And now, in 2014, Leica Camera AG is celebrating the centenary year of this occasion with numerous events, exhibitions and exciting new products. The theme for this centennial celebration is 100 years of Leica photography'. Celebrate with us and look forward to many surprises that we will present to you regularly on our website.

  1. Will there be other Leica Edition 100 cameras? How about a Edition 100 Leica M or M Monochrome?

    1. Sorry about the late reply, I just saw you question just now. I do not know of any other Edition 100 cameras at this time, but the year has just started. Let's not forget that this is a Photokina year.
