Leica M11 “What makes a legend” event scheduled in France for January 7th

By LR admin | Published: December 20, 2021


I already reported that the Leica M11 camera is expected to be officially announced on January 13th, 2022 based on the multiple events organized across the US by Leica Camera (Miami, Boston, Washington, Bellevue, and more).

It seems that there is another invitation going around in Europe for a Leica event under the same “What makes a legend?” slogan on January 7th, 2022 (see screenshot above). This invitation could be for the internal Leica M11 presentation. Either way, we should see the new Leica M11 in the first two weeks of 2022.

Here are the updated/rumored Leica M11 specifications (another set of M11 specifications is available at the Leica M11 Facebook Group):

By LR admin | Published: December 18, 2021


Leica quietly announced a new anniversary limited edition of the 35mm Summilux-M FLE Aspherical lens: Leica Summilux-M 1,4/35mm FLE ASPHERICAL “10 Jahre Summilux”.

The price is €14.500,00 (around $16,300).
