Third-party reviews

What we like about Leica M Edition 60

  • Distraction-free shooting experience due to the lack of an LCD screen
  • Premium build quality with a unique stainless steel body
  • Tactile and intuitive manual controls for ISO, shutter speed, and aperture
  • Weather-resistant body sealing for protection against dust and water
  • Provides a 'film-like' experience while maintaining digital convenience

What we don't like about Leica M Edition 60

  • Extremely high price point and limited availability (only 600 units)
  • Significant weight increase compared to standard M models due to stainless steel
  • Lack of 'chimping' (instant photo review) can be frustrating for some digital users
  • No way to monitor battery life or change internal settings like white balance
  • The camera automatically enters sleep mode every 2 minutes with no way to adjust this setting
  • Lacks standard strap lugs, requiring a specific half-case for a strap

Verdict

Released to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the M-System, the Leica M Edition 60 is a minimalist digital rangefinder featuring a 24MP full-frame CMOS sensor and the Leica Maestro image processor. Distinguished by its lack of a rear LCD screen, the camera is constructed from stainless steel and focuses exclusively on essential manual parameters: shutter speed, aperture, and ISO (100–6400). Main pros include its exceptional Audi-designed build quality, quiet metal-leaved focal plane shutter, and a unique 'analog' digital experience that encourages deliberate composition. However, notable cons include its extreme weight (680g), the lack of strap lugs which necessitates careful handling, and a high entry price for a limited production run of only 600 units.
