Leica's M-series cameras have stayed very similar throughout their illustrious history, even as technology has shifted from analog to digital. But which kind of camera feels better? Photographer Markus Hofstaetter aims to find out.

Camille Farrah Lenain is a French-Algerian photographer whose portraiture and documentary work illuminates people and stories often ignored, including those related to stereotypes, collective consciousness, identity, sexuality, and religion. She is also an award-winning photographer and educator and one of the winners of the 2024 Leica Women Foto Project Award.

Sub13, makers of some of the only underwater housings available for Leica cameras, announced the development of the world's first housing made for the Leica M6, the revived film camera announced in 2022.

The Leica SL3 bug that could delete people's photos has been squashed. Leica has released a firmware fix, which is now available to SL3 owners.

The Leica SL3, released this spring, is a great high-resolution L-Mount camera. Unfortunately, some users are facing a significant problem: the camera can erase existing photos.

Leica is such a prestigious and recognizable name in the photography industry thanks in large part to the lasting appeal of the company's vintage cameras and lenses. The market for pre-owned Leica gear is as active as it is vast.

The premium compact camera market is slightly more crowded today, as Leica's newly announced D-Lux 8 has officially launched.

A rare 66-year-old Leica MP2 black paint camera has been sold for 1.56 million Euros, or nearly $1.68 million, at the 44th Leitz Photographica Auction in Wetzlar, Germany.

Leica announced that it acquired smartphone app startup Fjorden Electra to lead the development of the newly-announced Leica LUX app. While the acquisition is only being announced today, it closed in December 2023.

Alongside great image and build quality, one of the most compelling aspects of using a Leica M digital camera is their access to such a diverse library of amazing lenses. However, some of these lenses, vintage and modern alike, lack electronic communication with the camera, leading to photographers manually tracking important metadata like lens selection and focal length. Henley Bailey of Akara Labs has a clever and affordable solution to this problem.

Like the Underground Railroad, the Leica Freedom Train was not a physical object or location but a monumental and dangerous effort to save people from persecution and even death.

Throughout photographic history, few cameras have had the kind of defining influence that can compare to the original Barnack Leica. It’s only natural that the industry of the time would react impulsively to the arrival of such a new, exciting, and innovative breed of camera – which is exactly what happened.

The 44th Leitz Photographica Auction is scheduled to take place on June 8 and brings with it some exceptionally rare cameras, including a Leitz Rifle Camera valued at $280,000 -- and that's not even the highest-valued item.

I've always been fascinated by the latest and greatest technology, and that obsession has carried over to photography ever since I picked up my first camera. However, as cameras have improved, I've begun prioritizing how a camera makes me feel rather than what the camera offers regarding specs and features. Given the most popular cameras these days, I'm not alone in seeking joy over performance.

Leica is no stranger to expensive cameras and lenses. For example, last October, a Leica 0-series camera from 1923 sold at auction for about $3.7 million. However, not all Leica equipment worth millions is anywhere near that old. Enter the Leica Apo-Telyt-R 1600mm f/5.6 super-telephoto (or super-super-telephoto) prime lens worth $2 million.

An extremely rare Leica M6 model, one of only six made, is up for auction by Bonhams.

Leica announced the Leitz Phone 3, it's third smartphone that brings enhanced imaging, unique features, tons of photo modes, and more. Unfortunately for most of the world, the smartphone will only be available in Japan.

If you've ever taken photographs with a vintage Barnack Leica, you know that this precursor to modern cameras is considerably more difficult to load film into than pretty much everything that came after it.

An executive at Leica has admitted that selling its L-mount SL series of cameras is more challenging, at least compared to its other offerings, but argues its important to be a part of the conversation nonetheless.

Leica will sell an extremely limited run of its 35mm f/1.4 Summilux-M in a black anodized finish, a new re-release of the lens that first hit the market in 1961.

Leica Q3 owners are no longer relegated to capturing photos on dry land. Thanks to Sub13 Collective and its new underwater housing, the Leica Q3 can now safely go for a swim.
