Leica and Burton’s New Collaboration Puts Inspiration in Your Pocket

Leica has teamed up with Burton Snowboards to create something truly special: the Leica SOFORT 2 Burton Edition. More than just a camera, this collaboration pays tribute to Jake Burton Carpenter, the pioneer who took snowboarding from a backyard pastime to a global sport.

Jake was a visionary, and like many creative minds, he used a camera to document his journey. His trusted Leica camera captured the highs and lows of his career, snapping photos of friends and family that he pinned on a corkboard in his kitchen. Now, in his honor, Leica and Burton have designed a camera that embodies the spirit of adventure and the joy of capturing moments.

The SOFORT 2 Burton Edition isn’t just about function—it’s about inspiration. Whether you’re carving fresh powder, traveling to new places, or just capturing life’s everyday magic, this camera is designed to go wherever you do.


The Leica SOFORT 2 Burton Edition

From the slopes to the streets, this camera is made for those who live life on the move. Here’s what makes it special:

  • Exclusive “Jake Blue” Design: Inspired by Jake Burton Carpenter, this colorway is a nod to the snowboarding legend himself.
  • Burton Logo & Glossy Black Details: A sleek, stylish look that’s both modern and timeless.
  • Hybrid Instant Camera: Shoot, print, and share your favorite moments instantly.
  • High-Quality Shoulder Bag: Designed by Burton, this rugged and stylish bag keeps your camera protected and ready for action.

Unlike traditional instant cameras, the SOFORT 2 Burton Edition gives you the best of both worlds. It captures digital images that you can preview before printing, ensuring you get the perfect shot every time. Whether you want instant prints or digital memories, this camera is built to keep up with your adventures.


Why the SOFORT 2 Burton Edition Stands Out

Leica cameras have always been about combining craftsmanship with storytelling. The SOFORT 2 Burton Edition takes that same philosophy and adds a touch of nostalgia and innovation.

  1. Instant Prints with a Classic Leica Look – With Leica’s signature sharpness and clarity, every shot feels like a moment frozen in time.
  2. Designed for Creators – Whether you’re a snowboarder, traveler, or just someone who loves capturing life as it happens, this camera makes photography effortless.
  3. Perfect for On-the-Go Adventures – Lightweight yet durable, it’s ready to capture and share memories instantly.

Capture, Print, Share: A Camera for Every Moment

The Leica SOFORT 2 Burton Edition isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about living in the moment and sharing experiences. With its easy-to-use design and instant print capabilities, it brings back the joy of physical photos, letting you hand a memory to a friend as soon as you capture it.

From mountain peaks to city streets, this camera is for those who chase adventure and value the beauty of real, tangible moments. If you’re looking for a stylish, functional, and meaningful way to document your life, this special edition Leica might just be your perfect companion.
