Leica M11#
Leica’s current-generation full-frame rangefinder, released January 2022. The highest-resolution Leica M ever made at 60 MP — with a BSI-CMOS sensor and a triple-resolution mode (60/36/18 MP). Manual focus via a mechanical rangefinder patch; no autofocus. The silver version pairs a classic brass top plate and leatherette body with modern sensor performance.
The M11 is home to two M-mount lenses: the Summicron 35mm and the APO-LANTHAR 50mm, covering the classic 35mm and 50mm focal lengths on full-frame.
