The Leica M11 glossy black combines the latest technology from the series model with the classic design elements that first enamoured photographers in 1962 with the Leica M3 special edition. The brass top and base plates are finished with a glossy black paint finish. Over the years, frequent use creates a unique patina. This exclusive design variant is also characterised by the classic Leica engraving on the top plate, controls with a glossy black paint finish and the deliberate omission of the Leica red dot. Another stylish accent comes from the shutter release with a lustrous silver-chrome finish – a variant that was first fitted to the Leica M3. With its elaborate cross knurling on the ISO and shutter-speed dial, this special edition of the M11 features a further refinement that differs from the standard model both aesthetically and haptically.
