Leica is rumored to announce a new M11 black paint limited edition camera with “Dubai” or “UAE” engraved on the top side (maybe M11-P this time, but I don’t think so). The official announcement should happen very soon.
Update – here are the latest details:
The new camera will be a limited edition M11, black paint, with contrast silver ISO and shutter speed dials and words “Dubai UAE” on top instead of “Wetzlar Germany”. Number of the item (001/100) engraved on the hotshoe. That would be a part of a series of similar releases – probably next would be the US and China. The official announcement is expected tomorrow, January 22nd. The price will be around $10,000.
This edition will be limited to 100 pieces – celebrating the 100th Leica anniversary:
2024: 70 years of Leica M cameras and 100 years since the production of the Leica I
Next year (2025) Leica will celebrate 100 years since the release of their first 35mm film camera
The new Leica M11 “Glossy Black” camera is now in stock for the first time
