  • Press Information
    Press information Free for release after: 28 April 2016, 3 p.m. (CET) LEICA M-D – the new digital Leica rangefinder without a monitor screen Wetzlar, 28 April 2016. With the Leica M-D (Typ 262), Leica Camera AG adds a further model to the Leica rangefinder system. Together with the Leica M and M-P (Typ 240), the Leica M (Typ 262) and the Leica M Monochrome (Typ 246), this increases the number of digital M-Generation cameras to five. The Leica M-D is the first serial production model of the digital M family to be made without a monitor screen. The usual location of the screen on the back of the camera is now taken by the ISO sensitivity setting dial – one of the few, but essential, features of the camera. Although the Leica M-D embodies the entire range of technical advantages perfected over decades in the Leica rangefinder system, it intentionally omits all but the most essential technical features. Radically reduced to the most important parameters required for photography – shutter speed, aperture, distance and ISO sensitivity – it promotes its users’ concentration on what is essential: the picture. To a large extent, the technical features of the Leica M-D are based on those of the Leica M (Typ 262). Just like all other digital M-Cameras, the Leica M-D (Typ 262) features a high- resolution CMOS full-frame sensor, albeit one that is dedicated exclusively to rangefinder photography, and supports neither video recording nor Live View. Its 24-megapixel resolution ensures exceptional imaging quality and extreme sensitivity to light.

  • LEICA X1 As Spontaneous As Life Itself
    LEICA X1 As spontaneous as life itself. CONTENTS HAVANA SNAPSHOTS 04 LEICA X1 10 TECHNICAL DATA 18 HAVANA SNAPSHOTS The Malecón in Havana directly at the port entrance, close to the shooting sets. LEICA X1 The ideal travel companion for capturing extraordinary moments. The sounds of reggaetón music echo through the narrow streets. Classic cars, long out of production but lovingly polished, sparkle under the merciless sun. On almost every building, pieces of plaster crumble from the façade. A few make one wonder if they’ll survive the next gust of wind. In some places, it seems as if the decrepit colonial-era buildings are holding each other up. Men sit in the shade, passing the time playing dominoes. A little farther up the street, musicians play salsa and a young couple dances. A man pushes a wheelbarrow fi lled with limes, rolling lazily past a group of women on the side of the street who tell each other stories that are probably as old as the women themselves. These are the fi rst impressions that Thomas Stefan gathers as he ambles through Havana’s languorous old city with his Leica X1. Thomas is a photographer’s assistant and is part of a crew of 40 who have come to the Cuban capital for a fashion shoot. The route from his hotel to the shooting set at the Malecón, Havana’s famous waterfront pro- menade, takes him through the Centro Habana. This is the fascinatingly dilapidated district that gives Havana its unmistakable charm. The tumbledown grandeur of the baroque and neoclassical monuments gives Thomas a fl eeting insight into the bygone prosperity of the city.

Our factory is dedicated to designing and constructing cameras and lenses of the highest quality and uncompromising performance for people just like you. Leica cameras and lenses are exquisite tools that let you experience a unique view of life – tools that ensure the photographer’s complete creative freedom. At the same time, they maximize the potential for realizing your most cherished visual concepts in the form of perfect pictures – images that capture and possess the power to express the otherwise hidden or unnoticed facets of life. The Leica M stands for precisely this special genre of photography as no other camera can. Since our introduction of the combined viewfinder/rangefinder principle in 1954, countless photojournalists and photographic artists have reshaped and redefined our views of the world with their responsive, silent, and discreet Leica M cameras. This is because rangefinder cameras are ideal for capturing vital and authentic images taken from real life, a fact that holds true to the present day. With their intense concentration solely on essential functions and timelessly purist design, the Leica M7 and MP cameras carry forth the noble heritage of their predecessors. What is more, they represent the crowning glory of classical Leica M photography.
