It is noticed that the core imaging components of Leitz Phone 3 follow the configuration of the previous generation model Leitz Phone 2. The rear main camera is still a 47.2MP 1-inch sensor with “eight phase detection autofocus” function, Leica said This sensor brings fast and accurate focusing and excellent photo quality in low-light environments, and the camera is paired with a 19mm f/1.9 equivalent lens. The front-facing camera is 12.6-megapixel with a 78-degree wide viewing angle and f/2.3 aperture.

Although the sensor specifications have not changed, the Leitz Phone 3 has received many upgrades in other aspects. First of all, the body adopts a completely new design, which Leica says reflects its pursuit of functional aesthetics. The back cover has a “premium polyacrylate texture” that feels comparable to a Leica camera. The whole machine weighs 209 grams, making it thin, light and compact.

In terms of performance, Leitz Phone 3 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip and is equipped with a 5000mAh large-capacity battery that supports wireless charging. The screen is a 6.6-inch Pro IGZO OLED screen with a 240Hz refresh rate, a resolution of 2730 x 1260 pixels, and a maximum brightness of 2000 nits. Additionally, the phone has 512GB of storage, which is expandable up to 1TB via microSDXF UHS-1 memory card. It is worth mentioning that the Leitz Phone 3 retains the 3.5mm headphone jack and uses a USB-C interface.

In addition to hardware upgrades, the software of Leitz Phone 3 has also been optimized. Leica said that they have rearranged the application icons to make the entire interface simpler and easier to use, which also makes Leica features such as “Golden Hours” and “Leica International Photography Gallery” easier to find and use. The “Golden Hour” feature alerts users one hour before sunrise and one hour after sunset, when the light is especially warm and ideal for taking great photos. The “Leica International Photography Gallery” will continue to display the works of Leica photographers around the world.

The Leitz Phone 3 brings the “Leica Perspective Control” function to the smartphone world for the first time. This feature, previously only available on Leica cameras, corrects vertically skewed lines, such as line distortions common in architectural photography. The gyroscope in the phone will measure the camera tilt when shooting, and then the algorithm will calculate the corrected picture. The new image is displayed within a white rectangle, and the user can choose whether to apply corrections. It should be noted that this function only applies to photos in JPEG format, and the original DNG format files will not be modified.

The Leitz Phone 3 also adds new “Leica Style” and “Leica Tone” software features. Among them, the “variable aperture” Leica style can simulate the aperture effect of a variety of classic Leica lenses, such as Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.2, Sumilux-M 28mm f/1.4 and Sumilux-M 35mm f /1.4. Leica says users can control the bokeh effect by setting aperture values such as f/1.2, f/1.4 and f/8 via software. Leica said, “This feature provides up to 6-7 aperture stops (depending on the lens), which can bring unique control space for photographic creation.”

In addition, Leica says that the image quality of the “Leica Style” camera mode has been “significantly improved” in three aspects: more accurate representation of light spots (both shape and color), more refined object segmentation, and better Leica color simulation. The Leitz Phone 3 also adds new “Vivid” and “Enhanced” Leica tints, which deliver more vivid, vibrant colors and higher contrast, as well as brighter shadows, respectively. In addition to these two new tones, the new phone still offers “Monochrome”, “Classic Film” and “Modern Film” tones, which are all tonal modes previously developed specifically for Leica smartphones.

Finally, the Leitz Phone 3 also adds a new watermark option that displays aperture, ISO, shutter speed, focal length and the Leica logo on the finished photo, which Leica says can “increase brand recognition” and add a “professional feel.”

The Leitz Phone 3 will be sold exclusively in Japan from April 19, and the price has not yet been announced.

The Leica M11-P camera introduction is as follows:

The Leica M11-P is the first to use standards-compliant encrypted metadata, which provides additional underlying information for image design and modification, allowing people to understand the file’s origin. With the Leica Content Certificate feature, every photo taken comes with a CAI-qualified digital signature. Photo authenticity can be easily verified at any time by visiting the website (contentcredentials.org/verify) or the Leica FOTOS app.

The Leica M11-P has a unique design that reflects the essence of the M series. The classic red Leica logo has been deliberately omitted, replaced by the iconic “Leica” hand-drawn font engraved on the top. The scratch-resistant sapphire glass display is paired with a matte black body.

According to reports, Leitz Photography Auction is one of the most famous auctions of vintage cameras, lenses and other interesting accessories in the world. Leica M6 “Leitz Camera Auction” Edition Black Lacquer Set with a glossy black lacquer finish, exclusively solid gold Leitz logo by a goldsmith in Wetzlar, Germany, with unique solid wood trim made of walnut veneer.

Official map:

Leica released the M6 “Leitz Camera Auction” version of the black paint suit, limited to 20 sets, with a suggested retail price of 25,980.00 euros (currently about RMB 207,000) (including value-added tax), on sale from August 17.

The introduction of the Leica M6 camera attached is as follows:

The camera features a highly scratch-resistant paint finish, a solid brass top cover, and durable leather. In addition, the surface of the glass element has an anti-reflection coating to prevent stray light interference. The new generation of cameras also carries over the design of the red Leitz logo on the original 1984 camera.

According to reports, the Leica M6 is equipped with a mechanical rangefinder system, a viewfinder magnification of 0.72 times, and is handcrafted from more than 100 individual parts. Aperture and exposure parameters can be set precisely with the lens’ selective exposure metering, while the metering reference indicator is displayed in the lower part of the viewfinder. Classic Macular AF is ideal for fast and precise focusing, even in low-light conditions.

The Rangefinder AF technology of the Leica M6 takes you outside the frame and helps you to catch the shutter precisely. Imaging frame line hints highlight the imaging range of the six focal lengths, which are combined in pairs of 28 and 90mm, 35 and 135mm, and 50 and 75mm. After installing the lens, the corresponding focal length viewfinder will automatically appear in the viewfinder and become the frame line. In addition, all other lines can be displayed in the viewfinder using the line selector lever. Before pressing the shutter, you can choose the appropriate focal length according to the subject to capture the picture at the decisive moment.

It is reported that Leica and CMOSIS are cooperating to develop a full-frame 70 MP (70 million pixels) CMOS sensor, which is divided into a standard color version and a special monochrome “black and white version” of the Leica Monochrome model. Currently, spy photos of the sensor have been released by foreign media.

CMOSIS is an Israeli imaging company that is currently affiliated to AMS-Osram. Before that, Leica had cooperated with it in the M240 era (around 2012). The 24MP (24 million pixels) full-frame CMOS jointly developed by the two parties was applied in the M240 (M262 / M240P), SL1, Q1 (Q-P) and other cameras.

Domestic forums generally hold a positive opinion on the imaging of this generation of Leica models. They believe that the CMOS (M240) jointly launched by Leica and CMOSIS is better than the CMOS used in the subsequent Leica M10, M10R, and M11 cameras in terms of saturation, but there are deficiencies in high sensitivity. With Leica’s in-camera processing algorithm in the M240 era, it is easy to appear in the “straight-out JPG”. Features”.

Leica has recently applied a variety of CMOS in its cameras, changing the earlier situation of “one CMOS for all series”, so if Leica uses 70-megapixel CMOS in its M11P or M12, SL3 and other camera models, it is actually not surprising, but the price must be several hundred euros more expensive.
