As Leica celebrates its 100th anniversary since the unveiling of the original Leica I, the company unveiled the new Leica M11-P Safari.
This is the continuation of a legacy, one that dates back to the 1970s when Leica’s now-iconic olive-green Safari Editions first carved their niche into the annals of design history.
The Leica M11-P Safari is as much a statement as it is a camera. Its matte olive-green brass top plate gives it a rugged elegance, perfectly complemented by a matching leatherette that adds grip, texture, and an earthy charm that feels right at home.
The red dot has been replaced with a minimalist silver screw. The top plate’s silver controls pop subtly against the green, while the back features sleek black dials, all tying together with an understated confidence that whispers.
The pièce de résistance is an engraved Leica script and “Wetzlar Germany” marking, a tribute to where it all began.
Beneath its olive-toned exterior lies all the tech of the standard M11-P. A full-frame BSI CMOS sensor with Triple Resolution Technology allows you to toggle between 60, 36 or 18 megapixels. Add to that an internal 256GB of storage and a sapphire crystal LCD panel with anti-reflective coating, and you’re getting a true workhorse dressed in a safari jacket.
The M11-P Safari includes Leica’s content credentials technology, meaning every image is embedded with tamper-proof metadata. Copyrights, edit timestamps, and camera information are all baked in.
The camera ships with a black Leica strap packaged in fully sustainable, plastic-free materials, manufactured locally in Germany.
Priced at S$14,200 (inclusive of GST), it isn’t a casual purchase, but then again, Leicas never are. They’re investments, both in craft and in the act of seeing.
