Leica M11 Monochrom

Create images only with shadow and light
We have been developing and manufacturing rangefinder cameras for nearly 70 years, and monochrome sensors for 11 years. The Leica M11 Monochrom continues the success story of our monochrome range, now in its eleventh year, with the fourth generation of Leica M cameras entirely dedicated to black and white photography.

An intuitive precision tool, the M11 Monochrom produces exceptional black and white images. He is also a source of inspiration, opening a world of freedom and sensitivity to all photographers who devote themselves entirely to black and white. They can thus realize and perfect their visions, composing images with nothing but shadow and light.

Concentrated on the essentials
Even today, black and white photography remains a popular means of artistic expression. A masterpiece of craftsmanship, the Leica M11 Monochrom is the ideal instrument to fully exploit your artistic potential. You'll be able to take black and white photos that reproduce the finest details with exceptional natural sharpness. This is guaranteed by the BSI CMOS sensor specially developed for the Leica M11 generation - without color filters and with extremely high sensitivity. It also allows you to choose at any time between a resolution of 60, 36 and 18 million pixels, in RAW (DNG) or JPEG format. And each photo will have the unique character of the M11 Monochrom - and your own signature.

A symphony of shadows and light
While the Leica M Monochrom story casts long shadows, the Leica M11 Monochrom brings detail to light like no other camera has before. Its BSI CMOS sensor is a true declaration of love for black and white photography. Thanks to triple resolution technology (up to 60 MP), double absorption layer filter glass and the deliberate absence of colored filters, it takes the quality of black and white images to an unprecedented level.

The M11 Monochrome reveals new dimensions in the play of light and shadow for incomparable images. Even in challenging lighting conditions, you can achieve breathtaking dynamic range and unprecedented levels of subtle detail. These results are made possible by the extreme ISO range of 125-200,000 - so even at high sensitivity you can shoot with extremely low image noise.

Iconic. Without compromise. Minimalist.
Like all M cameras, the M11 Monochrom has a timeless aesthetic and an extremely understated design. Its minimalist design philosophy aims to attract as little attention as possible when shooting, for example by deliberately omitting the red Leica logo and dark chrome coating of the optical viewfinder. This allows you to blend in discreetly with the action and capture authentic images that are anything but discreet.

Legendary Leica quality
The Leica M11 Monochrom fits perfectly in the hand. Neither too heavy nor too light. The device is manufactured to the highest quality standards, such as its all-metal casing and cover made of high-quality aluminum, the sapphire crystal screen and the durable leather finish. Attributes such as longevity, robustness and reliability are not mere words, but something you can actually see and feel with the Leica M11 Monochrom.

High-quality materials, handcrafted in the Leica factory, combine to create an unrivaled camera. A camera of legendary quality "Made in Germany".

Optimal workflow - even on the go
With 256 GB of internal memory and user-friendly connectivity to the Leica FOTOS app, the Leica M11 Monochrom offers an optimal mobile workflow. Images can be quickly transferred to the app and further processed via Bluetooth or the USB-C connection. In addition, the camera can be controlled via the app and the photos evaluated directly on your mobile device with a preview in tethered mode. As an Apple-certified accessory "Made for iPhone® and iPad®", the Leica M11 Monochrom offers unique possibilities with the included Leica FOTOS cable.

Perfect interplay
A camera can only work within the limits of its lens. That's why, for more than 150 years, we've been developing and manufacturing extraordinarily high-performance lenses that pay homage to the M11 monochrome and its high-resolution image sensor. So the camera and every legendary M lens work together to produce images of unprecedented quality.
