Leica M11 Digital Rangefinder Camera in Silver Chrome Summary
The latest iteration in the iconic M-system line-up arrives with this Leica M11 Digital Rangefinder Camera in Silver Chrome with full-metal housing made of magnesium and brass and a leatherette cover. Leica includes the most powerful capabilities found in any Rangefinder to date, with an exclusively designed full-frame BSI CMOS Sensor powered by the Maestro III image processor. New Triple Resolution Technology enables the user to capture images using the entire sensor surface, irrespective of format, in resolutions of 60 megapixels, 36MP and 18MP.
Image quality is further enhanced by the removal of the low pass filter for maximum sharpness, and Digital 1.3x and 1.8x Zoom is available to maximise the potential of attached M-mount lenses.

Gorilla Glass is used on a 2.95-inch touch control LCD panel, which has 2.3 million dots, while an optimised menu and button layout make it easier to navigate menus and adds a FN button for quicker operation.

Leica M11 Digital Rangefinder Camera Silver in More Detail
Next Generation Image Quality
With an all-new sensor and completely new technology, the Leica M11 is a camera with refined imaging capabilities and future-proof technology. A native IS0 64 to 50,000 defies the compact size of the camera, with resulting images being well controlled for noise and showing a wide dynamic range. This enables you to shoot in extremely varied lighting conditions, from bright daylight with smooth noise-free details at low ISO values, to low light situations at high values.
Triple Resolution Technology promises incomparable levels of image quality from the full colour sensor, opening up entirely new possibilities in composition with a choice of resolutions, which all harness the entire sensor surface area. Shooting in up to 60 megapixels delivers the highest resolutions ever seen from an M system camera, with options to capture 36 and 18 megapixels.
Advanced metering features
Exposure metering is done by the image sensor for all exposure metering methods, both in Live View mode and in rangefinder mode. TTL (exposure metering through the lens), with working aperture is offered. Users can choose from Spot, Centre-weighted and Multi-field metering, with Aperture priority and Manual modes available.
Leica M Lens Ecosystem
With countless lenses available for the Rangefinder system users are spoilt for choice when choosing their next focal length. What’s more, any lens constructed from 1954 through to today can still be used without compromise. This means you can scour for available used Leica lenses as well as the most recently released M lenses and enjoy the art of photography with a whole world of creative freedom, which a Rangefinder provides.
Comprehensive Accessories
Accompanying the launch of the new camera are a series of accessories aimed at enhancing the ownership and shooting experience. Leica has designed half-cases, straps and batteries, which cater for the two camera finishes available.
Perhaps the most essential accessory will be the Visoflex 2 Electronic Viewfinder, which provides three angles with a high resolution OLED screen. The M11 Leather Protector in Cognac is a personal favourite, while an M11 Thumb Rest adds to user ergonomics. If you’re a flash user the accessory shoe SF 40 Flashgun or larger Leica SF 60 both harness centre-weighted TTL at up to 1⁄180s.
Leica FOTOS app and Latest Connectivity
The M11 belies its traditional appearance with future-proof connectivity, which includes 5 GHz WiFi, Bluetooth v4.2 and Geotagging via Leica FOTOS app. The app connects the camera seamlessly to your smartphone or iPad via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, enabling the transfer of images, c

Our Verdict
The Leica M11 incorporates a comprehensive suite of updated technology to merge the classic Rangefinder experience with the modern connected world of photography. Leica has added a custom-designed high resolution 60 megapixel full frame CMOS sensor capable of capturing immense detail. This sensor gathers light with a wide dynamic range and provides extensive ISO options for any lighting situation. Triple Resolution Technology was developed for the M11 camera, opening up new compositional opportunities as it harnesses the full sensor area, whichever resolution is selected. Dual memory enables internal and external data capture via an SD card, while the camera is faster to operate thanks to the latest image processor and updated button and menu designs.
The iconic body has also been enhanced to be the most rugged Rangefinder to date, and is of course made in Germany. Leica cameras aren’t just about technology however, appealing to users through a unique ownership experience, which perhaps provides the greatest appeal for many. The shooting experience delivers favourable ergonomics and subtle differences when composing while seeing a larger field of view. This allows the photographer to become immersed in each moment as they capture natural and authentic images. It is this combination of future-proof technology with classic time-honoured Leica authenticity which will tempt many into Leica’s M ecosystem through the M11 in Silver Chrome.
