After giving the finishing touches to the Leica S2, their new S-System camera, Leica has announced that the price of camera will be £15,995.
Leica further elaborated that it did not want to “just bundle an entry-level lens with the S2†and would grant the customers a choice of obtaining their preferred lense by paying a few more grands. The SUMMARIT-S 1:2.5/70 ASPH, the most inexpensive one is for £3,096.
Another option you have is to spend £19,092 on the Leica S2-P with sapphire glass monitor and ‘platinum service’ support.
The Leica S2 has a 30mm x 45mm sensor, 56% bigger than that in other DSLRs and provides a splendidly large 37.5 megapixel images.
The speed concern also goes away with this model. We believe we will have the fastest autofocus in the medium format category, the fastest frame rate, and the fastest image processing,†said Christian Erhardt, Leica’s VP of Marketing.
The camera is going to be available in stores from this October onwards.
