Leica Leicavit-M

Because the Decisive Moment Doesn’t Wait

With a simple flick of the finger, the mechanical rapid winder accelerates film advance on your analogue M-Camera – and with it the shooting speed, up to two frames per second. Capture the moment quickly, precisely, and intuitively.

The Leicavit M is a fast winder for manual film transport, designed to replace the bottom cover of an analog Leica M-Camera. It enables photographers to take up to two shots per second without needing to move the camera away from their eyes. To use it, unfold the rewind crank, pull it to the stop, allow it to spring back, and then release the shutter. The Leicavit M is compatible with the Leica M-A, MP, M6, M7, M6 TTL, M4-P, and M4-2.

The Leicavit M is offered in Black Paint, Silver Chrome, and Glossy Black Paint.

Dedicated hardware supporting Content Credentials:

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.

50 Summilux-M f1,4 Silver Chrome

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

New optical design of a classic Leica lens: Replicating the distinguished bokeh from the original lens released 1959, while also supporting Leica’s high-resolution sensors, thanks to new manufacturing techniques, modern glass elements and lens coatings.
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.
Unique image rendering: Creating images with a wide-open aperture allows the lens to produce incredibly soft bokeh, while also being very sharp and showcasing low optical distortions when stopped down.

50 Noctilux-M f1,2 Black Paint

The new 50 Noctilux-M f1,2 - the classic 1966 look and feel of the original Noctilux lens - in glossy black paint finish.

The Noctilux’s legendary status and unique imaging aesthetic offers soft, almost dreamlike quality that creates an unmistakable look with an exquisite bokeh. This iconic reissue is very close to the original computation, and benefits from modern optic- and lens-construction techniques. Like the original 1966 lens, which was the world's very first production aspherical lens with hand-ground aspheres, this new Noctilux-M is offered in the modern glossy black paint finish and recreates the look and feel of the original, legendary Noctilux f1,2 lens that is so treasured by collectors today...
