Leica M Series

The rangefinder that defined a century of photography.

The Leica M is the world's most iconic camera system — a rangefinder with a 70-year lineage. The M10-R pushed digital M resolution to 40MP; the M11 refined the formula with a BSI sensor available in multiple resolutions and a completely revised base plate. Both are manual-focus cameras for photographers who want to slow down.
