Leica M11 Review - The most enjoyable M-series camera yet?

[@mirrorlessny]

good lesson, much to learn from these videos

[@4g0tten4]

You could do a split side-by-side shot in stills or a full frame diptych to show a similar night and day shot.

[@prismaticfire]

Have to say, the colors and the video quality coming out of that Olympus E-M1X were fantastic. All kudos to the lovely cinematography of the talented Mr. Jordan Drake! While low light showed the limits of that older M43 sensor a bit, and bright backlighting (the ship) revealed the limits of it’s dynamic range, everything was overall quite natural and beautiful. Oh, and the new Leica was pretty alright, too.

[@davidb9682]

I agree. Imagining a still from the Olympus video, the quality looked better than the shots from the Leica. Weird!

[@jordanfish]

I noticed that too! It really has a very solid color rendition and sharp yet organic image. Really interesting.

It's the really funny thing about walking around with embargo gear. Anyone who would be able to recognize that it looks a LOT like an M10 is EXACTLY the person who would know it ISN'T an M10 😅

[@jlwilliams]

I don't know... from across the street or down the block, it wouldn't look that much different. Maybe once you noticed that the photographer wasn't changing batteries every 20 minutes, and that hesheitthey wasn't having to juggle a baseplate while doing it, that might provide a tip-off...

I mean, if you see Chris being filmed by Jordan, it's quite likely it's a new camera...

[@jochenkraus7016]

@@Ruylopez778 It might be new lenses. Which doesn't make a big difference in this case.

[@patricksmith2553]

True, true! But man that USB-C port, you set this camera down once on the counter and there is a drop of water, you'll have a really pretty $9,000 paperweight! Plenty of people have accidentally fried and completely ruined their Nikon D810, D850 or Canon 5D Mark IV type camera's from getting water, even small amounts of water into the port for the vertical grip. Which is why those camera's have a rubber piece that covers the port. Yet people forget about the little rubber piece that covers the port and they ruin their camera's. Leica just does not even include a rubber piece to cover the port? That's a recipe for disaster!

[@patricksmith2553]

@THΞ ΛΧΥΞΗΗΘ Just because you can’t afford it does not means others don’t buy it. Being overpriced does not apply to people who buy these types of cameras. I could easily buy two of these, but I prefer to have more practical cameras like my Nikon D6, D5 and D850 cameras. I prefer my 500mm f/4E VR FL and 300mm f/2.8G VRII lenses to say a Leica APO lens. But just because you think it’s over priced does not mean other people do. $9,000 is not a lot of money to some people. Especially with credit cards. If you make $20,000 a month, you could easily afford this by paying it off over 6 months. Plus interest rates are very low. However most people who can afford this type of camera will just buy it outright. You’re not considering used values. This camera in reality only cost about $2,000-$2,500 as you can resell it for about 70% of what you paid for it, after a year or two. Anyways these types of buyers can easily afford it. I’m far from wealthy and I have gear worth way more than this camera. If you save your money and upgrade when you can, you can too have all of the gear someday. I only got back into photography a few years ago. Started with a $1,300 camera setup and now have an entire dream camera kit. It’s possible!

[@Lowrode]

530gms sold it for me. Lighter than an M6, brilliant thank you Leica. As a working photographer the ‘aged brass edging’ has no appeal, but 20% lighter, I’m in.

I've had my eye on the red dot (in particular the Range Finder) for a few decades and just couldn't pull the trigger.

Great review - very thorough and nice seeing a fan of the brand talk about the features. Pre-order is in, thanks for pushing me over the edge!

[@Gravitys-NOT-a-force]

The M10-R was everything I wanted in an M-series camera: 40 MP resolution; a very quiet shutter, and the look and feel of the original Leica M3. I've gotten used to the M10-R and its 1/4000 shutter speed and pop-up ISO dial. It weighs a ton. It has a traditional base plate. I love the thing.

This was the best review of a new camera, battery, jitter in a handheld, resolution etc. I have had all Leicas since the M4 and learned photography on the 2F 3F.

[@jensbondarenko9195]

13:04: If you leave 60MP behind you and shoot lower resolutions, miraculously you get what all photographers ever aimed for: better dynamic range and lower noise!!! That is what we want. Someone can ask for a cropping mode which imitates longer focal lengths like the Q2 but in this camera what the hell we need 60MP for? Make it 36MP and most owners will be happy with one stop or so more dynamic range which is far more important when shooting in uncontrollable light conditions and save file space in camera, in your smartphone and at home on your hard drive. *scratch my head*

[@jshanni2066]

The most fascinating thing is that you chose an E-M1x to shoot the video. Interesting option.

I think Jordan later said that he wasn't able to bring his monopod, so he chose the camera with the best video-IBIS implementation.

Solid review and enjoyable too!! I just got back in the Leica camp with the M11P. It's the best camera I've used, and I've had plenty over many years of owning a portrait studio. From Blad and Leica film cameras through to the best of the pro DSLR's. The M11/M11P is truly unique.

[@chrisbaudeg3233]

Fantastic review of the Leica M11. YES! Now convinced the M1X is the way to go.

[@bsmukler]

Thanks for this first look and for the great video from New York, including the stills and the music. There’s a reason I, like so many, go to your and Chris’s videos first when there is a major new camera release. I’ve used Leica film and digital M bodies for decades and currently have the M10M alongside my SL2 kit. I love the rangefinder design and the classic, dense feeling of the wonderful construction. It’s a step away from tradition, of course, but it made sense to finally omit the base plate. The aluminum top plate on the black version is in keeping with their other bodies, although the resulting change in weight would present a serious choice between silver and black, since many users are inured to that classic “brick” feeling as well as the eventual brassing. I think the M series will and should always remain without IBIS but that brings up a sad fact that many long time users are getting older and do not obtain the same sharpness due to focus or stability. Thus the SL, Q, and other series. I look forward to your in-depth review!

[@nazmusshadad7155]

the reason they made the color determine the metal is so they can release a black one in brass a year from now as a special edition and charge and extra couple grand for it.

Forget the M11... the Olympus E-M1X looked GREAT!!! What picture profile did you use, Jordan? I am guessing neutral (or possibly flat). Gotta start using my E-M1 II more and my Panasonic and Sony bodies less I guess...

[@mattdebyl8806]

One correction for DPR / TV (somewhat incorrectly stated on both). The M 240 had metering off the sensor as well which gave the same options using the live view for metering. But you had the option in that camera of doing classic Leica shutter metering and sensor metering. So it’s not ‘new’ for M11. Though from memory they did remove that function in the M10. So it’s the ‘return’ of that feature.

[@shang-hsienyang1284]

I wish Sony has this feature 12:34 It's really more convenient to shoot at lower resolution at certain situations.

I borrowed m11 for 2 days for film set photography, with 35mm f2, and it is a joy to use. No big problems with blurry pics on 60mp sensor. If you do everything right, the quality of the image is just superb, if you don't, then you got plenty of wiggle room. What I found unacceptable for camera that expensive, it froze completely 3 times in one day, i had to reset it with battery removal, and i red on the forums is a common problem.

[@zguy95135]

Internal storage, larger battery and on board charging is a big upgrade and would be REALLY nice to have while traveling. Plus more function buttons is great like you said for ISO adjustment, the new back layout is nicer looking and I guess the higher res too (I dont care about that personally). If you have the money its a really nice upgrade from the M10 series. I can't afford nine grand for a new camera though and my M10 does everything I need it to, so I'll be sticking with that.

[@midnightsnack1306]

What a piece of art. For me, Leica M cameras are probably the most gorgeous digital cameras out there. I own an M10 which I got mint from a friend for 5k bucks. Not sure 9k is worth the refinements and upgrade though. I'll probably stick to my M10 for a while.

[@jethrojacinto2798]

My close friend who has the M10 agreed as well. I honestly dont think the upgrade is worth it as well unless you dont have an M-series already

[@ellisson10]

Agree. Unless I were intending to make huge prints for close up viewing or routinely crop images as an alternative to longer focal length lenses , I have no need for a 60mp camera costing 9K with a several desirable upgrades, but none that will significantly improve my image making with the M10 and a variety of focal length lenses of excellent quality. I will, however, take my hat off to Leica for continuing elegant RF camera design with improved features. Perhaps software upgrades will reduce camera "on" lag time.

Great review guys, I'm excited to see what the M11 looks like to older glass - need to pop by the Leica Store Boston with some Mandler glass.

[@carbondragon]

Good video, thanks. My own lenses for my Ms are the 35/2 ASPH (not apo), the 90 APO, and the 50/2 Summicron (pre APO). These aren't the latest and greatest but still pretty good on my M10, 9, and 8). Yet, it seems like every time an M comes out (8, 9, 246, 10, and now 11) the reviewers always say ... oh the digital M8 won't look perfect with Leica lenses that came out prior to their first digital, or the new camera won't get maximum advantage out of the sensor (18MP, 24MP, 24MP, 40MP, or now 60MP) with less than the absolute latest lenses. Maybe that is true, but as you say we mostly take them handheld so you'll probably never prove it without very careful tripod testing. Course by the same token, how useful is 60MP for a handheld camera? Not sure I'll buy an 11 and if I do I typically buy the camera after the 11P or 11R gets made so the price takes at least a tiny hit. And after the M9 sensor corrosion debacle, I'm more reluctant than I used to to buy $8000 cameras that may not be warrantied by Leica against major design defects.

[@aSimpleChat]

My goto channel for unbiased and transparent reviews. Interesting review leaves much to consider.

Or maybe the E-M1X is an EXCELLENT camera that was hideously overlooked. It is a lot like an R3 or Z9 way ahead of their time and for a LOT less money.

Agree with you on high pixel count trade-off with sharpness in handheld/no flash situations - which is the typical situation for most rangefinder users. Seems the pixel war is alive and well. I'll stick to my personal sweet spot of 24 MP, thank you. And as I stated elsewhere, I do wish Leica put out a digital M camera with the absolute minimum tech required to make a picture - aperture, shutter speed, and iso - and that produced high quality files that allowed for all the post production you *might* want to put the files through.

Have you considered an M10-D? It’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but it’s close in spirit.

[@bernardlesperance742]

@@spyhardman Thanks for responding. Yes, I have in fact considered the M10-D ... and the M-D before it (M10-D's earlier iteration). Just never made the leap with any Leica digital camera. But you are right, it's the closest thing to a bare bones digital camera on the market ... esp. the M-D with the ISO dial on the back (no exposure compensation dial). My M6 with a classic (1960s) 35mm f/1.4 is my only experience with Leica to date. Might bite the bullet yet!
