Distinctive Design

Since the 1970s, Leica Safari editions have stood out for their olive-green colour scheme. These robust special models have also been extremely popular ever since they were first introduced. The Leica M11-P Safari is writing the next chapter of this success story with its olive-green paint finish. It also features silver-coloured controls and dials on the top plate and front. As a discreet detail, it is topped off with a subtle silver screw rather than the red Leica logo. Last but by no means least, the engraved signature Leica script as well as the “Leica Camera AG” and “Wetzlar Germany” lettering lend the M11-P Safari classic elegance.

Of One Heart

Behind its stylish olive-green paint finish, the Leica M11-P Safari has all the same strengths and trend-setting features as the standard model. Based on the M11-P, the Safari Edition also comes with Leica Content Credentials – the forward-looking authentication technology for digital content. With its full-frame sensor, it captures images with up to 60 megapixels. Its internal 256 GB memory means you can snap photos to your heart’s content. The LCD panel, which is made of scratch-resistant sapphire glass, enables you to assess images with reliable accuracy. You will also have convenient access to your images at all times via the Leica FOTOS App and the option to automatically transfer images to your smartphone.

Timeless Aesthetics

The olive-green M11-P Safari goes particularly well with silver Leica M-Lenses, blending seamlessly and creating a harmonious impression. The stylish interplay of the camera controls accentuated in silver and the lens colour shines bright with an elegant, timeless aesthetic. The matching accessories made of high-quality cognac-coloured leather perfectly round off the Leica M11-P Safari’s iconic appearance.
