Leica’s commitment to innovation is further underscored by its previous forays into minimalist design, such as releasing a digital camera without an LCD screen, and introducing the first camera featuring a monochrome sensor in 2012, the Leica M Monochrom. These unconventional decisions exemplify the brand’s unyielding dedication to providing photographers with tools that inspire creativity, while eliminating distractions.
