Leica Celebrates 70 Years of Its M-System With Commemorative New Camera

As a seasoned photographer with over three decades of experience under my belt, I must say that Leica’s latest offering, the Leica M Edition 70, has piqued my interest like no other. Having witnessed the evolution of photography from film to digital, it’s truly heartening to see a company like Leica celebrate its rich history while still pushing the boundaries of innovation.


70 years ago, Leica introduced its reliable Leica M3 model, initiating their esteemed and ongoing M-Series line of cameras, which continues today. First released in 1954, the M-Series has expanded over time to encompass numerous models such as the Leica M9, the Leica M11, and the Leica M11-P. To celebrate this milestone, Leica will unveil another limited edition M-Series camera.

As a dedicated gamer, I’d be thrilled to get my hands on just 70 exclusive pieces of the Leica M Edition 70. This set includes a Leica M-A camera, a Leica APO-Summicron-M 50 f/2 ASPH. lens, a Leicavit M fast winder, and a stock of film to capture those perfect moments. The Leicavit M fast winder comes in three unique colorways: black-painted, glossy black-painted, and silver-chromed, adding a touch of individuality to my photography experience.

Mark Shipard, Leica’s design chief, expressed that the combination of high-quality materials, meticulous workmanship, every deliberate motion, the subtle sound of the shutter, and the clear image in the viewfinder, offers an experience that transcends simple photography,” is one way to paraphrase the given statement.

Accompanying the latest Leica M Edition 70 comes the Leica M Anniversary Book. With a total of 250 pages, this comprehensive collection delves into the history of the M-System using essays, photos, and seldom-seen archive materials.

Have a good look at the photo album displayed here. The Leica M Edition 70 is anticipated to go on sale in early 2025. This special anniversary book will be available at Leica’s main stores and their online platform starting from November 5th.
