Introducing the Leica M11-D “100 Years of Leica” Anniversary Set — a masterful blend of heritage and innovation, created to honor a century of photographic excellence since the launch of the original Leica I in 1925.
This exclusive collector’s edition pays homage to the past while embracing the future. With a design language inspired by the original Leica I, the M11-D features top and base plates crafted from solid brass with a high-gloss black lacquer finish that develops a unique patina over time. Every detail, from the nickel-colored knurled controls to the conical shutter release and richly textured leather wrap, evokes the elegance and mechanical purity of early Leica craftsmanship.
In a bold return to the essentials, the M11-D omits the rear display screen, red Leica logo, and even strap eyelets, focusing entirely on the tactile and intentional experience of rangefinder photography. It’s a modern digital camera with an analog soul, encouraging a more deliberate and immersive approach to image-making.
Beneath the timeless exterior lies Leica’s cutting-edge technology: a 60 MP full-frame BSI CMOS sensor, Triple Resolution Technology (60/36/18 MP), Maestro III image processor, 256 GB of internal storage, USB-C connectivity, and seamless integration with the Leica FOTOS app. The M11-D supports Content Credentials, ensuring transparency and authenticity in every image.
Included in the set are two special edition lenses that celebrate Leica’s optical legacy. The Leitz Anastigmat-M 50 f/3.5 is a faithful recreation of the collapsible lens used on the original Leica I, while the Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 ASPH. combines modern optical excellence with vintage design cues. Both lenses feature a nickel anodized finish and engraved markings that match the camera’s heritage aesthetic.
Limited to just 100 individually numbered sets, this anniversary edition is delivered in a hand-crafted black lacquered wooden presentation box, complete with a period-inspired leather strap, SD card case, and certificate of authenticity. The first 100 cameras are numbered 001 to 100, with a unique number 000 reserved as the symbolic one-millionth Leica M camera, destined for the Leica Archive.
The Leica M11-D “100 Years of Leica” set is more than a commemorative piece — it is a celebration of photographic artistry, mechanical excellence, and the enduring legacy of Leica. Designed for discerning photographers and collectors alike, it captures not just images, but the very spirit of Leica’s century-long journey.
