Leica revealed the M11-D, a screen-less version of 2022’s M11, a 60-megapixel M-mount digital rangefinder camera.

All 5 issues of Leica’s “M-Magazine” are now available for free:

Leica has announced the Leica M11-P, the world’s first camera to create a seamless chain of authenticity from capture to publication.

Today, Leica has announced the Sofort 2, a hybrid instant compact camera. Combining digital capture and analog output, the Leica Sofort 2 offers the fun and spontaneous aesthetic of the original Sofort introduced in 2016, but with far more more flexibility. The camera can take an image and print it out instantly just like the original, shoot and store to a microSD card without printing like a point-and-shoot digital camera, or be used as a portable wireless printer for outputting instant prints from other Leica cameras via the FOTOS app.

Leica has announced the Q3, the third-generation of the Q series cameras that pairs a fixed-lens Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH with a 60-megapixel backside illuminated (BSI) sensor equipped with phase detect autofocus.

“The Leica M11 Monochrom is built on a tradition of excellence, from a legacy of exquisite craftsmanship, innovation, and iconic design to the ethos of the Leica M family: ‘Made in Germany’ with a focus on the essentials: Das Wesentliche,” Leica says.

Last year I reported that scanned older issues of the LFI magazine will be added to the LFI app. A reader just informed me that all LFI magazines are now available in the app and the oldest issues available are from 1949:

The Leica SL2-S is the first Leica to feature a BSI sensor and is positioned by the company to be a “premium segment” full-frame camera suited for action photography and high-end video.

Today, Leica has announced the Leica SL2-S professional mirrorless camera. This new member of the SL family doesn’t replace the existing SL2. Rather, the SL2-S complements it, offering enhanced video capabilities, superior low light performance, and faster sustained shooting, albeit at a lower resolution and lower price of $4,895.

The previously rumored Leica SL2-S mirrorless camera with a 24MP sensor is now officially announced. Detailed information and sample photo can be found here at Reddotforum. For pricing and availability, check our sponsors:

Leica has announced the Q2 Monochrom, its latest monochrome camera that joins Leica’s black and white heritage along with the M10 Monochrom unveiled earlier this year. It features a high-resolution sensor, a toned-down design, and a macro mode.

Leica has just revealed another M10 variant. Following in the footsteps of the Leica M10-P with its quiet shutter, the M10-D that lacks the LCD screen, and the M10 Monochrom with a 40MP black-and-white image sensor, we now have the Leica M10-R: a high-resolution version of the Leica M10 that uses the same sensor as the Monochrom, but shoots color.

I write about all camera equipment because in the modern age of imaging technology, it all merits recognition. Specifically in this case, the Leica M10 Monochrom is one of the most fulfilling experiences I have ever had with any camera, and I need to talk about why.

More than a year after officially announcing the camera, and 12 years after its predecessor was unveiled, Leica has officially released the Leica S3: a 64MP medium format DSLR with 15-stops of dynamic range, Cine 4K video capability, and more.

Almost 5 years after the last Leica M-Monochrom (Typ 246) was announced in 2015, Leica has ditched the “Typ” number, increased the resolution, and expanded the ISO range to unveil the new M10 Monochrom: a camera that promises “an unparalleled black-and-white photography experience.”
