Leica SOFORT 2 Burton Edition

Wetzlar, 11 February 2025 For over a century, Leica Camera AG has been developing cameras that have repeatedly revolutionised the world of photography. These cameras are built on decades of expertise, but above all, they are driven by a passion for bringing ideas to life. It is this same passion that Leica shares with Burton Snowboards. Jake Burton Carpenter, snowboard pioneer and founder of Burton Snowboards, dedicated his life to this sport, transforming a backyard pastime into the world-class discipline we know today. Jake Burton captured his inspirations with his trusted Leica camera, taking photos of friends and family and posting them on a corkboard in his kitchen.  To honour this visionary, Leica has teamed up with Burton Snowboards to create a special edition: the Leica SOFORT 2 Burton Edition.

This unique version of the Leica SOFORT 2 is inspired by the exclusive “Jake Blue” design. In addition to its striking pattern, it stands out from the standard model with the Burton logo on the camera’s top cover. The camera comes with a practical Burton camera bag. As a compact and modern instant camera, it seamlessly bridges the gap between digital photography and the tangible analogue world. The camera allows users to print selected photos directly. Thanks to its integration with the Leica FOTOS App, users can even print images captured on their smartphone or another Leica camera.

The Leica SOFORT 2 embodies a clear, minimalist design while offering a range of creative possibilities on the go. With versatile modes such as selfie, landscape, and macro, it also features ten lens and film effects, ensuring a great photographic experience.
