Brand Leica System Leica M

The Leica M11 Monochrom is the fourth generation of Leica's black-and-white-only rangefinder, built around a dedicated 60MP full-frame BSI CMOS sensor with no color filter array. By recording light values directly, it captures a tonal range, sharpness, and high-ISO cleanliness that a converted color file simply cannot match — sensitivity runs all the way to ISO 200,000. Triple Resolution Technology lets you shoot at 60, 36, or 18 megapixels whenever you like.

We think of this as the purist's M. The discreet, no-logo design, dark-chrome viewfinder coating, sapphire-glass display cover, and 256GB of internal memory make it as considered as it is capable. Come handle it with our team and see why photographers who commit to black and white keep coming back to this camera.

A Sensor Made Only for Black and White

At the core of the M11 Monochrom is an exclusively developed 60.3MP full-frame BSI CMOS sensor with no Bayer color filter and no low-pass filter. Every pixel records luminance directly, which yields extraordinary detail, a wide dynamic range, and remarkably clean files. A double-layer absorption filter glass further protects image quality, and sensitivity extends to an extreme ISO 200,000.

Three Resolutions, One Workflow

Triple Resolution Technology lets you capture full 60MP files or switch to 36MP or 18MP at any time, always using the entire sensor surface. Paired with 256GB of internal memory alongside a UHS-II SD slot, the M11 Monochrom keeps an efficient, mobile workflow — store to two locations at once or shoot untethered for days.

Discreet, Hand-Built, Made in Germany

The all-metal magnesium and aluminum housing wears a minimalist, logo-free design with a dark-chrome viewfinder coating and a scratch-resistant sapphire-glass display cover. Precisely manufactured by hand in Germany, it uses the legendary Leica M bayonet so you can mount the full range of high-performance M lenses.

Connected and Considered

A USB-C port and Bluetooth connect the camera to the Leica FOTOS app for quick transfer and remote control, and it is a certified Apple 'Made for iPhone and iPad' accessory. The 2.95" sapphire-glass touchscreen and refined operating concept keep you focused on the image, not the menu.
