Maximum Compatibility

Leica engineers were careful to ensure that the new Leica M series—like its predecessors— remains compatible with existing series. This means that objectives, bases, tubes and so on can be reused.

Objectives

All new objectives of the Leica M series are parfocal.

If you prefer, you can continue to use the previ- ous Leica objective series. In this case, parfocal- ity is no longer guaranteed.

Tubes

The interface between the optics carrier and the tube has remained the same, so exist- ing tubes fit the new M series. The new tubes are designed for eyepieces with field number 23, while the predecessor models were only designed for field number 21, resulting in a smaller object field.

Eyepieces

The new M series eyepieces have an audible and tangible click to provide immediate feed- back in case of accidental adjustment.
