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).
Description:
📸 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
