[Pre-Order] Leica M11 in Glossy Black Finish

Description

Leica M11 in Glossy Black Finish

The Leica M11 in glossy black finish combines the latest technology from the series model with the classic design elements that first enamored photographers in 1962 with the Leica M3 special edition. The brass top and base plates are finished with a glossy black paint finish. Over the years, frequent use creates a unique patina. This exclusive design variant is also characterised by the classic Leica engraving on the top plate, controls with a glossy black paint finish and the deliberate omission of the Leica red dot. Another stylish accent comes from the shutter release with a lustrous silver-chrome finish – a variant that was first fitted to the Leica M3. With its elaborate cross knurling on the ISO and shutter-speed dial, this special edition of the M11 features a further refinement that differs from the standard model both aesthetically and haptically.

A Legend Reinvented

The Leica M11, combining the experience of traditional rangefinder photography with contemporary camera technology, delivering maximum flexibility to every photographer. Featuring an exclusive new image sensor, expanded ISO range, dual memory options, extended battery life and a streamlined and intuitive menu system; the Leica M11 represents a new benchmark in digital photography as the most versatile, customizable and powerful M camera Leica has ever built.

At the heart of the M11 is a full-frame BSI CMOS sensor with Triple Resolution Technology. Raw image files in DNG and JPEG format can be recorded at 60, 36 or 18 megapixels, always using the full sensor area. The 60-megapixel option delivers unprecedented image quality and detail resolution, whereas the lower resolutions enable faster camera performance, extended burst lengths, and smaller files.

The Leica M11 has a sensitivity range of ISO 64 to 50,000; it records at 14-bit color depth and has a dynamic range of up to 15 stops. With its Maestro III processor, the Leica M11 offers a fluid and responsive operation, even at the highest resolution and image quality settings. With the optional electronic shutter featuring a shutter speed of up to 1/16,000 of a second, photographers are empowered to work with wide open apertures, in bright light, without ND filters. The M11 also marks the first time multi-field metering in rangefinder mode will be available, offering photographers a valuable tool to curate light.
