Leica today announced a new version of the Leica D-Lux, the new …

Leica D-Lux solid gray

The Leica D-Lux solid gray, a two-tone alternative to the current standard model, will be available from the end of November 2015. In this new styling concept, the lens and control elements are now in silver. In combination with the grey-enameled body, this lends the Leica D-Lux solid gray a new, sophisticated and immediately recognizable look that transforms the camera into an elegant companion for capturing unique moments in pictures of impressive quality.

The technical specifications of the Leica D-Lux solid gray are identical to those of the standard model and impress with the same extensive range of features, versatile functions and an intuitive handling concept. In addition to the Leica D-Lux solid gray, the set also includes a Leica CF D flash in silver finish and a specially made camera carrying strap colour-matched to the new styling concept. The painstakingly finished carrying strap in genuine leather features exclusive Leica embossing. Its broad form and non-slip lining ensure particular comfort when carrying the camera.


In addition, Leica also announced a number of new products as a new, sub-brand, called 0.95.  Here are the first products of this new line:

Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. "Edition 0.95"

 Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH.

With resolving powers that exceed those of the human eye, the Leica Noctilux-M stands alone as the world’s fastest aspherical lens for 35 mm photography. At maximum aperture, the extremely shallow depth of field enables exposures of unrivaled aesthetic quality with a unique bokeh. This exclusive special edition, limited to only 95 lenses, is technically identical to the serial lens and also sets the focus on its exceptional speed in terms of design: the “0.95” engraving stands out in white and all other engravings are muted with a matte-black anodized finish. Particularly striking features are the knurling that reflects the iconic design of the “S.T. Dupont for 0.95” pen collection and the distinctively placed glossy elements on the lens body and front cap. This is the first time that a glossy anodized finish – until now, used only for moving surfaces inside a lens – has been employed as a design element. Each lens of the edition is accompanied by a certificate that emphasizes its uniqueness. A lens that is as unique as the pictures that are taken with it. Order number: 11665

S.T. DUPONT FOR 0.95 COLLECTION

The very first 0.95 collection is the result of a collaboration with the French manufacturer of premium luggage and accessories. The quality, style and exclusiveness of the S.T. Dupont for 0.95 products reflects the exceptional standards of 0.95 and manifests its self-imposed commitment to absolute perfection.

  1. This is ridiculous. What's next, thousand dollar handbags?

  2. Why is this ridiculous? Nobody is forcing you to buy any of these accessories. But anyone that does, puts extra money into Leica's pocket, money that can be used to develop new cameras and lenses. What's wrong with that?

    1. Nothing wrong with that at all. Comments like the one above usually come from the Leica haters or individuals who are incapable to appreciate the finer things in life. They probably consider a Bic pen just as good as the new 0.95 writing instruments from Leica.
