Leica M11-P Safari Edition Rangefinder Camera Body

The Leica Safari editions have been held in high esteem since the 70s, with its sought-after olive-green paint finish, leatherette covering, and suave design elements in silver. Continuing this tradition, the Leica M11-P Safari sets a new standard, featuring exquisite engravings and the signature absence of the red Leica logo, showcasing a timeless aesthetic and classic grace. Built on the technical specifications of the Leica M11-P, this special edition is sure to impress photography enthusiasts with its exceptional performance and masterfully crafted operation.

Leica Content Credentials with Content Authenticity Initiative Technology

The M11-P is the first camera with Content Authenticity (CAI) tech, developed by Adobe with The New York Times and Leica. This technology, called Leica Content Credentials, encrypts image metadata and can be verified and added to in compatible apps like Adobe Photoshop. The goal is to increase viewer trust and allow creators to maintain credits.

60MP Full-Frame BSI CMOS Sensor

The M11-P's 60MP full-frame CMOS sensor features a back-illuminated design for improved noise performance and faster readout speeds. This higher resolution is ideal for detail-oriented photography such as landscapes and architecture, while the BSI design enhances clarity and color accuracy in low-light situations with higher ISO settings. The sensor also includes an updated ultra-thin dual-layer filter glass to absorb UV and IR wavelengths, resulting in greater clarity and more accurate rendering with M lenses.

Triple Resolution Technology

M11-P Rangefinder Camera has Triple Resolution Technology, offering 60MP, 36MP, or 18MP output with improved dynamic range and 14-bit color.

60MP: 14 stops of dynamic range, highest resolution
36MP: 15 stops of dynamic range, best balance of resolution and noise
18MP: 15 stops of dynamic range, lowest noise levels

Maestro III Image Processor

The Maestro III processor contributes to the faster processing and Triple Resolution Technology of the M11-P, as well as 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 color 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.

Imaging Improvements

The M11-P is a photo-only camera with manual operation and updates for modern functionality. It features an electronic shutter for faster shooting and two digital zoom options for simulating longer focal lengths. Multi-field exposure metering is available for accurate exposures. Long Exposure Noise Reduction is also included.

Optical Viewfinder and Rear LCD

The M11-P camera features a bright and large 0.73x-magnification rangefinder with automatic compensation and customizable options for focal lengths. The touchscreen LCD has an updated design with improved visibility in sunlight and increased scratch resistance. The revised menu layout offers more intuitive navigation and quick settings changes. Live view stabilization helps reduce camera shake and improves manual focus accuracy.

Updated Body Design and Handling

The new M11-P model joins the M11 series with the SL and Q systems' design, featuring a fixed baseplate and a BP-SCL7 lithium-ion battery that can be inserted into the camera body. With 64% more capacity than its predecessor, this powerful battery offers a CIPA-rated 700 shots per charge, and up to 1700 shots when using the optical viewfinder. Additionally, the camera has a single UHS-II SD memory card slot within the battery compartment and a built-in 256GB memory, allowing for dual card functionality and convenient backup options. The USB type-C port on the base also allows for in-camera battery charging and file transferring.

Wired and Wireless Connectivity

The Leica M11-P Safari Mirrorless Camera Body comes with a FOTOS Cable that enables a direct link to an Apple iPhone through the Leica FOTOS app, allowing for effortless file organization and sharing. Additionally, the camera can be wirelessly connected to an iOS device using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and in-app geotagging is available. You can also use your mobile device to mark favorites and rate images.
