M-EV1 Body Digital Camera

The First M with Integrated EVF

In the Leica M EV1, tradition meets innovation. Every detail, every contour, every tactile sensation reflects a philosophy that has endured for generations: precision, craftsmanship, and authenticity. Now, for the first time in the M-System, this heritage is enhanced with an integrated electronic viewfinder, opening a new dimension for photographers who demand both creative freedom and uncompromising control.

Precision Where Vision Meets Craft

Manual focus has never been so intuitive. Focus assist guides the eye, focus peaking illuminates the active plane, and dual-level focus zoom lets you pinpoint every detail with absolute certainty. From the subtle highlights of a portrait to the delicate textures of a cityscape, the M EV1 ensures your vision is captured exactly as you see it. Even fast Summilux and Noctilux lenses, with their shallow depths of field, can be mastered effortlessly.

See the World in Crystal Clarity

The high-resolution 5.76-megapixel OLED EVF brings every scene to life. Colours are vibrant, details are sharp, and essential shooting information can be displayed outside the frame, allowing your eye to remain on the subject. The configurable eye sensor ensures smooth transitions between the viewfinder and touch panel, while dioptre adjustment (-4 to +2) adapts the viewfinder precisely to your eyesight.

Compose with Confidence

Live View reveals every nuance—brightness, composition, framing—in real time. Ultra-wide angles, super-telephoto lenses, and creative filters are effortlessly integrated into your workflow. With digital zoom, level gauge, and perspective control, you compose with intuition and precision, capturing images that resonate with your personal vision.

The Power of One of the World’s Finest Sensors

At its heart, the M EV1 carries the 60 MP BSI CMOS full-frame sensor from the M11, featuring Leica’s Triple Resolution Technology. The result is unmistakable: exquisite colour fidelity, remarkable detail, and a dynamic range that gives every image presence and depth. Capture in 60, 36, or 18 MP DNG or JPEG, with files safely stored on 64 GB internal memory or an SD card, while the Maestro III processor ensures seamless performance.

Legendary M-Lenses, Elevated

Since 1954, Leica M-Lenses have been celebrated for their optical precision and character. The M EV1 enhances this legacy, displaying the full lens field—from wide angle to telephoto—through the EVF, allowing every perspective to be seen and composed with absolute clarity. M photography, once defined by skill and patience, is now enriched with unprecedented ease and control.

Connected, Secure, Authentic

The Leica FOTOS App ensures your images travel as swiftly as your creativity. Review, edit, back up, and share effortlessly. Meanwhile, Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) technology safeguards the integrity of each photograph, offering verifiable proof of origin and history in a tamper-proof format.

A New Chapter in the M-System

The Leica M EV1 is more than a camera; it is a bridge between heritage and innovation. Manual photography, celebrated for its precision, now meets the clarity and insight of an integrated EVF. Every lens, every frame, every image is an invitation to explore your creative vision, guided by the legendary craftsmanship of Leica.
