Product innovation: LEICA DIGITAL-MODUL-R
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.

Lenses: all Leica R-lenses as well as those earlier LEICAFLEX/SL/SL2-Lenses that have been modified by adding the R-cam can be used.
