This is the second Leica camera to offer compliance with the new Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI). CAI-compliant technology create transparency, building trust. The technology makes it possible for the first time to check the origin and history of a photograph – and thus prove authenticity: “The Content Authenticity Initiative is a collaborative endeavor focused on creating a standard framework for validating the legitimacy and origin of digital content, especially within media and creative content domains.”

Your image, its provenance information and digital signature are sealed cryptographically into a tamper-proof manifest with the image.
All of this means that we can now prove our images are NOT AI-generated.

Originally introduced in 1959, this standard lens is making a grand return, enjoying a renaissance as it joins the Leica "Classic Line."

Homage to Leica’s lens heritage: The barrel and optical design are based on the first versions of the 50mm Summilux lens; the optical design is based on the second version of the 50 Summilux lens, made between 1961 – 1992.
Designed to the highest standard: Composed of more than 100 different parts, this brass lens is handmade in Germany, with a chrome-plated surface finish. This lens is not a limited edition and is part of Leica’s current lens portfolio.
