Leica Store Mayfair (London) is looking to entice people on the fence over the Leica M (Type 240) to jump, by offering a 48 hour rental for $136. Those that commit to buying will see that fee refunded towards the purchase of their new Leica M. Customers are given the choice between the Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH and Summarit-M 50mm f/2.5 lenses. The offer runs until September 27, 2014.

From Amateur Photographer:

It costs £80 for a two-day loan of the full-frame camera, an amount that Leica says it will refund if the user decides to buy a Leica M.

Lens-wise, photographers can choose from either a Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ‘classic reportage' prime, or a Summarit-M 50mm f/2.5, which is described as a powerful, lightweight lens for capturing finer details.

The Leica M currently costs £5,100 to buy.

For the full terms and conditions, and to book, customers should call 0207 629 1351 or email welcome@leica-camera.co.uk.

The kit will be available from Leica's Mayfair store, and at its outlet in the nearby Burlington Arcade.
