Tradition Reimagined — The First Leica M camera with an Integrated EVF

The Leica M EV1 camera merges the timeless DNA of the M-System with the precision of modern innovation. For the first time, a Leica M features an integrated electronic viewfinder (EVF)—combining the tactile, intuitive feel of rangefinder photography with the accuracy and convenience of digital composition. Every element of this camera is crafted to empower photographers to focus, frame, and capture their vision with complete control.
 

Precision in Every Frame

The 5.76 MP OLED electronic viewfinder delivers a crystal-clear preview of your image exactly as it will be captured—showing composition, focal length, and exposure in real time. With dioptre adjustment from -4 to +2 and focus assist functions, manual focusing becomes effortless, even when working with Summilux or Noctilux lenses at extremely shallow depths of field, or when using ultra wide-angle, telephoto, or macro lenses.
 

Uncompromising Image Quality

At its core lies a 60 MP BSI CMOS full-frame sensor with Triple Resolution Technology, ensuring exceptional detail, color depth, and dynamic range. The built-in 64 GB internal memory allows for flexible shooting even without an SD card, while Leica’s Content Credentials Technology provides secure, verifiable image authenticity—a hallmark of Leica’s modern digital craftsmanship.
 

Iconic Design, Refined for Today

The M EV1 embodies Leica’s commitment to enduring design: compact, discreet, and unmistakably M. Its elegant leatherette covering with a diamond-pattern texture enhances grip and aesthetics, while the intuitive controls maintain the minimalist, timeless form that defines the M-System.
 

Connected Creativity

Seamlessly connect the M EV1 to the Leica FOTOS App for instant image transfer, remote control, and workflow integration. Whether shooting on location or traveling light, this camera ensures that creative flexibility is always at your fingertips.
 

The Next Chapter in the M Story

The Leica M EV1 bridges heritage and innovation—honoring over seven decades of craftsmanship while embracing the precision and performance of modern imaging. It’s not just an evolution of the M—it’s a new way to see, compose, and create with Leica.
