Hello everyone, I made a reservation for the Leica M11 at the end of May. While making a reservation, there was an issue where all the digital red LEDs at the bottom (red LEDs) looked blurred when viewing the viewfinder in the store. I wore -3.25 diopters of glasses with all my eyes and it looked blurry while wearing them, and when I used the -2.0 and +0.5 Correction lens in the store, the -2.0 looked relatively clear.(With glasses on!) The question here is, isn't the Correction lens an accessory for astigmatizing users to use without glasses? I still don't understand exactly why Leica's viewfinder is -0.5. -0.5 Is it a diopter, so it looks 1.0 for a person with a frameline and focus area (victitious 2m) and has a bare-eye 1.0 vision?

Hi everyone, Photography has been my love for over 30 years now. I've owned a lot of camera's (film and digital). I recently switched from medium format Fujifilm (GFX-50r, which was big and heavy like a brick) to Leica M11. A dream came true. I love everything about the camera except two things. First is dust on the sensor. I only use one lens and never take it of. Still there's more and more dust on the sensor over time. Is this normal? Isn't the camera sealed? But my GREAT problem is... motion blur. I've never experienced it this way. I know it's said to be a resolution thing, but coming from 50MP medium format, I was quite used to high resolution and never experienced these kind of problems. I'm using a new Summilux 35/1.4 (not the newest, close range focussing version, but the previous). I'm having most problems shooting (almost) wide open. It's nearly impossible to take a non-motion-blurred shot. It's not focussing, That looks okay from a distance. But zooming in... everything has motion blur (or something else?). Even at 1/6500s... Of course I have been practising a lot with the M11. Please look at this test shot. Looks okay, but then... when you zoom in... I know, I know this is an extreme close-up, but still I was used to a quite sharp (motion free) part of the picture, using bij GFX camera. I do not pixel peep at all! I really hope someone can give me the golden tip. It's driving me crazy and I'm thinking about selling my dream camera. This really makes me sad. Leica M11 ISO 64 1/6500s F/1.4 Processed in Capture one (used Light too, no difference). Thank you in advance!

I’ve been playing with the Leica M 11 Monochrom for about a week now. At higher ISOs, I have noticed the presence and some images of a tartan-like grid pattern. At first I thought it was lights that was causing this pattern. Then I started to wonder if my sensor was defective. After reading a review, I noticed that the reviewer also mentioned that at ISO’s as low as 6400 a tartan-like grid pattern could appear in the shadow areas of the image. So my question are as follows: • Is this a defective sensor? • Is it something that can be fixed with firmware? • Are Leica aware of this issue. • Are there plans to address it this matter? High ISO performance is all well and good, but if the image is ruined by pattern noise, then it no longer becomes usable at those ISO’s. More concerning is the revelation that this pattern noise may be present as early as 6400 ISO. This discovery has taken the shine of this camera for me. I do hope for some good news from Leica soon.

In a recent interview in Austrian Der Standard Peter Karbe was asked which camera and lens would be his preferred choice. The answer was "not an easy one", but it would be M11 and APO-Summicron 35. "STANDARD: One last question: If you had to choose a combo, what would be your camera and your lens of choice? Karbe: The M11 and APO-Summicron 35mm. But that's one of those questions... which of your children do you like best? If I had to choose, I would use this combination." Here is the link to the full (unlocked) Peter Karbe Der Standard interview (in German) by Mickey Manakas, where he speaks about the compromise in building the Noctilux f/0.95 and its evident flaws, the "Leica Look" myth, his views on smartphone photography, his pride in personally calculating the optical formula for Summilux 50 ASPH and many other cool topics: https://www.derstandard.at/story/2000144541043/leitender-optikexperte-bei-leica-wir-waren-vorreiter-bei-der-digitalisierung

Hi Everyone. I'm a decade-long Fujifilm user who switched to a Leica M11 three weeks ago. There were a lot of feelings about using a Leica, and I was baffled initially (no EVF). But more than that, using an X100V previously, I share my experiences and thoughts. It's a 5000 words extended essay, and I covered things like my lens of choice, M11 vs. X100V, why I love the M11, and many other things. I thought some of you would be interested in it: https://arslan.io/2023/01/06/from-fujifilm-to-leica-my-experience-with-the-m11/

Is there a way to keep both off at all times and just turn them on when needed? I have found that in FOTOS settings in connectivity I can turn wifi off but then the BT icon appears.

Hi, What do you think, will there be a Leica M11-D without the display? I would love to see Leica producing cameras that even more reproduce the feeling of analog photography with the advantages of the digital world. My perfect digital Leica would be an M11 without the display and a top handle that NEEDS to be pulled to shoot the next picture, like on film cameras. That would bring so much analog feeling to it... Also there could be technology like internal film grain, halation or even different films stocks that are embedded into the raw, like Arri did with the new Alexa s35 texture controls. Just some thoughts, does anyone from Leica listen? 🙂

Hi, I can't easily find posts about the M11 and the Tri-Elmar 28-35-50. I don't have either, just film Leicas currently. Does anyone have experience with this combination? Does the M11 have a built in profile for this lens? (if I can't find a coded lens). Thanks Sam

Hallo liebe Leicanianer, ich hatte gestern auf einer Fototour einen kleinen Alptraum, weil meine Leica M11 einfach nicht mehr Auslösen wollte. Habe zig mal den Akku herausgenommen und wieder reingesteckt, ebenfalls die Speicherkarte. Man hat ja so seine Erfahrungen nach all den Jahren nicht nur mit Leicakameras. Die Kamera zeigte folgende Symptome: bereits beim Akku reinstecken ohne das die Kamera an war zeigte sich das Betriebslämpchen rot, man hörte auch ein Geräusch, als wenn sich der Vorhang öffnet, aber ansonsten wurde kein Vorschaubild angezeigt, einfach gar nichts. Dann habe ich die Play und Menü Taste vor und während des Einsetzen des Akkus gedrückt und oh Wunder sie funktionierte wieder. Vielleicht war es Zufall aber ich habe sie bestimmt 2 Stunden nicht zum Leben erwecken können. Noch mal Glück gehabt! Hattet ihr das auch schon einmal?

Hi everyone. This is not a commerical project, but a hobby project I've worked myself on the side. I wanted to share it with you. The USB-C port of the M11 is not in a very convenient place. Second, I wanted to have an easy way to charge my M11, without having to constantly plug a cable. I modeled a charging dock, and 3D printed it at home. I had many iterations until I found something that works fine. Some todos: * Wrap the inside with fabric to avoid scratching the surface * Look into magnetic USB-C connectors * Add magnets into the housing, so it can stay strong on my library shelves (they are made out of metal) Here are the photos:

Article on the Online Photographer website about a recent interview with Dr Kaufmann on a French website. Interesting snippets regarding film & digital M production numbers. PS - wasn't sure if this was the best place for the post - feel free to move it if it would garner more readers elsewhere.

Hello, I'm trying to get my M11 and 24D to get along. I'm using a Nikon SC-17 cable, and while the flash will fire in TTL mode, I cannot seem to get a proper exposure so it seems to me that TTL is simply not working. I checked the batteries and they have plenty of power in them. I've told the flash what aperture setting I'm using, and set the ISO on the camera to 800. The shutter speed is set to the flash sync setting (lightning bolt). It simply does not appear to be working as a TTL flash. I'd appreciate any advice. I'm open to the possibility of needing to buy a more modern TTL flash but am hoping that won't be necessary. Thanks!

Ich finde es sehr schade, dass ich bei der Adaption von Fremdobjektiven immer auf die Leica M oder R Objektive zurückgreifen muss. Von Nikon kenne ich es, dass ich dem Body vorgeben kann welche Brennweite und Lichtstärke mein Fremdobjektiv hat damit der AF funktioniert. Ich nutze sehr gerne die Perspektivische Korrektur der M11, jetzt habe ich ein Problem mit dem Voigtländer 15mm und 10mm. Da passt kein Profil von Leica. Wäre es nicht wünschenswert von Leica das wir uns selbst freie Profile zusammenstellen können? Nur mal ein Vorschlag...
