The Leica S-E is a new medium format camera featuring a 30 x 45mm sensor at 37.5MP. It is the entry-level model for the Leica S medium format system.
The system’s unique dual-shutter concept offers photographers the choice of using the camera’s focal plane shutter with speeds up to 1/4000s or the electronically controlled central shutter of the CS lenses that allows flash sync at shutter speeds up to 1/1000s.
In addition to the 10 lenses currently available in the S-sytem, Leica offers two adapters that allow users to mount Contax 645 and Hasselblad H lenses on Leica S-system cameras, including the new Leica S-E.
