Marking Leica’s centenary, this limited edition D-Lux 8 Digital Camera honors the brand’s heritage by drawing inspiration from iconic models like the M11 rangefinder and the original 1925 Leica. Its refined design showcases leather-textured covering and a nickel-toned finish on the lens, cap, and controls, while deliberately excluding the thumb grip, red logo, and model name. A discreet black “100” emblem on the hot shoe cover signifies its special status as a tribute to Leica’s 100-year legacy.

The D-Lux 8 combines exceptional image quality with compact portability, offering intuitive controls for enhanced comfort and ease of use. As the eighth iteration in the D-Lux series, it features a 17MP Four Thirds CMOS sensor paired with a fixed 10.9-34mm f/1.7-2.8 lens, equivalent to a 24-75mm full-frame focal range. Notably, it is the first D-Lux to support DNG file format. The camera includes a 3" 1.84-million-dot TFT LCD and a 2.36MP OLED electronic viewfinder, with an eye sensor that seamlessly switches between the two. Connectivity is streamlined via the Leica FOTOS app, and a shoe-mounted flash ensures reliable performance across diverse lighting scenarios.
