New and exclusive instant camera: the Leica SOFORT 2 Burton Edition

The collaboration between iconic brands Leica Camera and Burton Snowboards has resulted in an exclusive special edition instant camera, the Leica SOFORT 2 Burton Edition.

For over a century, Leica Camera AG has been developing cameras that have repeatedly revolutionized 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 cork board 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.

Unique features:

• Exclusive Burton design and accessories with unique styling and matching 'Jake Blue' camera bag.
• Hybrid instant camera that combines digital photography with instant prints.
• Instant prints with a simple flick of a lever.
• Leica PHOTOS app integration for printing photos from a smartphone or other Leica camera.
• Creative shooting modes such as selfie, landscape, 10cm macro and special effects.
• Minimalist and compact design inspired by Leica's industrial design.
