Leica M11: A legend reinvented
Since 1954, Leica M cameras have been crafted to address true photographic needs. The result is a rangefinder camera that prioritizes what’s artistically useful over excessive technical features. Staying true to this tradition, the Leica M11 combines iconic design with cutting-edge technology, making it one of the most compact full-frame camera systems in the world.
Timeless and enduring design
Made from premium aluminum with a durable matte finish, the black M11 is designed for both practicality and comfort. It is around 20% lighter than the silver-chrome version, which boasts a classic solid-brass top plate.
One of the best sensors in the world
With the Leica M11 camera, you can choose from 60, 36, or 18 megapixels for both DNG and JPG images. The full-frame BSI-CMOS sensor, featuring Triple Resolution Technology, represents a pinnacle of image processing. Specialized filter technology ensures stunning image quality when paired with Leica M-Lenses. In rangefinder mode, the multifield light metering allows photographers to focus more on their subject, enhancing the shooting experience with this exceptional rangefinder camera.
High-performance processor
Experience smooth and responsive performance with the Maestro III processor in the Leica M11. Advanced algorithms provide images in three resolutions, utilizing the full sensor to deliver outstanding digital quality. With the ability to shoot almost endlessly, even at the 36-megapixel DNG resolution, this rangefinder camera ensures a seamless photographic experience.
The M11 captures the essence of the moment
With its manual controls and sophisticated design, the Leica M11 encourages photographers to fully immerse themselves in the creative process. It invites them to carefully compose each shot and appreciate the subtleties of light and shadow.
As an rangefinder camera, it offers a distinct shooting experience that fosters a deeper connection with the subject. The images captured are not just depictions of reality; they become personal expressions, infused with the photographer’s unique vision and emotional depth.
Shoot in every light
The Leica M11 delivers up to 15 stops of dynamic range at ISO 64, with smooth tones and low noise. Its ISO range up to 50,000 excels in low light, and the new electronic shutter supports speeds up to 1/16,000s, perfect for bright conditions with fast lenses.
Zoom in to bring out the details
M11 offers an integrated digital zoom, allowing you to crop in-camera with 1.3x or 1.8x zoom in Live View for JPG and DNG. While the view is cropped, the DNG file retains full sensor data for post-processing flexibility.
