Please note, while initial supply of the new Leica M11, Glossy Black Paint Finish will be limited, this is not a limited or special edition product.
The new edition of the Leica M11 combines the series model’s cutting-edge technology with classic design elements. Accordingly, the camera’s brass top plate, dials and on/off switch feature a glossy black paint finish. Additional elegant touches include the “Leica” engraved in a seamless stroke on the top plate and the glossy silver chromed shutterbutton, whose design recalls the historic M-Camera. Careful attention to detail is also reflected in the intricate cross knurling on the shutter and ISO dials. Finally, the design consciously forgoes the red Leica dot, underlining the M-Camera’s cultivated subtlety — cherished by photographers around the world.
At the heart of the M11 is a full-frame BSI CMOS sensor with Triple Resolution Technology. Raw image files in DNG and JPEG format can be recorded at 60, 36 or 18 megapixels, always using the full sensor area. The 60-megapixel option delivers unprecedented image quality and detail resolution, whereas the lower resolutions enable faster camera performance, extended burst lengths, and smaller files.
The Leica M11 has a sensitivity range of ISO 64 to 50,000; it records at 14-bit color depth and has a dynamic range of up to 15 stops. With its Maestro III processor, the Leica M11 offers a fluid and responsive operation, even at the highest resolution and image quality settings. With the optional electronic shutter featuring a shutter speed of up to 1/16,000 of a second, photographers are empowered to work with wide open apertures, in bright light, without ND filters. The M11 also marks the first-time multi-field metering in rangefinder mode will be available, offering photographers a valuable tool to curate light.
The 1800mAh battery stores 64% more power than before, and combined with the camera’s more efficient operation, allows for considerably longer shooting sessions with a single charge. Additionally, the newly added universal USB-C port serves to transfer data and charge the camera’s battery, using most USB-C chargers.
