New Delhi, March 17 (IANS): German luxury camera maker Leica on Tuesday launched the all new M10 Monochrom -- first black-and-white camera of the rangefinder system -- for Rs 6,75,000 in the India market.

According to the company, the camera which is now available for pre-order comes with a newly developed 40MP black-and-white sensor, delivering exceptional pictures that achieve an entirely new level of quality in black-and-white photography.

The technical details and the handling concept of the M10 Monochrom are identical to those of the serial production M10-P, a particularly discreet version of the Leica M-Camera that concentrates entirely on the most essential camera functions.
