Leak reveals Leica M11-P and Leica M-A Hammertone Edition

According to the latest information from LeicaRumors, Leica will soon launch both a Leica M11-P ($10,400 on Amazon) and a Leica M-A with a Hammertone finish. LeicaRumors has already published a first image of the M-A with its hammered finish. In fact, the analog camera was already reissued this spring as a Hammertone Limited Edition to mark the 20th anniversary of the Leica Store Ginza, but this new version will reportedly no longer be produced in strictly limited numbers.

The new model also drops the "20 years" logo and apparently uses metal in a slightly darker shade. While no image of the Leica M11-P Hammertone is available yet, Leica will likely give both cameras a similar finish. The Leica M-A is the only analog camera in Leica's current lineup that does away with electronics entirely. As a result, the camera requires no battery, but it also lacks a light meter like those found in the Leica M-P and Leica M6. Its fastest shutter speed is also relatively slow at 1/1,000s.

The Leica M11-P, on the other hand, is the manufacturer's latest digital rangefinder camera. While the camera only supports manual focus and offers a classic rangefinder, the rest of its features are more in line with modern digital cameras. Leica includes a 60-megapixel full-frame sensor, a 3-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for a wireless connection to a smartphone, and 256 GB of internal storage that can be used simultaneously with an SDXC memory card.
