LEICA M11 MONOCHROM SUMMARY

Drawing on 10 years experience in developing black and white sensors, the Leica M11 Monochrom features an exclusive BSI CMOS sensor with incredible low light performance. This allows you to capture images at up to ISO 200,000 for exquisite results in low light, from a discreet, robust black rangefinder body design, which omits the red dot Leica logo. The highly desirable camera also features a dark chrome coating on the optical viewfinder, ensuring you can blend in anywhere, without drawing unwanted attention.

The perfectly balanced camera is a precision tool, which is dedicated to black and white photography, and aimed at photographers who compose their images through light and shadow. You can capture extremely sharp black and white images packed with detail at up to 60 megapixels when paired with Leica M lenses. The camera also boasts triple resolution technology, enabling photographers to choose between Raw and JPEG images in 60MP, 36MP and 18 megapixel resolutions, depending on the situation.

LEICA M11 MONOCHROM IN MORE DETAIL

EXCLUSIVE BLACK AND WHITE BSI CMOS SENSOR

The Leica M11 Monochrom is able to bring details to light like no camera before thanks to the BSI CMOS sensor, which is a true declaration of love for black and white photography. Thanks to Triple Resolution Technology providing a resolution of up to 60 MP, double-layer absorption filter glass and the deliberate omission of colour filters, the M11 Monochrom raises black-and-white image quality to unprecedented levels.

Even in difficult lighting conditions, you can capture breath-taking dynamic range with unprecedented levels of detail. This is made possible by the ISO range of 125 to 200,000 with extremely low noise results even when shooting at high sensitivity.

MINIMALIST DESIGN WITHOUT COMPROMISE

As with all M cameras, the M11 Monochrom offers a timeless aesthetic within an extremely discreet design. Leica employed a minimalist design philosophy which aims to attract as little attention as possible when shooting. Design edits over the original M11 Black include the omission of the red Leica logo and a dark chrome coating of the optical viewfinder. These simple adjustments allow you to blend in inconspicuously and capture authentic photos, which are anything but inconspicuous.

LEGENDARY LEICA QUALITY INSIDE AND OUT

The M11 is perfectly weighted in the hand, not too heavy, yet not too light. It is of course also manufactured with the highest standards, boasting an all-metal body and top plate made of high-quality aluminium, as well as a sapphire glass display and the solid leather finish. These materials and attention to detail ensure durability, robustness and reliability as expected from timeless Leica cameras.

Legendary quality is achieved through the use of high-quality materials and precise manufacturing by hand in the Leica factory, which combine to create a camera that is second to none.

OPTIMISED WORKFLOW FOR ON-THE-GO CREATORS

The Leica M11 Monochrom offers an optimal mobile workflow with 256 GB of internal memory and convenient connectivity to the Leica FOTOS app. Images can be quickly transferred to the app and processed via Bluetooth or USB-C connection. The camera can additionally be controlled via the app and the photos viewed directly on your mobile device with a tethered preview. As a certified Apple ‘Made for iPhone® and iPad®’ accessory, the Leica M11 Monochrom opens up unique possibilities when used in conjunction with the included Leica FOTOS cable.

COMPATIBILITY WITH EXTRAORDINARY LEICA M-LENSES

For over 150 years, Leica has been developing and manufacturing extraordinarily high-performance M lenses which are able to do justice to the M11 Monochrom and its high-resolution sensor. As a result, the camera and each legendary M lens interact as one to produce images of unprecedented quality. This camera joins the release of a new Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH Lens Black (also available in Silver), which are perfectly paired with the monochrome body.
