    Leica M11-D Introduced

    By omitting a display on the back, photography with the Leica M11-D focuses on the elementary aspects of pictorial design such as composition, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. In place of the display, an easy to access ISO dial is showcased on the back of the camera. It offers exceptional customizability, modern connectivity and cutting-edge hardware-based authenticity technology, originally introduced into the camera market with the Leica M11-P as Leica Content Credentials. With its clean lines, matt black painted, scratch resistant surfaces and the absence of the red Leica logo, the new Leica M11-D embodies a sense of discreetness within the timeless Leica product design.

    The Leica M11-D enables images with a resolution of either 60, 36 or 18 MP. With a cache of 3 GB, continuous shooting of up to 5 pictures per second with 60 MP is possible. The internal memory of 256 GB provides ample space for one’s images. In addition, the powerful battery makes sure that the Leica M11-D is always ready at the crucial moment. The new member of the particularly compact full-frame system lies comfortably in the hand. With just 19.05 ounces (with battery), it undercuts its predecessor by 4 ounces.

    The Leica M11-D is extremely convenient to use and adapts to personal preferences thanks to customizable function key assignment. As an M-camera, the Leica M11-D also offers access to Leica M fixed focal lengths introduced since 1954. Paired with the full-frame BSI CMOS sensor featuring Triple Resolution Technology, which has been specifically designed for the Leica M11 family, and an ISO range from native ISO 64 to ISO 50,000, the Leica M11-D delivers stunning images with impressive noise performance, even in low light.

    While the Leica M11-D brings the analog experience into the digital realm, it does not limit itself to just that. The new M-Camera offers seamless connectivity via Bluetooth and direct USB-C cable connection. As a certified “Made for iPhone® and iPad®” product, it provides an exceptionally fast and easy connection to iOS devices.

    Furthermore, settings can be made with the Leica FOTOS app on the smartphone. This connection facilitates easy photo transfers, remote control and geotagging. Additionally, you can review and evaluate images in the Leica FOTOS app on iOS or Android devices independently of the camera. The app also allows for adjustments such as the white balance and the choice between DNG and JPEG file formats. Once saved in the Leica FOTOS app, these settings are permanently adopted by the Leica M11-D, allowing you to customize the camera to meet your specific needs.

    Thanks to its dedicated hardware-based Leica Content Credentials technology, the new Leica M11-D helps to protect the authenticity of digital images. The technology is based on the framework described by the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) and the open technical standard of the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA).

    • No screen in the back, offering an analog experience while increasing the overall durability of the camera.
    • No ISO dial near the top plate of the camera, ISO dial is now much more accessible on the back of the camera.
    • Aluminum top cover and scratch resistant finish.
