In collaboration with G-Star, the Dutch jeans and fashion label, Leica Camera AG, Solms, presents a limited special edition of the Leica D-Lux 6 compact camera. Inspired by the successful G-Star RAW collection, the new Leica D-Lux 6 ‘Edition by G-Star RAW’ features an unusual colour concept. Its distinctive look, equally unique and timeless, makes it a stylish accessory for fashion aficionados who appreciate extraordinary products with an extra-special touch.

 

Managing Director of Leica Camera Asia Pacific, Mr Sunil Kaul says, “The audacious elegance and edgy design of the D-Lux 6 Limited Edition G-Star RAW pumps a new and fresh look to the popular Leica digital compact model. Combines functionality with a bold design, this collaboration brings a whole new energy to Leica enthusiasts who will be looking forward to the special model with much anticipation.”

 

 

The body of the Leica D-Lux 6 ‘Edition by G-Star RAW’ is finished in the typical RAW design, and features the script ‘LEICA BY G-STAR RAW … JUST THE PRODUCT’. This special edition’s leather trim is also unique – in fact, it is used for the first time ever on a Leica compact camera. The distinctive dot structure plays an essential role in defining the outstanding style of the Leica D-Lux 6 ‘Edition by G-Star RAW’ and lends the camera particularly effective grip characteristics.

 

The Leica D-Lux 6 ‘Edition by G-Star RAW’ comes as a set including a camera case in brown leather in the RAW look, branded with the G-Star logo. The set also includes an exclusive carrying strap and a matching hand strap, both in the same leather as the case. The Leica D-Lux 6 ‘Edition by G-Star RAW’ is a worldwide limited special model and is now available from selected Leica Stores.

G-Star has previously collaborated in RAW crossovers with companies like Land Rover, Vitra and Cannondale – companies whose products stand for the ideal fusion of classic manufacturing traditions and groundbreaking technology. The Leica D-Lux 6 ‘Edition by G-Star RAW’ is the latest designer product to follow in the footsteps of the RAW Defender, the RAW Ferry, the RAW Cannondale and the RAW Prouvé. The G-Star and Leica brands are united in their appreciation of premium-quality products that are characterised by authenticity, long life and functional design.

 

The technical specifications of the Leica D-Lux 6 ‘Edition by G-Star RAW’ are the same as those of the standard model. The Leica D-Lux 6 combines a fast lens with a 1.7″ CMOS image sensor that is especially large for this compact camera format. This enables it to achieve an imaging quality that sets entirely new standards for its class.

 

With a zoom range of 24 to 90 mm (35 mm equivalent), its lens is ideal for a broad spectrum of photographic applications and makes the camera particularly versatile for everything from macro shots and wide-angle architectural and landscape photography to photojournalism and portraits. A comprehensive range of features – including automatic mode, manual setting options and full-HD video recording capability – expands its users’ creative horizons. Its intuitive handling concept provides ideal support in all situations to guarantee that every moment is captured in dazzling quality.
