Description
Key Features
Tech Specs

The Leica M EV1 combines the traditional values of the M-System with the advantages of an integrated electronic viewfinder (EVF). The diopter compensation and practical focus assists facilitate precise manual focusing – in particular when using the fast Leica Summilux and Noctilux lenses with very shallow depths of field as well as with ultra wide-angle, telephoto, and macro lenses.

The brilliant viewfinder shows the image exactly as it will be when the shutter snaps – in line with the lens used, focal length, and focus distance. All the camera settings are readily visible, without having to take the camera away from your eye. For optimum control when focusing and maximum creative freedom when composing images. The Leica M EV1 is equipped with an outstanding 60 MP full-frame sensor and, just like its sister models – the M11-D and M11-P – includes groundbreaking Content Credentials technology, which reliably verifies the origin of an image.
