Leica Digital-Modul-R
Product # LE14439

Discontinued

The LEICA DIGITAL-MODUL-R is a digital camera back designed to fit regular production LEICA R8 and R9 cameras. LEICA R8 and R9 cameras will thus become the world’s very first hybrid 35 mm cameras that can be used for digital or analog photography.
The LEICA DIGITAL-MODUL-R combines tradition and progress in a unique way. Nearly all high performance lenses in the LEICA R system since 1965 can be used for digital and analogue image recording. The LEICA DIGITAL-MODULE-R makes full use of their exceptionally high imaging performance.

Now you can take digital photographs in the Leica quality you have come to expect.
