Welcome to the 21st Century Leica! 5 Stars!

Beautiful and minimalistic design that is all Leica with a number of modern features that raise Leica?s M11 to compete with other dslrs. The color rendition on jpgs, which are not that useful for those who shoot raw, are phenomenal nevertheless. The camera is light and the ergos are good. Waiting for the camera grip and EVF which will make this the perfect camera for most situations. Still not a true long exposure camera, it nevertheless works for landscape and street photography equally well.

A stunning Leica M camera

By MICHAEL B.

An absolutely superb M camera. The sensor is incredible both in resolution but in image quality. This my sixth digital M, and it is the best.

Leica M11.

The Leica M11 camera fuses traditional rangefinder photography with new-age camera technology, making it the most flexible M-System camera in Leica’s history. It is bound to deliver a high-end experience, no matter your creative pursuits. It boasts an astounding full-frame BSI CMOS sensor, extended battery life, dual memory options, and a user-friendly menu.

34225lcm11s_04272.jpeg

Full-Frame BSI CMOS Sensor.

The Leica M11 camera is built with a full-frame BSI CMOS sensor and exclusive Triple Resolution Technology. This means content creators can customize each image’s resolution to fit what works for them. Raw image files in DNG and JPEG format can be recorded at 60, 36 or 18 megapixels — always using the full sensor area. This is all while maintaining crisp image quality and detail resolution, as the lower resolutions allow for faster camera performance, extended burst lengths, and smaller files.

Electronic Shutter.

The Leica M11 also offers an optional electronic shutter featuring shutter speeds up to 1/16,000 of a second. With delivery like that, a photographer can feel confident working with wide open apertures in bright light without the need of ND filters. The launch of the Leica M11 is the first time multi-field metering in rangefinder mode is available

Electronic Shutter.

Intuitive Menu System & Sleek Design.

The controls of the Leica M11 camera have been carefully arranged in a layout next to the 2.3 million pixels high-resolution touchscreen. The menu structure is consistent with the Leica SL2 and Q2 to allow for a user-friendly experience. It has a simplified interface and control scheme that is approachable for newcomers, while customizable enough for seasoned pros. As always, the Leica M11 has also kept the sleek design it’s known for. The black finish features a top plate made of high-quality aluminum with a scratch-resistant coating.
