Leica M11 & Leica Noctilux- M 50 f/1.2 ASPH. Glossy Black Paint
Leica presents the M11 and Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH. in a glossy black paint edition.
These editions of the rangefinder camera and extraordinary prime lens encapsulate iconic Leica design with their coveted paint finish.
Leica Camera presents its latest M series model and a renowned M-Lens with an elegant finish: the Leica M11 glossy black paint and the Leica Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH. glossy black paint. These designs celebrate the timeless aesthetic and remarkably intricate craftsmanship that have set Leica apart for decades. The M-System is synonymous with the Leica brand unlike anything else. Deeply intertwined with the long-established company’s heritage, rangefinder cameras tell a revolutionary story that began in 1954 with the Leica M3. Unique and exclusive design variants have existed for almost as long as the M-Camera itself. This variant’s glossy black paint finish is the purest and strongest expression of the classic Leica look. Over the years, frequent use of the camera makes its mark on the finish, partly exposing the brass that lies beneath. Little by little, this creates a distinctive patina that tells its very own story. 1962 saw the first appearance of the Leica M3 with this elegant finish, and was met with great enthusiasm.
The new edition of the Leica M11 combines the series model’s cutting-edge technology with classic design elements. Accordingly, the camera’s brass top plate, dials and on/off switch feature a glossy black paint finish. Additional elegant touches include the “Leica” engraved in a seamless stroke on the top plate and the glossy silver chromed shutter button, whose design recalls the historic M-Camera. Careful attention to detail is also reflected in the intricate cross knurling on the shutter and ISO dials. Finally, the design consciously forgoes the red Leica dot, underlining the M-Camera’s cultivated subtlety — cherished by photographers around the world.
Key Feature
• Leica M11 with Black Paint: Frequent use of the camera will eventually create a patina on the body, revealing the brass underneath the paint. For many creatives, this patina symbolizes a physical representation of past adventures with the camera.
• Inspired by the Leica M11-P: Just like the Leica M11-P, this new M11 variant omits the Leica red dot, and includes a Leica engraving on the top plate.
• Black Leica M11 with a brass top plate: This is the only black Leica M11 variant with a brass top plate, all other black Leica M11 variants feature an aluminum top plate.
• This camera will be available as part of Leica’s current portfolio, and not as a limited edition.
Leica Camera is introducing a glossy black paint edition of the Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH. lens at the same time. This makes the classic lens, which is available separately, a perfect visual match for the M-Camera with its glossy black paint finish. This design variant of the lens is based on the series model, which became famous for its high image quality and light intensity, as well as its unmistakable bokeh. The color variant features a round lens hood, front and rear lens caps with a glossy black paint finish, and a red “feet” scale.
Key Feature
• This new variant is based on the series model and features a “feet” scale in red, instead of orange.
• This lens will be available as part of Leica’s current portfolio, and not as a limited edition.
Three premium M accessories crafted from high-quality cowhide leather are getting a stylish new color option. The adjustable carrying strap, the M11protector and the M-System case will be available in taupe.
