The Leica D-Lux 8 100 YEARS OF LEICA pays homage to the 1925 Leica I - the camera that revolutionised photography a century ago.
The camera's shape and subtle design elements evoke its historic inspiration. They include a black finish, exclusive leatherette covering and
nickel-coloured accents on the control elements, lens and lens cap.
Unlike the series model, the special edition does not feature the red Leica logo. It favours a clear design with straight lines.
Other details like the
"100" on the hot shoe cover and elaborate edging on the shutter release offer a nod to its iconic heritage.
The overall user experience and iconic design are a testament to the excellence of the legendary Leica brand, recognised globally as a leader in the field.
For enhanced user comfort, the controls have been simplified and ergonomically repositioned, while the user interface, inspired by the popular
Leica Q-Cameras, has become even more user-friendly.
The D-Lux 8 features a 4/3" CMOS sensor offering 22 MP (effective 17 MP), the fast Leica DC Vario-Summilux 10.9-34 f/1.7-2.8 ASPH. lens
(35mm camera equivalent to 24-75mm), intuitive design and seamless connectivity with the Leica FOTOS app.
It is also the first D-Lux that features the versatile DNG format. The flash included with the camera further expands the versatility of the Leica D-Lux 8.
In addition to the camera, a new range of accessories will be introduced.
