Leica and Burton Snowboards jointly introduce the newest version of the Sofort 2 instant camera

Leica Sofort 2 Burton Edition: A Stylish Collaboration Between Leica and Burton Snowboards

Leica-Camera.com and Burton.com are now offering the Leica Sofort 2 Burton Edition, a unique collaboration between the renowned camera manufacturer and Burton Snowboards. This contemporary instant camera, priced at £530.00 / €595.00, is a must-have for photography enthusiasts and snowboarding aficionados alike.

Founded in 1977 and headquartered in Burlington, Vermont, Burton Snowboards has been a pioneer in the snowboarding industry for over four decades. The Burton Edition of the Sofort 2 is named after Jake Burton Carpenter, the founder of Burton Snowboards, who was a longstanding admirer of the Leica brand.

The Leica Sofort 2 Burton Edition stands out with its 'Jake Blue' pattern and the Burton mountain logo on the top cover. It offers a variety of shooting modes, including selfie, landscape, and macro, making it perfect for capturing moments in time.

In addition to its distinctive design, the Sofort 2 also boasts impressive technical specifications. It has onboard storage for up to 45 images and an SD card slot for another 850 images. The sensor has a resolution of 4.9MP, ensuring high-quality prints.

One of the most exciting features of the Leica Sofort 2 Burton Edition is its integration with the Leica FOTOS App. This allows users to print images from other Leica cameras or smartphones, expanding the camera's capabilities beyond its instant printing function.

The Sofort 2 is not designed for carefully considered portraits or elaborate set-ups; it's for capturing moments in time. With a printing and development time of about 90 seconds, it's perfect for quick, spontaneous shots.

For those looking to protect their new purchase, a Burton camera bag is available, designed to store the instant film, camera, and strap. This stylish package is a perfect addition to any photography or snowboarding enthusiast's collection.

Leica introduced the Sofort 2 in 2023, positioning it to compete with brands like Fuji, Polaroid, and smaller start-ups in the instant photography market. The Leica Sofort 2 Burton Edition is now available for purchase on Leica-Camera.com and Burton.com.
