How the story began
At the beginning of everything is the idea. Visionary company founder Ernst Leitz revolutionised the world in 1925 with his bold idea to mass produce the first 35 mm camera. His innovation has been carried forth ever since by the Leica philosophy and culminates in exceptional products, such as the Leitz Phone 3. In remembrance of the courage, spirit and vision of the Leitz family, the smartphone bears their name.
The Leitz Looks ensures unmistakable Leica pictures. This specially developed software engine simulates the look of the three most famous Leica M-Lenses: the Noctilux-M 1:1.2/50, Summilux-M 1:1.4/28 and Summilux-M 1:1.4/35. The exclusive “variable aperture” feature enables the simulation of a range of aperture stops from f/1.2 or f/1.4 to f/8. This allows bokeh, vignetting and spotlight rendering to be controlled. The resulting images boast realistic lighting effects, the finest object segmentation and the signature Leica colour scheme – breathtaking images that offer scope for creativity and are unique in the realm smartphone photography.
