What owners say about the Leica M11-P

Based on 194 owners sharing their experience in online comments

64%positive16%mixed20%negative

Owners love its tactile, rewarding shooting and distinctive lens rendering, while recurring freezes and steep prices undermine confidence.

What owners dislike

  • Owners report the camera sometimes locks up or freezes, especially in live view, and the usual fix is removing and reinserting the battery.15
  • Owners say the high price is hard to justify, especially for lenses, and that the cost is difficult to explain to family or non-photographers.10
  • Owners report USB-C charging and connection problems, and say using a standard wall charger or a good-quality cable avoids most issues.10
  • Owners report hardware faults, such as a dead camera or settings resetting after updates, and some needed the PCB or entire body replaced.10
  • Owners say auto white balance often shifts images magenta, and many fix it with manual white balance settings or by correcting in software.8
  • Owners say focus peaking is inaccurate and reacts too sensitively, and the magnified focus aid lags, so many prefer to judge focus by eye.7
  • Owners say manual focus is too slow for active kids, low-light shots and portraits, so they miss shots compared with autofocus cameras.7
  • Owners say the rangefinder viewfinder is small and dark, and it is hard to see the full frame lines when wearing glasses.5
  • Owners report the rear screen can look soft or go dark, sometimes from static when rubbed by synthetic fabric, and a screen protector can help.5
  • Owners say exposure and metering need constant attention, including auto ISO minimum shutter speeds being exceeded and white balance requiring manual adjustment.5

  • Weather sealing helps on wet days.
  • Shutter speeds run as long as 3600 s.

What customers don't like about Leica M11-P

  • No AF tracking means a moving subject can slip out of focus.
  • At 4.5 fps, continuous shooting is slow for fast action.
  • There is no flash, so indoor shots depend on existing light.
  • At 80 mm thick, it is deep for a jacket pocket.
  • There is no HDMI output for an external monitor.

Verdict

Slow, deliberate shooting suits the Leica M11-P, a full-frame camera with a 60.3 MP sensor and an optical viewfinder that shows the whole frame. It works for a photographer who takes time over each shot and wants the result right without fuss. A base of 64 ISO and a top of 50000 ISO give room in dim streets and in bright noon light. The battery lasts 700 shots by the CIPA rating, a strong figure for a camera this size. Weather sealing and GPS are extras that many cameras lack. Storage is generous, with 256 GB built in. The trade-off is what is missing: no AF tracking, no flash, no HDMI output, and only 4.5 fps for continuous shooting. It fits someone who values the act of taking a picture above speed.
