__New: LEICA D-LUX 2 - Modern  digital technology and 
top optical performance in a compact  design

The new LEICA D-LUX 2 launched by Leica Camera AG, 
Solms is  a compact digital camera offering excellent optical 
performance and many  new functions for the creative 
photographer. As Leica's first digital  camera with an 8.4 
megapixel CCD image sensor, the LEICA D-LUX 2 enables  
unlimited image reproduction in the 16:9 format. The image 
impression  is enhanced even further by the powerful 4x 
zoom lens LEICA DC  VARIO-ELMARIT f/2.8-4.9/6.3-25.2 
ASPH. with pronounced wide-angle range.  Due to its ultra 
compact design, the LEICA D-LUX 2 is ideal for those  spur-
of-the-moment shots that require speed and extreme 
flexibility.  In such situations, users will particularly 
appreciate the integrated  image stabilizer which prevents 
blurred images all the way through to the  telephoto range, 
even under difficult light situations. Thanks to its  versatile 
functions, the LEICA D-LUX 2 offers unlimited photographic  
potential! The combination of manual settings and the 
various scene  modes creates scope for individuality. Due to 
the successful symbiosis of  state-of-the-art digital 
technology and Leica's optical expertise in a  compact 
camera, the D-Lux 2 is ideal for capturing life's most  
beautiful moments, however unexpected.

__New:  Limited LEICA MP 3 LHSA Special Edition ? 
Mechanical precision in classic  design

Leica Camera AG, Solms is proud to present its new 
edition  for the year 2005, the LEICA MP 3 LHSA Special 
Edition. Limited to a total  of 1000 cameras, the special 
edition has a design reminiscent of the first  LEICA MP of 
1956 and was produced in cooperation with the world's  
largest Leica collectors club ? the Leica Historical Society 
of  America (LHSA). The exclusive LEICA MP 3 LHSA 
Special Edition combines the  classic design of the early 
LEICA MP with the precision and durability of  the current 
production model of the LEICA MP. Paying meticulous  
attention to the smallest details, Leica has managed to 
create a  camera that is both a collectors' item and a tool for 
professional  photographers and dedicated amateurs. The 
special series consists of three  elements in all: the LEICA 
MP 3 LHSA Special Edition, the LEICA SUMMILUX-M  
f/1.4/50mm ASPH. in a classic design and a LEICAVIT MP. 
The camera,  lens and Leicavit are available as a set or 
individually.
