Leica M11 Rangefinder Camera Body (Black)

With a modern sensor and improved connectivity, the Leica M11 Rangefinder Camera perfectly balances classic design with high performance. Its 60MP full-frame CMOS sensor offers superior noise performance and fast readout speeds, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring detail and precision. The updated dual-layer filter glass further enhances clarity and color accuracy.

Triple Resolution Technology

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 outputs, with each resolution making use of the full sensor area and providing rich 14-bit color. By pixel binning, rather than cropping, the lower resolutions have improved dynamic range and noise levels:

• 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 new Maestro III processor contributes to the faster processing and Triple Resolution Technology of the M11. It helps achieve a wider sensitivity range than 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

Enhancements made to the M11 Rangefinder Camera Body provide manual operation and advanced features. Includes electronic shutter for up to 1/16,000 sec shooting, 1.3x and 1.8x digital zoom, multi-field exposure metering, and Long Exposure Noise Reduction.

Traditional Rangefinder Design

The M11 has a timeless design inspired by the original M camera, the M3, from 1954. This classic and recognizable form prioritizes intuitive handling and shooting with a sleek and minimalist appearance.

Optical Viewfinder and Rear LCD

• 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 and 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 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.

Updated Body Design and Handling

Despite the M11's similarity to past M cameras, it features a variety of notable changes to its body design:

• This black finish version of the M11 features an aluminum top plate with a scratch-resistant coating. This design is about 20% lighter than the silver-chrome version, which features a brass top plate, and weighs 1.2 lb with the battery installed.
• First M camera to not feature a removable baseplate; instead, the M11 borrows a design from the Q and SL systems and uses a new BP-SCL7 battery that inserts directly into the base of the camera body.
• BP-SCL7 lithium-ion battery has 64% more capacity than the previous generation's battery and is CIPA-rated for 700 shots per charge. However, if working with the optical viewfinder only, approximately 1700 shots per charge is possible.
• Revised design also incorporates a single UHS-II SD memory card slot within the battery compartment.
• Built-in 64GB memory means you can forgo using a memory card altogether, or use the internal memory in conjunction with an SD card to simulate having dual card slots for splitting file types or for overflow storage. Image files can also be transferred from the internal memory to the SD card for easy backup.
• USB-C port on the base permits in-camera battery charging and file transferring.

Wired and Wireless Connectivity

• The USB-C port can be used in conjunction with the included FOTOS cable, which allows direct attachment to your smartphone 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 or Android 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.
