The First M with an Integrated EVF
The Leica M EV1 captures the purest expression of the M philosophy. It unites timeless design and authentic photographic craftsmanship with exceptional performance and image quality. Honouring the legacy of the M-System, it takes a bold step forward - expanding creative possibilities while staying true to Leica''s heritage.
Precision Where It Matters Most
With its integrated focus assist, the Leica M EV1 makes manual focusing effortless and exact. Focus peaking highlights the sharpest areas of your frame with a coloured overlay, giving real-time feedback for intuitive composition. Complementing this, the dual-level focus zoom provides enhanced magnification for even greater precision, especially when using fast Summilux or Noctilux lenses with shallow depth of field. Every frame is sharp, deliberate, and unmistakably yours.
Crystal-Clear OLED Viewfinder
Experience the scene with stunning clarity through the 5.76-megapixel OLED EVF. Brilliant colour reproduction and fine detail make every subject come alive. Shooting data including shutter speed, aperture, ISO and exposure compensation can be displayed outside the image area, keeping your composition front and centre. The customizable eye sensor ensures seamless switching between viewfinder and touch display, while a dioptre adjustment of -4 to +2 allows a perfectly tailored viewing experience.
See the Image Before You Capture It
Live View exposure preview shows exactly how your image will appear, from exposure and brightness to framing and focus. Whether using ultra-wide, telephoto, or specialty lenses, you maintain complete creative control without ever taking your eye from the camera. Tools such as digital zoom, level gauge and perspective control enhance your precision, giving you the freedom to compose intuitively and confidently.
One of the World''s Finest Sensors
Built on the technical foundation of the Leica M11, the M EV1 features a 60 MP BSI CMOS full-frame sensor with Triple Resolution Technology - among the most advanced available today. It delivers outstanding detail, dynamic range, and the distinctive "Leica Look" renowned for its depth and character. Choose between 60, 36, or 18 MP in DNG or JPEG formats. Powered by the Maestro III processor, images are processed swiftly and stored either on the 64 GB internal memory or an SD card.
Crafted for the Legendary M-Lenses
Designed to complement every M-Lens ever made since 1954, the M EV1 brings a new dimension to M photography. Its EVF reveals the complete field of view for any focal length - from wide-angle to telephoto - making it effortless to visualize the final image. Whether capturing fine details or expansive landscapes, the M EV1 ensures that the iconic optical performance of Leica lenses can be experienced in its purest form.
Connected Creativity with the Leica FOTOS App
Seamlessly connect the M EV1 to the Leica FOTOS App via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or cable. Review, edit, back up and share your images instantly. Background transfer enables automatic, energy-efficient preview delivery to your smartphone - ensuring your photos are always ready to access and share.
Confidence Through Content Credentials
In a world increasingly shaped by AI generated imagery, Leica integrates the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) standard into the M EV1. This technology helps verify the origin and history of every photograph - essential for professionals who value integrity and transparency.
