    The Leica M11-D merges the feeling of analogue photography with the versatility of the digital world. Its design and technology focus exclusively on complimenting the photographic process. Without a display or other distractions, the user can fully concentrate on the fundamentals of photography: composition, aperture, shutter speed and ISO. The mechanical ISO setting dial on the back of the camera enhances the analogue experience. With its hardware-based authenticity technology and Leica Content Credentials compliant with the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI), it ensures trust in digital image content.

    Leica's history stretches over a century and has its roots deep in the legacy of film. While today film is no longer the standard choice for photographers, many still appreciate the methology and approach demanded by the limitations of film. Bringing that analog soul to the digital era is the Leica M11-D. This model retains the digital technology at the heart of the M11 and makes a bold choice-removing the rear display. Replacing the screen with a simple mechanical ISO dial, the M11-D provides the most true feeling analog experience while still capturing advanced digital imagery.

    Iconic Design with No Screen
    Leica has consistently developed alternative models of their cameras with tweaks that make them more appealing to different types of photographers-sometimes by eliminating features. The M11-D is one of Leica's most distinct variations as it eliminates the rear LCD screen in favor of a simple ISO dial. It also follows in the trends set by the M11-P with an iconic design that eschews the red dot logo for a more discrete profile. Some of the key design choices of the M11-D include:
    • Rear screen has been replaced with mechanical ISO dial.
    • Unobstrusive no logo design and dark chrome viewfinder.
    • Engraved Leica script on the top cover plate.
    • Internal storage to 256GB.
    Advanced Imaging Technology
    60MP Full-Frame BSI CMOS Sensor
    Featuring the high-resolution design seen in the M11, the M11-D's 60MP full-frame CMOS sensor also features a back-illuminated (BSI) design that offers improved noise performance and faster readout speeds. The higher resolution suits more detail-oriented applications, like landscape and architectural subjects, and the noise-reduction benefits of the BSI design improves clarity and color accuracy when working in low-light conditions with higher ISOs.

    The sensor's physical design also includes an updated ultra-thin dual-layer filter glass, which absorbs UV and IR wavelengths for greater clarity and more accurate rendering from the M lenses.

    Imaging Improvements
    The M11-D is still a photo-only camera that prioritizes manual operation, but a variety of improvements and functional updates have been made to make the M11-D the most contemporary M camera yet:
    • An electronic shutter function now permits shooting at shutter speeds up to 1/16,000 sec, which is perfect for working with faster f/0.95 lenses without the need for ND filters. A mechanical shutter still offers shutter speed support up to 1/4000 sec and flash sync at 1/180 sec.
    • Two digital zoom steps can simulate working with longer focal length lenses by cropping into the image slightly, at 1.3x (39MP) and 1.8x (18MP) levels. These are reversible crops when recording a DNG or permanent crops if shooting straight to JPG.
    • Multi-field exposure metering is available in addition to spot and center-weighted average, which helps reduce the need to meter and then re-compose before shooting.
    • Long Exposure Noise Reduction helps to reduce the appearance of noise but can also be disabled for faster saving times.
