Each lens has a distinct visual style, from the Summilux-M 28mm f/1.4 ASPH to the Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.2 ASPH, with more lens options coming soon. The custom software engine also creates authentic-looking bokeh directly on your iPhone.
ICONIC LEICA LOOKS
Leica LUX was developed in accordance with the acclaimed color science of Leica, offering the same color corrections and film presets as found in Leica cameras. These Leica Looks include Leica Classic, Leica Contemporary, Leica Black & White, and Leica Vivid. More than 15 looks are currently available, giving your images rich textures, emotional nuance, and inimitable drama.
