Leica M11-P
Pioneering Photography. Once Again.
Details that make the difference
The M11-P accentuates the M series' signature subtlety with unique features. The intentional absence of the iconic red Leica dot, the signature Leica script on the top plate and the scratch-resistant sapphire glass display, coupled with a matte black finish, grant the camera an unparalleled elegance and discreet appearance.
Content Credentials
The Leica M11-P is the world's first camera capable of verifying the authenticity of digital images.
256GB Internal Memory
The M11-P stores DNG and JPG data in the generous internal memory and SD cards with UHS-II standard.
Monitor made of sapphire crystal glass
The LCD monitor made of sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflection protective coating enables an optimal evaluation of the pictures in all lighting conditions.
Combining the strengths of the M11 family
The M11-P, akin to the Leica M11, houses the high-performance BSI CMOS full-frame sensor equipped with Triple Resolution Technology, delivering resolutions as high as 60 megapixels. This ensures radiant images, replete with natural colours, vast dynamic range, and exquisite detail. Its high-resolution touch display, covering 100% of the sRGB colour space, enables accurate evaluation of image sharpness and exposure.
Storage won't be an issue with the M11-P. Beyond its UHS-II SD card slot, it boasts an internal memory of 256GB, which allows for redundant media storage in two locations. The Maestro III image processor's robust buffer accommodates even the highest resolutions for a seamless shooting experience.
Available in matte black or silver chrome
Top cover and the bottom plate are milled from aluminum in the matte black version and from brass blocks in the silver chrome camera version.
Exclusively designed Full-frame M-Sensor with Triple Resolution Technology.
Produce brilliant images in 60, 36 or 18 megapixels. With a ISO sensitivity ranging from native ISO 64 to ISO 50000, your M-photography excels in any lighting conditions.
Maestro-III-Processor
The high-performance processor of the M11 Family features excellent noise characteristics, superb color reproduction, and fast operation, complemented by its 3GB large buffer memory.
Intuitive user interface
