Leica M11 Rangefinder Camera Body Only (Black)

The Leica M11 is a rangefinder camera featuring a revised sensor design and updated connectivity while maintaining the familiar structure of a Leica M camera. The higher resolution suits more detail-oriented applications, like landscape and architectural subjects. The noise-reduction benefits of the BSI design improve clarity and color accuracy when working in low-light conditions with higher ISOs. 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 output, with each resolution making use of the entire sensor area and providing rich 14-bit color. The new Maestro III processor contributes to the faster processing and Triple Resolution Technology of the M11, as well as helps achieve a wider sensitivity range than in past M cameras. An ISO 64-50000 range is now available for greater detail, quality, and natural color rendering at lower ISO settings.  An electronic shutter function now permits shooting at shutter speeds up to 1/16,000 sec, which is perfect for working with faster f/0.95 lenses without the need for ND filters.  Multi-field exposure metering is available in addition to spot and center-weighted average, which helps reduce the need to meter and then re-compose before shooting.

The M11 features a timeless design inspired by the original M camera, the M3, from 1954. This classic and recognizable form prioritizes intuitive handling and shooting along with a sleek and minimalist appearance. On the front of the camera, a viewfinder frame selector can be used to manually change the apparent image field to help visualize the scene with varying focal lengths; options are available in 35mm/135mm, 28mm/90mm, and 50mm/75mm focal length pairs. The revised menu layout matches the Q and SL systems for more intuitive navigation and faster settings changes right from the first menu page. 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 is inserted directly into the base of the camera body. 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. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth can also be used for wireless connecting the camera to an iOS device using the FOTOS app.
