In the early days of photography, hours or days passed between capturing a photo and viewing the result. Since 1947, instant cameras offered a new photography experience, which gained cult status, especially in the seventies and eighties. Back then, the directly printed photo symbolized acceleration, while in today's fast-paced world it is a moment of attention and relief.
It's no wonder that the fascination with instant photography is blossoming again, and now, with the Leica Sofort 2, Leica Camera AG introduces the second generation of its instant camera. This hybrid camera seamlessly combines fleeting digital moments with the enduring analog world.
Sofort 2 has a modern and industrial design, has a user-friendly menu structure and button layout that match that of other digital Leica cameras.
What is new with the Sofort 2 is the option to permanently store digital photos and choose the best shots before printing them. This includes all photos on your smartphone and photos taken with other Leica cameras, which are already stored in the photo gallery of the seamlessly connected Leica Fotos App.
These photos can be transferred to the camera via the app and printed as an instant photo. Simply pull the manual print lever on the camera and seconds later you will have the print on Instax Mini photo paper in your hands. Leica offers exclusive photo paper for prints with a warm white or gold frame.
User-friendly, minimalist and stylish. The new Leica Sofort 2 is available in black, red and white.
Numerous fun functions help you capture moments creatively: the selfie mode with a separate shutter button on the front, the landscape mode with a wide-angle character, the macro mode for close-ups up to 10 cm, as well as ten lenses and ten film effects to give free rein to your creativity.
Versatile accessories
Stylish wooden photo frames make the prints stand out beautifully. High-quality wristbands, straps, bags and other accessories emphasize the individuality and creativity of the camera, and more importantly, the people who use the camera to capture and share special moments, whether analog photos or digital moments on social media.
Availability and price
The Leica Sofort 2 is available for a suggested retail price of €379, including VAT.
