Leica M11 Rangefinder Digital Camera Body (Glossy Black)

Blending timeless aesthetics with modern performance, the Leica M11 rangefinder camera features an upgraded sensor and enhanced connectivity while maintaining the iconic Leica M design.

The M11 boasts a 60MP full-frame CMOS sensor with a back-illuminated (BSI) design, improving noise control and readout speeds. This high resolution excels in capturing intricate details for landscapes and architecture, while the BSI design enhances clarity and color accuracy in low-light settings at higher ISOs. A dual-layer ultrathin filter glass absorbs UV and IR light, ensuring sharper and more accurate rendering with M lenses.

A notable innovation is Triple Resolution Technology, which lets photographers choose between 60MP, 36MP, or 18MP outputs. Each resolution utilizes the full sensor area and provides rich 14-bit color with enhanced dynamic range and reduced noise:
-60MP: 14 stops dynamic range, maximum detail.
-36MP: 15 stops dynamic range, balanced performance.
-18MP: 15 stops dynamic range, minimal noise.

Powered by the Maestro III processor, the M11 delivers expanded ISO capabilities (64-50000), continuous shooting at 4.5 fps, and faster file handling, making for a seamless shooting experience.

While remaining a photo-focused, manual camera, the M11 introduces several advanced features:
-Electronic shutter up to 1/16,000 sec for fast lenses without ND filters.
-Digital zoom offers 1.3x (39MP) and 1.8x (18MP) crops, reversible in DNG or permanent in JPG.
-Enhanced metering options like multi-field, spot, and center-weighted modes.
-Long Exposure Noise Reduction minimizes noise or speeds up file saving when disabled.

The M11 retains its timeless design, inspired by the 1954 M3, with an intuitive layout and a minimalist form. Its bright 0.73x optical viewfinder features parallax compensation and frame lines for 35mm/135mm, 28mm/90mm, and 50mm/75mm lenses. The 2.95" 2.3m-dot touchscreen LCD offers improved brightness, and the streamlined menu mirrors the Q and SL systems for user-friendly navigation.

Despite its classic appearance, the M11 introduces significant body updates:

Glossy black brass top plate for a heavier, premium feel, developing a patina over time.
Integrated battery design (BP-SCL7) with 64% more capacity, supporting 700 shots per charge or up to 1700 with the optical viewfinder.
Built-in 64GB memory supplements the UHS-II SD card slot for flexible storage and backup options.
The M11 also features USB-C charging, file transfer, and connectivity to the Leica FOTOS app via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. With geotagging, image ratings, and easy sharing through the app, the M11 merges analog charm with digital convenience.
