Leica SOFORT

 

The Leica SOFORT is the first instant camera from the long-respected brand. You can buy Leica film for it, but it's also compatible with the relatively easy to find Instax mini format film.

Leica's Sofort is the coolest and priciest way to take instant snaps

 

The Leica Sofort is arguably the most underfeatured and overpriced camera on the market. And yet I can't help but love it.

The Leica Sofort looks great and it's perfect for taking instant snaps at house parties.

You can get the same features from instant cameras that cost a quarter of the price.

If you can stomach the cost, the Leica Sofort is a beautiful way to explore the fun of instant photography.

Leica Sofort Review

 

The Leica Sofort is a new instant film camera. Numerous modes and options are available on the camera, as well as creative programmes for multiple and timed exposures. For easier ‘selfies', the Leica Sofort features a rectangular mirror on the front,...

The promise of life long memories in an instant is a powerful draw – and the Leica Sofort is one of the best looking instant cameras out there – alongside its Fujifilm Mini 90 near twin. It certainly has the requisite 1970s/80s charm, even if, and our...

Leica SOFORT Instant Camera

 

I love the look. Simple to use.

Picture quality is nowhere near as good as the Instax Mini 90 NEO. I was surprised by this - thought Leica would do better.
