Last Waltz
Decidedly NOT Fogg’s last creation, the Last Waltz is a return for the original type of Fogg design – functional and opulent. With a full leather bottom and a fixed strap (non-removable but adjustable), the Last Waltz has magnetic closures, gorgeous linen lining, two front pockets and interior pockets as well as flexible dividers – more than enough room for your small iPad and Leica M typ 240 or Monochrom camera and a few lenses, including the 50 Noctilux. This is THE bag for Fogg aficionados.
Internal main compartment dimensions (H x W x L) are 7,5 x 4 x 10,75 inches
External dimensions are 8,5 x 5,5 x 11,5 inches

The classic reborn: 28 Summaron-M f5,6
A classic Leica lens is reborn. The new 28mm Leica Summaron-M f5,6 is the modern reincarnation of a classic lens design and the most compact M-Lens made to date. The new Leica 28mm Summaron-M f5,6 is modeled after the original screw mount lens produced at the Leitz factory in Wetzlar from 1955 to 1963 - recreated in M-bayonet mount with 6-bit coding and a slightly revised mechanical design but no changes to the optical design itself.
Leica SOFORT
Introducing the new Leica SOFORT instant film camera.

Available in mint, orange and white with an array of accessories.
