The Leica M2 was a was a 35 mm rangefinder camera by Leica AG, introduced in 1957. The M2 has a rangefinder with a 0.72 magnification and frames for 35, 50 and 90mm lenses (instead of the 0.91 rangefinder and 50, 90 and 135mm frames of the M3). This made it better suited for photojournalists. The M2 was considered to be a simplification of the Leica M3 of 1954, notably with a more simple production which made it more affordable than the M3 thus the name "M2". The M2 was followed by the still simpler Leica M1, then the more complex Leica M4. The Leica M2 is the camera that was used by Alberto Korda to take his famous photo of Che Guevara.
