Leica M6 Leica M11 Monochrom At first glance, the Leica M6 and Leica M11 Monochrom belong to completely different photographic eras. One records images on 35mm film; the other uses a 60-megapixel digital monochrome sensor. Yet both are built around essentially the same proposition: slow the process down, focus manually and make the photographer responsible for the image. The real choice is therefore not simply analogue versus digital. It is whether you want the physical discipline and unpredictability of film, or the specialised image quality and convenience of a digital camera that still preserves the traditional Leica M rangefinder experience.

The Leica M11 Monochrom is one of the most specialised digital cameras available today: a full-frame rangefinder designed exclusively for black-and-white photography. Instead of capturing colour and converting it later, its dedicated monochrome sensor records luminance directly, placing tonal detail, contrast and photographic intention at the centre of the entire shooting experience.
