LEICA NEWS

 


By Heinz Richter

Leica has announced two variants of the M11 and the 50mm f1.2 Noctilux.

Leica M11 glossy black 


The Leica M11 design variant is made of brass and finished with glossy black paint. Over the years, frequent use wears down the paint, gradually revealing the brass underneath. As a result, a patina is created, which is as unique as the camera’s past. The Leica M11 glossy black not only captures moments in time through superb shots, but also tells its own story.

In addition to the paint finish, well-thought-out design details emphasize this design variant’s simple aesthetics. The glossy black paint finish on the control dials and the on/off switch as well as the deliberate omission of the red Leica dot underline the cultivated subtlety for which M-Cameras are cherished the world over. The camera is further enhanced by the classic Leica lettering engraved on the top cover and the shutter release with its lustrous silver-chrome finish, which was first fitted to the Leica M3 and is reminiscent of historical M-Cameras. In addition to all the camera’s stylish accents, the elaborate cross knurling on the ISO and shutter-speed dial makes this Leica a camera that you won’t want to put down anytime soon.


LEICA NOCTILUX-M 50 F/1.2 ASPH. GLOSSY BLACK


One of the M-System’s most prestigious lenses is now available as an exclusive design variant: the Leica Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH. featuring a glossy black paint finish and elegant design details. Discover a finish that is anything but standard.

In terms of technology, this design variant is based on the series model. However, in addition to its glossy black paint finish, it stands out thanks to elegant details, such as the red distance scale for feet. The classic round lens hood is also adorned with a glossy black paint finish.
