The latest iPhone generation is already among the best smartphones for photography – but now Leica wants to turn things up a notch by mimicking its signature look through software. The new Leica Lux app lets you virtually swap between a bunch of classic Leica M lenses, and use the firm’s colour science instead of Apple’s for more distinctive snaps.

The freemium app, which is available to download from the Apple App Store now, includes an Automatic mode that gives photos the Leica Standard look – think more natural colours than the stock iPhone camera app – or you can pick from a handful of analogue film presets including Leica Classic, Leica Contemporary and Leica Black-and White.
