This fourth-generation Leica M11 Monochrom camera upholds black-and-white digital photography with no color filtering, delivering elevated resolution through its Triple Resolution Technology and ensuring connectivity for the modern photographer.

Leica's dedication to the art of black-and-white photography manifests in the fourth iteration of their monochrome digital rangefinder cameras—the M11 Monochrom. Built upon the M11’s contemporary features, including a classic design and enhanced connectivity options, this model incorporates a specialized 60MP sensor dedicated to capturing detailed black-and-white images.

Distinctly Monochromatic Photography

The M11 Monochrom features a 60MP full-frame CMOS sensor devoid of a color filter array (CFA), resulting in the capture of pure monochromatic images with improved sharpness, depth, and resolution. The absence of CFA extends the sensitivity range to ISO 125-200000, surpassing typical color-integrated M11 variants in both low-light performance and clarity.

Monochromatic Sensor Without Color Filters

Featuring the unique Triple Resolution technology introduced with the M11, this monochrome rangefinder allows for selectable resolution settings—60MP, 36MP, or 18MP. Each setting utilizes the complete sensor area, enhancing dynamic range and reducing noise at lower resolutions.

Variable Resolution Output

Powered by the Maestro III processor, the M11 Monochrom achieves a broad ISO spectrum from 125 to 200000. This expansion, coupled with its monochrome sensor, ensures high-fidelity imagery with minimal noise even at the peak ISO. Fast performance is maintained through a continuous shooting capability of up to 4.5 frames per second.

Advanced Maestro III Image Processor

The M11 Monochrom maintains a strong dedication to manual operations, enriched by functional advancements for a more sophisticated and efficient shooting process. It offers an electronic shutter for high-speed captures without ND filters, multiple metering modes for accurate exposure evaluation, and user-friendly digital zoom for image framing. Long Exposure Noise Reduction ensures low-noise captures in challenging lighting conditions.

Enhanced Imaging Features of the M11 Series

Resonating with the iconic M3's timeless silhouette from 1954, the M11 Monochrom boasts an ergonomic body design and aluminum top plate with a durable finish. Eliminating color from the camera’s exterior, it presents a sleek, unobtrusive monochromatic look, further exemplified by the absence of the traditional Leica Red Dot.

Monochromatic Aesthetic and Ergonomic Design

The M11 Monochrom exhibits an optical viewfinder with a 0.73x magnification, equipped with automatic parallax correction and adjustable bright-lines for various focal lengths. A 2.95-inch touchscreen LCD adorned with sapphire glass provides excellent durability and visibility for composition and review.

Clear Optical Viewfinder and Enhanced LCD

Enhancing the M series, the M11 Monochrom distinguishes itself with a solid chassis not requiring a removable baseplate and supporting a higher-capacity BP-SCL7 battery. It also integrates 256GB of built-in memory alongside an UHS-II SD slot, offering expansive storage solutions. The base's USB-C port allows for in-camera charging and seamless file transfers.

Refined Camera Body and Handling

In addition to the provided FOTOS Cable, the camera incorporates Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities. This permits effortless file transfer, sharing, and remote control via the Leica FOTOS app on iOS or Android devices. The app also facilitates geotagging and image organization with metadata, enhancing the workflow for photographers on the go.
