According to the news, the Leica M11-D screenless camera will be released in May: it will be covered with black paint and the decorative rod will be removed

IT Home reported on March 31, according to foreign media Leica Rumors, Leica is expected to launch the M11-D camera in May, this special edition model continues the Leica digital M series models since the "big M" "screenless version" tradition, that is, "can immerse the photographer in the thrill of seizing the decisive moment", to avoid "press the shutter to see if the bottom is clear" situation (not a traditional sense of the machine, more for fun).

IT Home noted that foreign media claimed that this M11-D camera will use the classic Leica black paint coating, which is expected to be released in May, referring to the current Leica M11 / M11-P model, the camera is expected to continue to use STMicroelectronics' 60MP CMOS.

Foreign media also mentioned that the back of the relevant camera only provides an ISO dial, similar to the Leica M-D model of the Leica "Big M" era, instead of having an on/off and exposure compensation wheel on the back like the Leica M10-D.

▲ Leica M-D Typ 262, M11-D is expected to have a similar design

In addition, the M11-D camera is said to also cancel the previous Leica M10-D "decorative film lever" design, Leica highlighted the camera's "decorative film lever" when announcing the M10-D, claiming that "although the relevant film holder has no practical function, it can improve the user's feel", but this design is controversial, so it is not surprising that Leica will remove the relevant design in the new model.
