Leica M9 Black Paint finish. Leitz product code 10704.
The first digital M-series Leica to feature a full-frame sensor.
Its CCD sensor, still passionately admired by core enthusiasts, produces uniquely beautiful color tones. Some of our staff continue to use it today.
While the controls may feel outdated, as one user aptly put it, the M9 is an electronic film camera. A fitting and humorous description.
There are some minor scratches on the side of the top cover near the shutter release, as well as light scuffs on the top, back, and front surfaces. The corner of the base plate also shows slight paint loss. Other than that, it is in quite good condition overall. It strikes a nice balance—comfortable to use without worry.
All functions operate correctly. Actual shooting tests yielded excellent results. Most importantly, the CCD sensor has been replaced with an upgraded version, and it is in very clean condition with no visible marks.
While the warranty only covers initial defects, the shutter count is just about 6,300 shots. The M9 series has served reliably as a demo unit in our store for years and has proven to be a trouble-free, dependable camera.
