Drop a DNG file from your Leica S (Typ 007) and get the exact shutter actuation count in seconds — processed entirely in your browser, never uploaded anywhere. This 37.5 MP medium format DSLR commands strong resale values where shutter count matters.
Check Shutter Count →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.
| Model | Release | Sensor | Est. Shutter Life | RAW Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leica S (Typ 007) | 2015 | 37.5 MP medium format CMOS (30×45 mm) | ~200,000 | DNG |
| Leica S3 | 2020 | 64 MP medium format CMOS (30×45 mm) | ~200,000 | DNG |
| Leica S2 (Typ 006) | 2008 | 37.5 MP medium format CCD | ~150,000 | DNG |
| Leica SL2 | 2020 | 47 MP full-frame BSI CMOS | ~200,000 | DNG |

| Actuation Count | % of Est. Life | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| 0 – 10,000 | 0 – 5 % | Very low use — near new condition |
| 10,000 – 50,000 | 5 – 25 % | Low use — substantial life remaining |
| 50,000 – 120,000 | 25 – 60 % | Moderate use — inspect carefully |
| 120,000 – 180,000 | 60 – 90 % | High use — negotiate; factor in service cost |
| 180,000 + | 90 %+ | Near est. limit — shutter service likely needed |
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.
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.
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.
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.
