Leica S (Typ 007) — 37.5 MP Medium Format, Est. 200,000 Shutter Life

The Leica S (Typ 007), also known as the Leica S 007, was announced in 2014 and began shipping in 2015. It is the second generation of Leica’s professional S-system medium format DSLR, featuring a 37.5 MP CMOS sensor measuring 30×45 mm — significantly larger than a 35 mm full-frame sensor. Compared to its predecessor the S2 (Typ 006), the Typ 007 added video recording (1080p), Wi-Fi connectivity via the Leica Multi-Functional Handgrip, a faster Maestro II processor, and improved dust/moisture sealing.

The Typ 007 uses a focal-plane shutter reaching 1/4000s mechanical speed with 1/500s flash sync. All RAW files are saved natively in Adobe DNG, which embeds the shutter count in standard EXIF metadata — readable by shuttercount.app without upload.

Leica S (Typ 007) Shutter Count — FAQ

What is the Leica S (Typ 007) also called?

The Leica S (Typ 007) is also referred to as the Leica S 007 or simply the second-generation Leica S. It was the follow-on to the Leica S2 (Typ 006) and preceded the Leica S3.

Does the Leica S (Typ 007) have an electronic shutter?

No. The Leica S (Typ 007) uses a mechanical focal-plane shutter for all exposures. Every release increments the shutter count. There is no electronic or silent shutter mode.

Is the shutter count readable from DNG files?

Yes. The Leica S (Typ 007) saves RAW files natively in DNG format, which stores the shutter count in standard EXIF metadata. Drop any S (Typ 007) DNG into shuttercount.app to read it instantly.

Should I buy a Leica S (Typ 007) or a Leica S3 used?

The S3 offers 64 MP vs 37.5 MP and 4K video, making it the better long-term investment at comparable prices. However, the Typ 007 may represent better value if price is significantly lower — the optical quality of S-system lenses is identical across both generations, and 37.5 MP is sufficient for most medium format work.
