You also have the pleasure of working with a thoroughly unique camera. From
macro to ultra-wide to super telephoto, Leica R lenses, based on decades of
proven performance, will deliver outstanding optical quality whichever capture
mode you choose.
Full control: A great viewfinder
The R9's brilliant, high-contrast viewfinder image is a perfect framing and control tool, a crucial asset in composing, focusing, assessing the image and checking depth of field. The exceptional brilliance of the image quality offered by the Leica R lenses is also revealed at the first glance through the viewfinder.
The viewfinder displays located beneath the image, clearly readable in all conditions, present all the relevant information instantly. The built-in diopter control and high-eyepoint eyepiece make viewing a real pleasure, with or without glasses.
Precise exposure
The Leica R9 features selective and integral metering as well as a sophisticated multi-field metering system. The various exposure programmes provide added speed, flexibility and reliability.
