Leica M11-V is the name of the rumored M camera with EVF and the official announcement is coming soon

By LR admin | Published: March 22, 2025


The name of the upcoming Leica M camera with EVF is rumored to be Leica M11-V. Some internal sources referred to the camera as Leica M-V, but I believe the final model version will be Leica M11-V, just like the M11-D, M11-P, and the M11-M (the M with EVF model will be based on the M11-P).

The official announcement is coming soon: the latest beta version of the Leica Fotos App already contains references for the Leica M11-V model, which suggests the official announcement will be in the next few weeks.

I already posted several leaked pictures from a recent Leica survey where they described different design update options, and one of them included an EVF:

 
 
If the rumors I received are correct, the new M11-V will have a clean top plate and no ISO dial. This makes sense becuase they probably needed more space to fit the EVF unit – see one of the leaked pictures:


The Leica M12 and Leica with EVF (M11-V) are two different models. There will be no Leica M12 this year (2025), and maybe not even next year (unless it comes very late in 2026).

Fuji has a new medium format Leica Q look-alike

By LR admin | Published: March 20, 2025


Fujifilm has been carving its own path with its X-series and GFX systems, focusing on retro design and image quality, which some say rivals Leica’s vibe – especially with their film simulation modes that echo that classic, analog feel Leica is known for. The new 100MP Fujifilm GFX 100RF medium format camera with fixed lens, for example, looks very similar to a Leica Q, but with many more buttons, wheels, and levers:

Here is a quick specifications comparison between the Leica Q3 and the new Fujifilm GFX 100R – the price of the Fuji is very appealing:
