Leica Sofort 2
Hybrid digital and instant-film camera — Leica's lifestyle entry.
The Sofort 2 is a hybrid camera: a digital sensor for review and selection paired with instant film for physical prints. It uses Sofort color film packs (10 frames per pack, ISO 800), reviews shots on a rear screen before printing, and can also print images from a phone via the Leica FOTOS app — including images shot on other Leica cameras.
Position in the lineup
The Sofort 2 is for someone who wants a Leica without the technical commitment of a system camera or the price tier of a Q-series body. It sits in Leica's lineup as the lifestyle entry — at parties, on trips, around family — where the value is the printed photograph in someone's hand, not the file on a hard drive. The hybrid design means failed shots don't cost a frame of film: review the digital, print only what's worth printing.
