The rangefinder camera Leica M11 and the exceptional fixed focal length lens Leica Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 in Glossy Black embody an iconic Leica design with their sought-after lacquer finish.
The latest M-series model and a renowned M lens with an elegant finish: the Leica M11 gloss black and the Leica Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH. glossy black. These designs feature a timeless aesthetic and refined craftsmanship that has distinguished Leica for decades.
It M system is synonymous with the Leica brand like no other. Deeply woven into the company's heritage, its rangefinder cameras tell a revolutionary story that began in 1954 with the Leica M3.
Unique and exclusive design variants have been around almost as long as the M camera itself. The gloss black paint finish of this variant is the purest and strongest expression of the classic Leica look. Over the years, heavy use of the camera will leave marks on the finish, partially exposing the underlying brass.
Gradually a characteristic patina is created that tells its own story. In 1962, the Leica M3 first appeared with this elegant finish, and this design was received with great enthusiasm.
Leica M11
The new edition of the Leica M11 combines the advanced technology of the series model with classic design elements. For example, the top plate, buttons and on/off switch of the camera have a glossy black lacquer finish. Additional elegant accents are the seamlessly engraved “Leica” on the top plate and the shiny silver chrome-plated shutter button, whose design is reminiscent of that of historic M cameras.
The careful attention to detail is also evident in the refined cross knurling on the time and ISO buttons. Finally, this design is deliberately done without the red Leica dot, which emphasizes the cultivated subtlety of the M camera. This version is loved by photographers all over the world.

The classic Leica Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 lens, which is available separately, is a perfect visual match for the M camera with its gloss black lacquer finish.
