Leica camera 's visual color system has always been at the level of the industry's big shots. Good works are often described as "God" by people, and some even use "Drug De University, sharp knife and milk".
*Poison means that it is good to shoot, which makes people fascinated by "poisoning". German flavor refers to the unique flavor taken by German cameras and lenses. "Knife sharp" means that the photo is as clear and sharp as a knife cut, and "milky" means that the outside of the burnt is as soft as cream. The combination of the two is indeed a common feature of the imaging quality of Leica cameras and lenses.
makes many laymen sound more like a kind of "metaphysics", so many people around them talk about works taken by Leica cameras. Whether they understand or not, they can always mention "German flavor". It seems that "German flavor" is one of the criteria for measuring the quality of a photo.

What is "German flavor"?
Color is rich, that is, the color of the photo is thick but not heavy, the inside of the burner is as sharp as a knife, and the outside of the burner is as soft as an oil painting. The bright part of the German film is warmer and the dark part is cold. Its oily refers to smooth and delicate, with a uniform tone, transparent color, and dense transitions.

A light dark corner is an element that cannot be ignored and is also one of the most important sources of German flavor. In fact, this is a defect caused by the early lens and camera structure, but later it became an important feature of Leica flavor. The effect of the surrounding corners gives people the feeling of film and is particularly scented.

"German" photos, dark colors are not under exposure, bright colors are not exposed, which requires an accurate grasp of the shutter and aperture. In addition, many Leica fans said that the photos produced by Leica lenses are more tolerant than ordinary lenses, and you can see more details.

Leica M11 camera, 60 megapixels will present unprecedented details. This new process has significantly improved all parameters related to imaging performance: eye-catching dynamic range, excellent contrast reproduction, extraordinary clarity and optimal detail handling.

The ISO sensitivity range of the Leica M11 camera is 64-50000
wide ISO sensitivity range. With its dual-pixel gain technology, it records a 14-bit color bit depth, and can provide up to 15 dynamic range under ISO 64. Each photo shows the finest tone separation and very low noise, and the maximum sensitivity of ISO 50000 allows photographers to take photos in extremely low light conditions.
is equipped with a special IR+UV filter, which is glued with two extremely thin glass filters, which can effectively correct inclined incident light. Thanks to the new color filter matrix, the camera color restoration is better and more natural.

Leica M11 can always provide multi-region and spot metering options
metering is a major operational change.Previous M-series cameras used basic central focus metering systems, while the Leica M11 was able to always offer multi-zone and spot metering options, ensuring greater reliability under a wider range of lighting conditions.

is equipped with electronic shutter with speeds up to 1/16,000 seconds electronic shutter with speeds up to 1/16,000 seconds electronic shutter with speeds up to 1/16,000 seconds Leica has also added an electronic shutter option with speeds up to 1/16,000 seconds to facilitate shooting with large aperture lenses under strong light.
can also set up shots with mechanical shutters, which is very useful for landscape photographers using depth ND filters. (The shutter speed dial can be set for 8-1/4000 seconds, but by setting the B door mode, you can select the full range in the screen control panel.)
