Leica Digital Cameras and Lenses

One of the most famous names in photography, Leica popularized 35mm film and is perhaps best known for its iconic rangefinder cameras, which have been in production since the 1930’s. With its emphasis on mechanical cameras and traditional production techniques, Leica initially struggled to find its place in the digital era, before launching the M8, its first digital rangefinder, in 2006. Since then, Leica has expanded its range of digital cameras, including new M-series models and two brand new systems, the medium format 'S' system and the mirrorless L system. In late 2018, Leica announced that it was joining Panasonic and Sigma in the 'L-mount alliance' to develop lenses and cameras around a common L mount standard.
