Confusion: Leica M11-V camera shows up at the FCC right before the Leica M EV1 is released in the US

By LR admin | Published: November 24, 2025

You may remember that in my initial rumors/reports from March 2025 about the upcoming Leica M camera with EVF, I reported the model name as Leica M11-V. The camera was later announced as Leica M EV1. We now know that my initial reports were 100% correct, as shown in this image of a Leica M EV1 prototype, labeled as Leica M11-V.

I already reported that the Leica M EV1 camera is rumored to be officially released in the US tomorrow (Monday, November 24th). The price will be $8,995. Check for pre-orders at:

Here is a new speculation: the delay in the release of the Leica M EV1 camera in the US was not caused by the government shutdown, but by Leica’s last-minute decision to change the name from Leica M11-V to Leica M EV1. The FCC filing (direct link) confirms this rumor – the camera is registered in the US as Leica M11-V:

The ultimate Leica watch alternative just dropped: meet the new “Camera One” photography inspired watch by Artra Designs you can get for under $1,000 (coupon code included)

By LR admin | Published: November 23, 2025

There is a new photography-inspired watch created by Artra Designs (the same company that makes the Artra lenses, sold at B&H Photo and Amazon – see previous coverage).

Artra Designs’ “Camera One” collection is a series of limited-edition mechanical watches rendered in premium materials with hand-finished movements visible through sapphire casebacks that pay homage to the golden age of photography, drawing inspiration from iconic cameras and lenses dating back to 1878. Each timepiece features dials and details crafted to resemble camera apertures, shutter blades, depth-of-field scales, and film advance mechanisms. The new Camera One limited edition watch comes in five different configurations (two of them are sold out already):
