principle The light reflected by a metering spot in the center of the first shutter curtain. The metering spot has a diameter of 12 mm and thus corresponds to approx. 13% of the full film format or approx. 2/3 of the short side of the applicable bright line frame in the viewfinder. Metering range (for ISO 100/21°) From 0.03 to 125000 cd/m2 at room temperature, normal humidity and f/1.0. For ISO 100/21° this corresponds to EV-2 to 20 or f/1 and 4s (B setting) to f/32 and 1/1000s. Flashing of the left-hand triangular LED in the viewfinder indicates that the brightness reflected is below the metering range. Metering cell Silicon photodiode with focusing lens to the top left behind the bayonet.
