The Leica M11 camera combines classic design with modern performance, offering a 60MP full-frame sensor that excels in detail and low-light conditions. Triple Resolution Technology provides versatile image quality options, while the Maestro III processor ensures fast processing and a wide ISO range. Its intuitive handling is enhanced by features like an electronic shutter, optical viewfinder, and touchscreen LCD. With built-in memory, USB-C connectivity, and wireless options, it's ideal for versatile and efficient shooting.
M11: The Contemporary Classic
Featuring a new higher-resolution design, the M11's 60MP full-frame CMOS sensor also features a back-illuminated (BSI) design that offers improved noise performance and faster readout speeds. The higher resolution suits more detail-oriented applications, like landscape and architectural subjects. The noise-reduction benefits of the BSI design improve clarity and colour accuracy when working in low-light conditions with higher ISOs.
Besides the 60MP resolution and BSI design, another first for M cameras is Triple Resolution Technology. This unique pixel binning process allows photographers to select 60MP, 36MP, or 18MP output, with each resolution making use of the full sensor area and providing rich 14-bit colour. By pixel binning, rather than cropping, the lower solutions have improved dynamic range and noise levels:
The new Maestro III processor contributes to the faster processing and Triple Resolution Technology of the M11 and helps achieve a wider sensitivity range than in past M cameras. An ISO 64-50000 range is now available for greater detail, quality, and natural colour rendering at lower ISO settings. The Maestro III also enables continuous shooting at up to 4.5 fps and facilitates fast file saving for an intuitive shooting experience.
The M11 is still a photo-only camera that prioritizes manual operation, but a variety of improvements and functional updates have been made to make the M11 the most contemporary M camera yet:
The M11 features a timeless design inspired by the original M camera, the M3, from 1954. This classic and recognizable form prioritizes intuitive handling and shooting along with a sleek and minimalist appearance.
The optical viewfinder is a large and bright 0.73x-magnification rangefinder with automatic parallax compensation and bright-line frame lines, which are set to match the image sensor size at a focusing distance of 6.6'.
On the front of the camera, a viewfinder frame selector can be used to manually change the apparent image field to help visualize the scene with varying focal lengths; options are available in 35mm/135mm, 28mm/90mm, and 50mm/75mm focal length pairs.
Rear 2.95" 2.3m-dot touchscreen LCD features an updated design that is brighter for for improved visibility in sunny conditions.
Revised menu layout matches the Q and SL systems for more intuitive navigation and faster settings changes right from the first menu page.
Live view stabilization helps reduce the appearance of camera shake on the rear LCD or optional Visoflex 2; this electronic stabilization makes it easier to manually focus longer focal length lenses with greater accuracy.
Despite the M11's similarity to past M cameras, it features a variety of notable changes to its body design:
The USB type-C port can be used in conjunction with the included FOTOS Cable, which allows direct attachment to an Apple iPhone via the Leica FOTOS app for easy file management and sharing.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth can also be used for wireless connecting the camera to an iOS device using the FOTOS app.
In-app geotagging is possible along with the ability to select favorites and apply ratings to images via your mobile device.
