The M encapsulates the essence of our philosophy like no other camera. It embodies timeless aesthetics and true photographic authenticity, paired with uncompromising craftsmanship and exceptional image quality. The Leica M EV1 honours this legacy while expanding its horizons.
With focus assist, the Leica M EV1 offers a seamless entry into the world of M photography. This makes manual focusing a matter of pure precision. Focus peaking highlights the active focus plane with a coloured overlay, offering real-time guidance to help you frame your composition.
Used separately or additionally, the focus zoom with two levels of magnification ensures precise control. Particularly when using fast Summilux and Noctilux lenses with shallow depths of field and at close range, you can achieve sharp focus with the help of focus assist. For photographs as distinctive as your perspective on the world.
The high-resolution 5.76-megapixel EVF delivers brilliant colours and outstanding clarity, capturing every detail of your subject. All shooting data – shutter speed, aperture, ISO and exposure compensation – can be shown outside the image, allowing you to maintain full focus on your composition. An individually configurable eye sensor enables smooth transitions between the viewfinder and touch panel, while the dioptre adjustment from -4 to +2 fine tunes the viewfinder image to suit your vision.
The Live View exposure preview displays every nuance – from brightness to image framing – in real time. Whether you’re working with ultra-wide-angle or super-telephoto lenses or creative photo filters, you maintain complete control over your composition, without ever taking your eye away from the camera.
All settings are instantly visible, unlocking new creative possibilities with the Leica M. Using advanced tools like digital zoom, level gauge and perspective control, you can compose your images with precision, freedom and intuition.

Technically, the Leica M EV1 builds on the foundation of the M11, featuring its 60 MP BSI CMOS full-frame sensor with Triple Resolution Technology – one of the world’s most advanced. Precise colour rendering, remarkable detail and a high dynamic range lend images the unmistakable Leica Look, with vivid depth and striking presence. Images can be captured in DNG or JPEG format at resolutions of 60, 36 or 18 MP. The powerful Maestro III processor handles data swiftly and reliably, storing it either on the 64 GB internal memory or an SD card.
Masterpieces Crafted by Hand: The Leica M-Lenses
The Leica M EV1 expands the horizons of M photography. Whether you’re photographing close-up subjects or sweeping vistas, the EVF renders every perspective in brilliant clarity and streamlines the use of every M-Lens since 1954. Unlike a traditional rangefinder, the integrated EVF consistently displays the lens’ full field of view – from wide angle to telephoto. This enables you to see every detail precisely as it will be captured. For M photography, where the legendary strengths of M-Lenses can be harnessed more effortlessly than ever.

Confidence in Digital Image Content:
Content Credentials
In an era shaped by AI-generated imagery, the pioneering CAI (Content Authenticity Initiative) technology is emerging as a vital foundation for building confidence in digital image content. In photojournalism especially, it functions as an essential tool for safeguarding the authenticity and integrity of each image. Like other Leica cameras, the Leica M EV1 is equipped with this technology and, if desired, enables the origin and history of an image to be clearly traced. All photographic parameters can be accessed in a tamper-proof format via contentcredentials.org/verify.
The Leica M EV1 marks a milestone as the first M-Camera to feature an integrated electronic viewfinder (EVF), ushering in an entirely new segment within the M-System. Complementing both digital and analogue M-Cameras with optical rangefinders, it expands the traditional M-System by introducing the benefits of an EVF. Enjoy uncompromising control over manual photography – no matter your eyesight. Unleash your creative potential with the help of our legendary M-Lenses. With the first M featuring an EVF.
