10760. The first-generation Leica M Monochrom with a CCD sensor. This camera made a huge impact in the world of photography and is regarded as a masterpiece of the digital age. Even today, many photographers still prefer the CCD over CMOS sensors for their unique characteristics.
This particular camera has been used as a test model for real-world shooting and has been a personal favorite of staff members.
The image quality produced by the CCD M Monochrom remains one-of-a-kind. The rich tonal range, smoothness, and softness make it a joy to shoot, capturing a level of depth and nuance that is hard to match.
Although it is no longer covered under manufacturer warranty, the CCD sensor has been replaced with a model that addresses the peeling issue, allowing you to use this camera with peace of mind.
This Leica M Monochrom has been carefully used by its previous owner. There are light scuffs near the center of the top cover, around the power lever, and on the upper part of the rear LCD, but no significant scratches are present. The black chrome finish is still deep and rich, with only minimal fading at the edges.
The crucial CCD sensor was replaced with the updated version by Leica Japan in 2020, and it is in excellent condition with no dead pixels. It has been tested in real-world shooting and performs well, producing beautiful image quality.
The camera has only approximately 2,800 shutter actuations. The viewfinder is clear, and everything functions smoothly.
Included with the camera are the original box, charger, cables, and user manuals in both English and German. Additionally, two batteries are provided, making this an even more attractive offer.
This is a fantastic opportunity to experience the unique grayscale tones of the M Monochrom in excellent condition.
