Bring more to set
The Leica M (Typ 240) and Leica M-P (Typ 240) are already impressive digital rangefinder cameras that delight photographers with their feel and performance. By enabling the use of traditional PL mount cine lenses, the cameras can now take on a powerful role for the cinematographer, both on set and on location scouts. From director’s viewfinder to reference photos to HD video and more, the Leica M PL Mount brings a lot to set in a little package.

Does the Leica M have a crop mode to use with the Super 35 lenses?
Yes. It’s called photoshop. 😉
Jokes aside, I’ve heard rumblings of a simple frame overlay that would indicate S35 format on the LCD, but leave the captured image unaltered.
