Portrait, Street & Documentary Photography — GFX 50R (2018): The most portable GFX camera of its era — 51MP in a rangefinder-style body for photographers who want medium-format quality with a more discreet form.
Street & Documentary — M10 (2017): The M10 returned Leica to its roots — thinner, cleaner, and video-free by design. The 24MP sensor is the perfect resolution for a manual-focus rangefinder. The simplified control layout respects the M tradition without digital clutter. A camera for photographers who want to slow down and engage with every frame. One of the most satisfying cameras to use — assuming you have M-mount glass to pair with it.
