brickftl Posted June 20 Share #1 Posted June 20 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I just got it yesterday. It has a build date of May 25, 2025. 2 observations: 1. Although I've never given the magenta cast issue any concern because I didn't have a M11 and felt if I did I could easily correct in post: even though I shoot RAW, I set WB to daylight. Thinking was that all the images from a particular outing with the M11P would have the same WB as opposed to possibly different WB settings had I set WB to auto; and therefore I could select all images and correct one of them which would be applied to all images. Anyway I shot the test images indoors and although there wasn't a trace of magenta cast, they were all slightly warm so I knocked temperature down just a hair - didn't touch tint. But now I'm curious about the magenta issue, so next time I shoot outdoors I'll set WB to auto and see what I see in camera raw. I wonder if because the camera was built last month that Leica addressed the magenta issue even though there's hasn't been (to my knowledge) any public announcement regarding a fix. 2. I set the aperture dial to automatic, and first thing I noticed looking through the rangefinder was that the actual ISO was displayed in red at the bottom of the rangefinder. Interesting, I like it. Is this a function of a late build date? My 10 month old M11M doesn't have that display - or is there a setting that turns on the ISO display? Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Hi brickftl, Take a look here 2 observations - new silver M11P. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Tseg Posted June 20 Share #2 Posted June 20 On my 4Q24 M11-D I primarily notice the magenta when I have a lot of blue sky and white clouds. My M11-D displays the ISO in red LED lighting in the rangefinder... and/but can then use the function button to toggle through a bunch of other info. Not sure this is the same for M cameras with LCD screens? You may want to download the M11M instruction manual PDF to research the rangefinder display options. I only recently learned with my M11-D that the function button scrolls through a whole different set of info in the Visoflex 2, when attached, than it does in the rangefinder OVF. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have 2 displays in red at the bottom really, shutter speeds +iso? I would not like that and i've never seen this on any M so far but i have no experience with the M11-P.

graphlex Posted June 20 Share #5 Posted June 20 The ISO setting flashes briefly when the M11 is turned on, as it did with the M10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted June 20 Share #6 Posted June 20 Display of ISO values in the OVF is a feature of the M11-D i guess, not M11 or M11-P but i have no experience with the latter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphlex Posted June 20 Share #7 Posted June 20 Advertisement (gone after registration) My M11 is neither a -P nor a -D, though it is a newly acquired glossy paint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcaslis Posted June 21 Share #8 Posted June 21 If shutter speed is set to A (which it is in your picture, there is no A for aperture), the numbers in red are shutter speed, not ISO. How are you processing your pictures? If shooting RAW are you using the M11 profile? I find that to be slightly warmer than something like Adobe Color or Standard.

I find the AWB on the M11-P to be very good indoors but not so consistent outdoors in bright light so unlike any of my other Leica cameras, I set it in camera. The DNG files tend to come up a little cool for my taste but I use a light preset based on Adobe Standard and within a click they are great for me. I’ve not noticed an ISO reading in the OVF, only the shutter speed and a preview of my exposure comp if using. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshua56 Posted August 8 Share #11 Posted August 8 (edited) You seem to have a very recent model with some practical improvements, which is cool! Looking forward to your feedback after outdoor testing. Mini MilitiaApp Lock Edited August 8 by joshua56 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedaes Posted August 8 Share #12 Posted August 8 (edited) 1 hour ago, joshua56 said: some practical improvements, The only improvements will come through FW changes. In fairness to OP the Manual does call the A (auto-speed) setting Aperture Priority Mode, which I guess it is as it responds to the aperture set on the lens in calculating exposure..
