Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of LEICA CAMERA CM Professional Compact 35mm Camera
Customer Review: Do it in Digital full frame - this size
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had two of these, the first in black cover was stolen and replaced by a new special edition with red leather cover. As point and shoots go it was the best of them in combining size and capability, plus the invaluable override.
Why am I reviewing this seven years since I acquired a CM. Because for its type, it's never been surpassed. The lens exceeded any zoom in performance, producing crisp, very sharp and high contrast images, just brilliant to look at. While you might miss the flexibility of the zoom, the focal length was the most usable of primes.
I owned other Leicas, M classes and LTM, at the time and still do. The CM had the solid jewel quality of the LTMs and the optical finder that is so often missing from today's digital miniatures. And it was a full 35 mm -- while most digital cameras including DSLRs are from smaller to much smaller. The Point and Shoot digitals use minuscule sensors that are okay for fairly large prints. But day in and day out a properly exposed and shot CM image would go as large as any other 35 image. I would generally prefer to use the M series for film, but it didn't stash easily in a coat pocket.
Now I could live with the same size digital package as the CM with the full frame, pixels to fit the frame, a 40mm prime lens and a couple of whizz bangs to take advantage of digital qualities. Manual overrides as well.
