Leica M5 framelines with a 40mm lens

The Leica M5 does NOT have native 40mm framelines.

When you mount a Voigtländer Nokton Classic 40mm f/1.4 (M-mount) on an M5, the camera will typically bring up the 50mm framelines.

What framelines the Leica M5 has

The M5 displays framelines in pairs:

• 35mm / 135mm

• 50mm / 90mm

There is no dedicated 40mm frame in any Leica M film body (except the later CLE, which is not Leica-branded).

📸 Leica M5 Rangefinder + Voigtlander Nokton Classic 40mm f/1.4

Classic Film Photography Experience — Perfect for Rangefinder Enthusiasts & Collectors

Why this set is worth buying:
The Leica M5 is a standout piece from Leica’s legendary M-series (introduced in 1971), notable for being the first Leica rangefinder with integrated TTL (through-the-lens) light metering — a feature that makes shooting with manual film easier and more accurate than older rangefinders. It combines classic Leica build quality with robust mechanical engineering (shutter speeds up to 1/1000 s, bright viewfinder with framelines and spot metering) and excellent handling. Wikipedia

The M5’s larger body and ergonomic design make it comfortable for extended shooting sessions — and its TTL meter helps photographers nail exposures without guesswork, which is rare for fully mechanical 35mm rangefinders of this era. Macfilos

Paired with the Voigtlander Nokton Classic 40mm f/1.4 lens, this combination delivers a compelling manual-focus film setup:

• Versatile focal length: ~40 mm gives a natural perspective for everyday shooting — great for street, portraits, landscapes, and general use. B&H Photo Video

• Bright f/1.4 aperture: Lets you shoot in low light, achieve shallow depth of field, and get smooth background separation. B&H Photo Video

• Manual focus with tactile control: Complete hands-on shooting that many photographers love with rangefinder systems. B&H Photo Video

• Leica M-mount compatibility: Uses the standard Leica M bayonet, so the lens will work with a wide range of Leica film and digital M-mount cameras too. B&H Photo Video
