Leica's new M11 flagship camera is its best yet. Read why here.
Those users ended up being some of the biggest names in photography. Helen Levitt, Joel Meyerowitz, Ropert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Garry Winogrand—the list of iconic photographers that used Leicas is endless. That original formula was so good and so well-engineered and executed that it’s barely changed since. Leica Ms were designed for professionals, for those who wanted total control and precision. The M4, introduced in 1966, was described as “the think camera” in a period advert.
All of which is why, at first glance, you wouldn’t know much has changed with the Leica M11. The first new iteration since the M10 in 2017, it’s got that familiar, sculptural design with its clean, architectural lines and perfect proportions. There are subtle differences to the way it looks. The function button has moved from the front to the top, the rear screen now sits flush and, more strangely, the viewfinder surround breaks the traditionally straight line of the top plate.
The biggest change is the sensor. The M11 now boasts a 60.3 megapixel CMOS sensor, which can shoot in three different resolutions, all of which have their own benefits. With the newly simplified menu system, users can seamlessly switch between 18mp , 36mp and 60mp . This is a seriously impressive feat for any camera, and especially so for something of this size.
In a move that will undoubtedly offend purists, Leica decided to get rid of the removable bottom plate on the M11. An original feature on the M3 in which the baseplate had to be taken off to load film, Leica kept this design on every subsequent model, including digital bodies in a nod to tradition. This time around the baseplate is fixed, with a simple switch added for easy battery and SD card removal, as well as a USB-C port for quick charging access.
The M11 is the most refined take on the digital rangefinder yet. It’s a precise piece of engineering and feels like it in the hands, even down to the ISO dial, which snaps down with a satisfying “ping” after you’ve selected your speed. It’s not for everyone and is difficult to justify when you consider its competitors produce their flagship cameras for a fifth of the price. But then again, the Leica M11 doesn’t really have any competitors.
