My First Rangefinder! Leica M11 Review: Unboxing, Accessories, Sample Photos

Initial impression and sample photos from Leica M11

Voigtlander Apo Lanthar 35, 50mm and Apo Skopar 90 are spectacular, will pair well with the m11. Also you can use them with your sl2 and cl via adapter. Enjoy your new toy mate 😉🇦🇺

You mentioned deciding between the Apo-Summicron and Summilux. I'd recommend checking out the Voigtlander Apo-lanthar f2 and Nokton f1.2 lenses. Both are incredible lenses that come very close to their Leica counterparts, but both can be had for less than $1, 000 each. Highly recommend.

Like it !
The Leica new M11 is very unique and outstanding tools.

Leica Q2 is a gateway drug to the Leica M series. I know I want one now after getting my Q2

The 50 Summilux is an amazing lens. It's simply one of the very best lenses in the world.

You might consider the Summarit lenses. I love their rendering. Only downside is the limited close focis

“In all street photograohy, i had to use LR to bring down the highlights, bring up the shadows.”

…know on fuji as DR400 mode where as the camera does this automatically in camera, even in RAW files! Producing gorgeous and filmic pix straight out of camera

There nothing worse after a day of street photography than coming home with purposely underexposed photos that look terrible behind the camera, condemning you to hours in LW.

These cameras are portable computers, theres no reason why we can’t have them shift the dynamic range to allow 3 stops of hi light extraction at the expense of shadow details as fuji dr400 mode does.

You end up with less post work, better OOC results, and a less digital looking images.

Great video, I'm considering getting a Leica M soon. I updated a video recently on Leica M that I rented for a week. Let me know what you think.

Does not feels plastic at all. It’s feels rough, hard and solid.

[cornellouis]

8 months later, if you had to keep only 1 of them, which one would you keep?

[watchmedicine]

Do you think an M11 would be a worthy addition to a Leica q2..I just love using the q2 it’s so nice to work with

[nophotoallowed]

yes the lens is deal killer and summilux 50 is the right choice. Enjoy the new toy man

[naturegood]

One day I'll have one... In silver 😊

[byazrov]

Cheap lense makes it almost pointless to have such a great camera.

[thomastuorto]

Unless you need or want the $$ for more or other equipment, keep everything.

[jacovanlith]

Your video is unsharp and underexposed.
