The Leica M11 will apparently be treated to a very limited special edition, which has now been leaked on multiple images. It appears that the full-frame rangefinder camera will receive numerous small design changes, but Leica won't alter the overall appearance.

According to latest reports from LeicaRumors, Leica is going to unveil a new limited-edition Leica M11 as early as tomorrow, January 22nd. This special release commemorates the 100th anniversary of Leica's very first 35mm camera and is strictly limited to only 100 units. Early leaked images suggest that the camera is based on the glossy black Leica M11, featuring a "Dubai UAE" inscription on the top and silver instead of black buttons and dials.

The serial number range from 001 to 100 and will be engraved on the hot shoe. Supposedly, this is the first of several limited editions that are planned for 2025. Dedicated special edition cameras are planned for the Chinese and American market. LeicaRumors claims that the camera's technical specifications are identical to the regular glossy black Leica M11, which retails for $8,955. Therefore, the limited edition lacks the upgrades found in the Leica M11-P, which means that it will come without Adobe Content Credentials support and the larger 256GB flash storage. Despite these omissions, the limited edition is expected to carry a higher price tag.

The Leica M11 is one of the few rangefinder cameras available on the market. Aside from Leica, the French startup Pixii is the only other company that currently makes digital rangefinder cameras. The Leica M11 is equipped with a 60-megapixel full-frame sensor which can capture up to 4.5 frames per second using either a mechanical or electronic shutter. The 2.95-inch touchscreen has a resolution of 2.3 million pixels. Images can be saved to the internal 64GB storage or an SD card. Unfortunately, the Leica M11 does not support video recording. For more detailed specifications, please refer to the camera’s official product page.
