Leica M EV1

Leica M EV1 – A New Era for the M System

The evolution of a legend

Since 1954, the Leica M series has embodied precision, purity, and craftsmanship. From the M3 to the M11, every model has redefined photography. Now, the Leica M EV1 opens a new chapter – the first Leica M camera featuring a built-in electronic viewfinder, merging timeless tradition with cutting-edge innovation.

Clear vision, effortless focus

The Leica M EV1’s 5.76-million-dot OLED viewfinder delivers lifelike colors, diopter correction (-4 /+2 dpt), and automatic switching. What you see is what you get – a true-to-life preview of exposure and composition for unparalleled creative control, especially with fast Leica Summilux and Noctilux lenses.

Pure design and flawless ergonomics

The M EV1 features a refined front design with diamond-patterned leather and a customizable FN lever. Its clean lines and metal construction reflect the iconic M philosophy, crafted in Germany to the highest standards of excellence.

Technical performance

Powered by a full-frame BSI sensor with triple-resolution technology (60/36/18 MP) and the Maestro III processor, the M EV1 delivers outstanding image quality across a wide ISO range of 64 to 50,000. Its 64 GB of internal memory ensures maximum flexibility on the go.

A creative companion

The built-in EVF with focus assist tools (focus peaking, two-step zoom) makes manual focusing precise and intuitive – ideal for street, portrait, product, and macro photography. Seamless connectivity via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or USB with the Leica FOTOS app provides an efficient and energy-saving workflow.

Authenticity and reliability

With Leica Content Credentials ensuring image authenticity and German craftsmanship throughout, the Leica M EV1 continues the brand’s heritage of mechanical excellence and creative freedom.
