Leica released their latest M-body today – the M11. Basic selling point is the new triple resolution sensor essentially allowing you to choose between high resolution 60mp files or lower resolution files (36 or 18mp) giving better high ISO performance.

This thing is undoubtedly capable of producing gorgeous images and will probably do so with perfect ergonomics and unmatched build quality, BUT… the biggest issue I have with modern digital M-bodies is inconsistent range finder calibration. In the past, I’ve found that M8, M9, and M10 rangefinders let me down over time.

Oh… and if you get one, go for silver – it’s the only color way made in traditional brass.
