Leica M11-D Is a Digital Camera Mimicking the Analogue Look

Leica has created a digital camera without a screen – a rare but purposeful decision. With the Leica M11-D, the company sought to return to the classic design of its M-system line while offering the capabilities of a contemporary digital camera.

Introduced in 1954, M-system stands for “Messsucher” in German (or rangefinder in English) but has come to essentially denote “Made in Germany.” The M11-D uses a large ISO dial where the digital screen would normally appear.

The camera can shoot in resolutions of 60, 36 or 18 MP and boasts 256 GB of storage. On the interior, the M-11D uses all the necessary hardware of an up-to-date, albeit simpler, digital camera. Bluetooth connectivity allows for the easy transfer of photos.

Aesthetically, the camera looks vintage with a matte black pebbled finish and a sharp rectangular body.

The Leica M11-D is priced at $9,395 USD and is available online and in-store.
