Phase One & Leica: Best Together
September 22, 2008 | News
Leica has once again revolutionized the world of photography with a digital S-System that’s breaks the 35mm mold and becomes the worlds first true Medium Format DSLR. This new camera dwarfs its DSLR competition with a new 30mm x 45mm sensor yielding an astounding 37.5 megapixels. The Leica S2, with its premium AF objectives including everything from ultra wide to super telephoto, is an absolute photographic highlight. The S2’s metal body is appreciably smaller and easier to carry than similar models from other camera brands and yet it’s also nearly twice as fast thanks to ultra modern processor technology.
This just-announced “Medium Format” Leica S2 will feature sensor technology, software, and firmware developed with assistance from the experienced engineers of Phase One and will be sold through Phase One channels. This promises the quality and sophistication of Leica with the engineering prowess, experience, service, and support of Phase One.
Dr. Andreas Kaufmann and Henrik Hakonsson, presidents of Leica and Phase One respectively shake hands yesterday at Photokina. A broad strategic alliance has been formed between the two companies to combine the quality and sophistication of Leica with the engineering prowess and medium-format experience of Phase One.
