The M11 Monochrom camera is designed for dedicated black and white photography, featuring a modified 60MP sensor that enhances clarity, depth, and resolution. Its Triple Resolution Technology offers flexibility with 60MP, 36MP, or 18MP outputs, improving dynamic range and noise levels. The Maestro III processor ensures fast performance and exceptional low-light sensitivity. It boasts a classic design, intuitive handling, and seamless connectivity via USB-C, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, making it ideal for photographers seeking superior monochrome imagery.
Leica is committed to black & white photography with the M11 Monochrom, the fourth-generation model in their series of unique black & white-only digital rangefinder cameras. Taking the fundamental elements of the M11 platform, including the timeless M camera design, heightened resolution and Triple Resolution Technology, and updated connectivity, the M11 Monochrom adds a modified 60MP sensor that exclusively records black & white imagery.
Based on the M11's high-resolution back-illuminated sensor design, the M11 Monochrom has modified the 60MP full-frame CMOS sensor by removing the color filter array (CFA), which offers the ability to solely record monochromatic imagery using only luminance values for enhanced clarity, depth, and resolution. By omitting this CFA, the camera also achieves a higher sensitivity range (compared to color-enabled M11 cameras) of ISO 125-200000.
The M11 Monochrom also retains the Triple Resolution Technology first debuted in the M11— 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 the lower resolutions seeing an improvement in dynamic range and noise levels.
The Maestro III processor contributes to fast processing, continuous shooting up to 4.5 fps, and the Triple Resolution Technology of the M11 Monochrom, as well as helps achieve a wider sensitivity range than in previous M cameras. This ISO 125-200000 range has a lower base ISO than past M Monochrom models, for improved detail, along with a higher top end for greater flexibility when working in low-light conditions. And, due to the monochrome design of the sensor, noise levels and quality at ISO 200000 remains usable with a broad dynamic range and fine detail rendering.
The M11 Monochrom is a photo-only camera that prioritizes manual operation, but a variety of improvements and functional updates have been made to make the M11 platform the most contemporary M camera yet:
The M11 platform 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'.
Despite the M11 platform's similarity to past M cameras, it features a variety of notable changes to its body design:
The USB-C port can be used in conjunction with the included FOTOS Cable, which allows direct attachment to a mobile device via the Leica FOTOS app for easy file management and sharing.
