Craftsmanship You Can See and Feel

The Leica M11-P Hammertone’s top plate and base plate are crafted from solid brass and finished with a paint that has been used on high-quality technical instruments since the 1930s. The hammertone finish is created as the paint dries. This is a process that demands the utmost care and expertise at the Leica factory in Wetzlar. The subtle variations in surface tension created by metal pigments and special additives give each camera the unique texture that makes it so special. The classic cross knurling, shiny silver shutter release button, black leatherette covering in the traditional vulcanite style and white engravings define this special edition’s aesthetic.

Features of the Leica M11-P

The Leica M11-P Hammertone boasts all the technical features of the standard model. These include Leica Content Credentials, 256 GB of internal memory and a screen made of scratch-resistant, anti-reflective, sapphire crystal glass. The camera is also compatible with the Leica FOTOS App via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or cable. The full-frame sensor with Triple Resolution Technology delivers exceptional image quality at three resolutions: 60, 36, and 18 megapixels. This enables you to select the optimal image size for your subject and intended post-processing.

For Images with Verifiable Provenance

The Leica M11-P is the world’s first camera to seamlessly integrate content authentication in accordance with the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) and C2PA standards. The Leica M11-P Hammertone continues this technological approach without compromise. Once you have activated Leica Content Credentials in the camera menu, the camera will reliably sign every shot. This provides verifiable proof of the camera model, creator, image attributes and editing steps. This authenticity can be verified at any time, for example via contentcredentials.org/verify or in the Leica FOTOS App. The Leica M11-P Hammertone therefore helps you to transparently document the provenance of your images from the moment they are taken.
