Leica M 11-P

Like no other camera, the Leica M has stood for vivid and authentic images taken at the center of the action since its launch in 1954. The intuitive, unique, and unobtrusive style of M photography is especially appreciated by photojournalists working in conflict areas.

Leica Camera AG once again shows a pioneering spirit and creates another milestone in the history of photography by introducing the Leica M11-P. It is the world’s first camera to store metadata by attaching content credentials at the point of capture to protect the authenticity of digital images. Content credentials are a digital nutrition label and the most widely adopted industry standard for content of all kinds. They provide the foundation for increased trust and transparency online. The image is marked with unalterable and verifiable proof of the camera model, manufacturer, and image attributes. The authenticity of these certificates can be verified and examined at any time using free CAI open-source tools.

Additional new features of the Leica M11 perfects the traditional M understatement and expand the range of applications even further. The deliberate omission of the red Leica dot on the camera front,
for example, allows for even more discreet photography. Instead, subtle Leica lettering is engraved on the top plate. The plate and the bottom cover are milled from aluminum in the matte black Leica M11-P and from brass blocks in the silver chrome camera version. Merged with an all-metal body made of a highly solid
magnesium alloy, the interior of the camera is carefully protected. The LCD monitor, made of sapphire crystal glass with an anti-reflection protective coating, enables the optimal evaluation of photos in all lighting conditions. The Leica M11-P combines state-of-the-art camera technology with maximum flexibility with its 60 MP BSI CMOS sensor, Triple Resolution Technology, and the high-performance Maestro-III processor. Finally, the large 256 GB internal memory makes the camera a reliable and functional precision tool that is always ready for use. There are also two new black leather accessories for the M-System: The M-System case and the carrying strap emphasize the clean lines in the design of the new Leica M11-P. A black edition and a silver edition of the Leica M11-P will be available globally at all Leica Stores, the Leica Online Store, and authorized dealers.—

The Summilux-M 35 f/1.4 for a Fairy Tale Look

When the Summilux-M 35 f/1.4 came on the market in 1961, Leica presented the fastest wide-angle lens the world had ever seen. For over 35 years it was produced in several versions. Today, it’s a rarity in high demand. With the renewed production in Leica’s Wetzlar factory, the classic is about to experience a notable revival. A distinctive bokeh and vignetting at maximum aperture got the Summilux-M 35 f/1.4 its title as the “true king of bokeh”. Photographing at open aperture in backlit conditions creates intended lens flares that can be used for specific creative effects. At smaller apertures it delivers very sharp and almost distortion-free pictures that easily meet all modern requirements on image quality.

For architecture photography, try the Tri-Elmar-M 16-18-21 f/4 ASPH

The Tri-Elmar-M 16-18-21 f/4 ASPH has a super wide-angle lens with three focal lengths. With its impressive
angle of view of 107°, this Elmar lens conquers 16mm super wide-angle photography in perfect Leica M style. Due to the minimal distortion and barely perceptible field curvature; it can be recommended for highly demanding architecture photography even at the 16mm setting. The Tri-Elmar-M 16-18-21mm f/4 ASPH unites three super wide-angle focal
