The handcrafted leather carrying strap features custom Leica embossing and its broad form and non-slip lining make carrying the camera extra comfortable.
The technical specifications are identical to those of the standard model and uphold the same extensive range of features, versatile functions and intuitive handling that Leica is known for. Among the outstanding highlights of the camera are a fast, Leica DC Vario-Summilux 10.9-34mm f1.7-2.8 ASPH lens that is ideally matched to its large four-thirds sensor, delivering exceptional imaging performance. The zoom lens, which is equivalent to 24 to 75mm in 35mm format, gives it an extremely practical range of focal lengths, making it ideal for almost all genres of photography, from portraits to landscapes, architecture to macro and the classic mainstay of Leica cameras, reportage photography.
Its 4K video capability and integrated WiFi module for remote camera control give photographers further creative options, with the ability to share still and moving pictures to a smartphone or tablet. The Leica Image Shuttle app required for this function can be downloaded free of charge and installed on iOS or Android devices.
