The Leica M camera with EVF camera (Leica M11-V?) is rumored to be officially announced in October 2025:
During my last visit to Wetzlar, part of the production line was covered and not visible to visitors with the sign “Here is an innovative product in the making. Let us surprise you!”
This year, the Leica Camera Group is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Leica I together with a global community of photography enthusiasts. After international events organised by Leica national subsidiaries in the major cities of Dubai, Milan, and New York, celebrations took place at the company headquarters at the Leica Welt in Wetzlar last week, representing a further milestone of the centennial. Around 800 invited international guests from the fields of politics and business and the photography community, as well as representatives from Leica’s subsidiaries around the globe, were treated to a diverse program with product launches, exhibitions, and photography talks as well as an auction, which included an exceedingly rare historic camera.
