Leica's CEO has revealed that the camera manufacturer owns the largest network of photo galleries in the world.

Leica has announced the Leica Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH. "Titan" limited edition lens, the most expensive new 50mm prime lens available today.

An extremely rare Leica 0-series camera from 1923 is headed to auction next month and is expected to draw upwards of $2,140,000.

The compact camera, also known colloquially as the point-and-shoot camera, has been a staple of the photography world for over a century. Perhaps the first mass-market compact camera was introduced in 1900 by Eastman Kodak, costing a mere one dollar (about $36 today).

While "Leica Camera" and "Germany" are often said in the same breath, an important part of the Leica family has been crafting equipment in Portugal for 50 years.

Leica's first-ever home entertainment system, the Leica Cine 1, is coming to the U.S. market this September starting at $8,995. It is the first in a new product category that the company says it is committed to expanding.

Leica is commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Leitz Photographica Auction, the official auction house of the German camera company, with a limited edition Leica M6 black paint finish set.

In the making for the past several years, a new Leica database called Lockhart's List is now available that aims to assist collectors and dealers who operate in the second-hand Leica camera market.

In August, Cosina will release a new Voigtlander-branded Color-Skopar 28mm f/2.8 Aspherical for VM mount (compatible with Leica M mount) in two types as well as another version in L39 mount.

The L Mount Alliance has acquired two new members: Samyang and Astrodesign. While the latter is likely less known to photography enthusiasts, Samyang is quite a well-known brand that has become relatively respected over the last few years.

Funleader's latest lens is the Brightin Star XSLIM-M 28mm f/2.8 for Leica M-mount and it brings a distinctly vintage look to an optic that is just 9.9 millimeters thick.

TTArtisan has announced the Light Meter II, a second-generation attempt at its shoe-mount meter that improves on the original that was released in 2021.

There are plenty of lenses with eye-watering prices, including a Leica APO-Telyt-R 1600mm f/5.6 lens that was custom-built for a Qatari prince for $2 million, but what about lenses that any photographer can buy or rent today?

The Leica Store Lisse, located in the Netherlands, is currently selling a one-of-a-kind, life size, marble replica of a Leica M camera, sculpted by artist Capser Braat.

Leica has filed a new product with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that is described as a "hybrid instant camera" and sounds very similar to the Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo.

"Inspired by the classics," Leica has launched a new silver edition of its full-frame SL2 camera. The L-mount camera has previously only been available in black, but now comes in a stylish black and silver color for the same price.

A rare 1936 Leica 250 GG Reporter with the unusual ability to hold 10 meters of film (or 250 consecutive 35mm shots) has sold for a whopping €900,000, or about $976,500 at the 2023 Leitz Photographica Auction.

Leica's FOTOS app, the company's free and universal smartphone app that works alongside Leica cameras, is now integrated with the popular macOS photo and video editing app Darkroom.

It appears as though Leica's Q series of cameras has always used a leaf shutter, but that went basically unnoticed until now or, at the very least, totally un-promoted.

Leica has announced the Q3, the third-generation of the Q series cameras that pairs a fixed-lens Summilux 28mm f/1.7 ASPH with a 60-megapixel backside illuminated (BSI) sensor equipped with phase detect autofocus.

Leica has announced the new Leica Watch ZM 1 and ZM 2, designs that it says were inspired by the M11 Monochrom that was launched earlier this month.

Dramatic, restrictive, and humbling are three words I'd use to describe the Carl Zeiss 16mm f/8 Hologon Ultra-wide lens that I shoot adapted to Leica M film cameras.

Xiaomi has announced the 13 Ultra smartphone which features a quad-camera array that was co-engineered with Leica. The main camera is particularly special, as it features a variable aperture in front of a large Type 1 sensor.

As evidenced by Leica's seemingly infinite supply of special edition cameras, photographers care about style. The passion for sleek, svelte cameras is perhaps matched only by the desire for crystal-clear images. Enter Fotodiox's Crystal Camera, blending the best of both worlds.

Leica has announced a limited, special edition Q2 camera in collaboration with The Walt Disney Corporation that pays homage to Walt Disney himself, who 100 years ago began his journey in animated filmmaking.

Chinese lens manufacturer Zhong Yi Optics has announced the Mitakon Creator 28mm f/5.6 lens, a $299 recreation of the Leica Summaron M 28mm f/5.6 which the company says has a "faithful adherence to the original lens characteristics while maintaining an affordable price for photographers".

Every camera brand makes excellent cameras. However, as the popular photography YouTube channel Mango Street shows with its humorous "camera brand support group" video, that doesn't mean photographers can't laugh at themselves and some of the stereotypes surrounding their preferred manufacturer.

Leica has announced the new Vario Elmar SL 100-400mm f/5-6.3 lens, which is now the longest lens in its SL-series lineup. It is also joined by a new 1.4x extender that extends its reach even further.

Leica has announced the winners of its fourth annual Leica Women Foto Project Award. The announcement arrives on International Women's Day, an annual global holiday celebrating the wide-ranging achievements of women.
