G-STAR RAW is a denim label renowned for its innovation, cutting edge and unorthodox style.

The body of the Leica D-Lux 6 ‘Edition by G-Star RAW’ is finished in the typical RAW design, and features the script ‘LEICA BY G-STAR RAW … JUST THE PRODUCT’.

This special edition’s leather trim is also unique – this is the first time it is being used on a Leica compact camera.

“The audacious elegance and edgy design of the D-Lux 6 Limited Edition G-Star RAW pumps a new and fresh look … [that] combines functionality with a bold design,” said Sunil Kaul, Managing Director of Leica Camera Asia Pacific.

The distinctive dot structure plays an essential role in defining the outstanding style of the Leica D-Lux 6 ‘Edition by G-Star RAW’ and lends the camera particularly effective grip characteristics.

The Leica D-Lux 6 ‘Edition by G-Star RAW’ comes as a set including a camera case in brown leather in the RAW look, branded with the G-Star logo.

The set also includes a carrying strap and a matching hand strap, both in the same leather as the case.

The technical specifications of the Leica D-Lux 6 ‘Edition by G-Star RAW’ are the same as those of the standard model.

The Leica D-Lux 6 combines a fast lens with a 1.7″ CMOS image sensor that is especially large for this compact camera format, enabling it to punch above its weight in terms of imaging quality.

With a zoom range of 24 to 90 mm (35 mm equivalent), its lens is suitable for a broad spectrum of photographic applications – from macro shots and wide-angle architectural and landscape photography to photojournalism and portraits.

Features include automatic mode, manual setting options and full-HD video recording capability.
