The Digital M Era

The first digital M — an APS-H sensor in a classic M body, imperfect but historic.

The fastest production 50mm lens in the world at launch — f/0.95 lets in more light than any rival, earning it the title "King of the Night."

The "perfect 50" — APO-corrected, aspherical, and widely regarded as the highest-resolution 50mm lens ever made for any system.

The world's first black-and-white-only digital camera — a sensor stripped of its Bayer color filter to capture nothing but luminance.

The thinnest digital M — matched film-body thickness, restored the ISO dial, and defined the modern M aesthetic.

A 75mm portrait Noctilux with f/1.25 aperture — shallower depth of field than any previous M lens, for portraiture with a signature dreamlike rendering.

A 41MP black-and-white-only digital M with no colour filter array — every pixel captures pure luminance for maximum resolution and tonal depth.

The high-resolution M10: 40MP colour sensor, offering the M10's handling with the resolving power to match modern high-resolution lenses.

The apochromatic treatment comes to 35mm — nicknamed "35AA", with a class-breaking 0.3m close focus.

A 60MP black-and-white-only digital M — the highest-resolution Monochrom ever made, and notably the first M body without the iconic red dot logo.

The world's first camera with built-in Content Credentials (C2PA) — cryptographically signed provenance in every frame.

The first M body with an integrated electronic viewfinder — a historic break from 70 years of optical rangefinder-only M design.

Leica revives the 1959 Summilux optical formula — vintage rendering, brand-new glass.

The first 35mm Noctilux in the line's 60-year history.
