The world of James Bond and photography have long been intertwined, starting with the release of the first Bond film, “Dr. No,” in 1962. The EON photo archive has now been opened for an exhibition of iconic Bond images, called “Photographs from the James Bond Archive,” which is being held at the Leica Gallery in London until March 21st, 2023. The exhibition is also the occasion to launch the Leica D-Lux 7 Edition 007, a limited edition camera that embodies the sophistication and timeless elegance of the Bond franchise.

With its high-quality materials and unique diamond texture on the body and handle, the Leica D-Lux 7 Edition 007 is not only stylish but also provides a secure grip. The top cover features the iconic 007 logo and the package includes an automatic lens cap with the famous rifled barrel design from the Bond film credits.

In addition to its impressive design, the Leica D-Lux 7 Edition 007 also delivers top-notch performance, with its large image sensor and bright lens, the Leica DC Vario-Summilux 10.9-34 f/1.7-2.8 ASPH. (35 mm equivalent: 24-75 mm), capable of capturing exceptional images with ease. The included leather holster allows for comfortable carrying and quick access, making this camera ready for action at a moment’s notice.
