Here is some additional information on the new Leica products:
“The finder is always well stowed away in the practical Visoflex 2 case – and ready for action in a flash. The case is made of Italian sheepskin napa leather, which is known for its softness and durability. Thanks to a special treatment, the leather used to make the case also repels dust.”
“The 45 x 45 cm wrapping cloth can be used to protect Leica M, Q, compact cameras, and compact binoculars as well as other valuables, preventing scratches and keeping them free of dust thanks to the specially treated leather.
The multifunctional, high-quality accessory made of Italian hair sheep napa leather. Napa leather is known for its smoothness and softness, as well as its durability, qualities that help protect camera equipment from scratches. The material also repels dust thanks to special treatment.
With its silky feel, practical functionality, and elegant Leica design, this versatile wrapping cloth is a stylish and durable accessory. The leather for this product is cut from a single piece of sheepskin, with no seams.
The leather is a high-quality natural product. Like all things natural, every piece of leather is absolutely unique. With environmental influences and intensive use, natural protection – the patina – is formed over time, which gives the leather its characteristic appearance.”

Two New Accessories Made of Fine Leather
Wetzlar, 22 November 2022
For more than a century, Leica Camera AG has been manufacturing cameras and lenses which set standards all over the world and consistently redefine the limits of photography. The company’s high demands on quality, workmanship and design are also reflected in its accessories. In cooperation with a traditional leathercraft partner, two new Leica accessories made of hair sheep napa leather have been created: the Leica Wrapping Cloth and the Visoflex 2 Case.
The multifunctional 45 x 45 cm Wrapping Cloth reliably protects Leica M, Q, compact cameras, and compact binoculars as well as other valuables against scratches and dust, while also keeping them dust and lint-free thanks its specially treated back. Cameras can be wrapped up in it together with the carrying strap and fixed with an elastic band. Designed specifically for the Visoflex 2, a viewfinder compatible with the Leica M11 and all Leica M10 models, the case protects the item securely thanks to its internal gasket and magnetic lock. Both accessories are adorned with the discreetly imprinted Leica logo.
As expected from Leica, the accessories’ functionality goes hand in hand with a simple and elegant design. Both are made of hair sheep napa leather – a natural material which is valued for its extremely smooth and supple feel and often used for the manufacturing of gloves. The high-quality natural material is cut from one piece and seamlessly processed for the Leica Wrapping Cloth. This requires leather of the highest grade.
The Leica leather accessories will be available globally at Leica Stores, the Leica Online Store and authorized dealers. The recommended retail price for the Wrapping Cloth is 150 EUR including VAT and 130 EUR including VAT for the Visoflex 2 Case.
