One more innovative design element: The camera’s strap connectors simply click and lock into the sides of the camera body you don’t need to tie or buckle anything. With the new T-mount lenses, the camera has a focal-length multiplier of 1.5X. It has an entirely new lens mount, but Leica says there will be a separately sold adapter that will accept Leica-M glass. The new T series will sit right in the middle of Leica’s current camera hierarchy-below the company’s S series and M series, and above the Leica X and Lux lineups. The unused aluminum is melted back down and reused for subsequent T-series cameras. After the entire process is complete, that 3.5-pound hunk of metal is reduced to a sturdy 3.35-ounce frame. While the Leica T doesn’t take a century to hand-polish, it does take a very long time: 45 minutes per camera, according to the company. After the unibody design is milled by a machine, it’s finished by hand.

Leica is celebrating its 100th birthday by launching an entirely new camera system.
