Leica M EV1 20229 (including a free BP-SCL7 spare battery)

📸 Leica M EV1 – A new chapter in M photography

🕰️ Tradition meets innovation

For over seven decades, the Leica M has stood for timeless photography – for a focus on the essentials, masterful craftsmanship and the magic of conscious seeing.
With the new Leica M EV1, Leica is now opening another chapter in this legend:
The first Leica M with an integrated electronic viewfinder (EVF).

👉 It is not a revolution, but a gentle evolution – a bridge between the past and the future.
A Leica as we know it – only with new eyes.


🔍 A viewfinder that shows what really matters

At the heart of the M EV1 lies the brilliant 5.76 MP OLED viewfinder – the same one we know from the Leica Q3.
It displays the image exactly as the sensor sees it: clear, high-contrast, true to colour.
The motto is:

🌄 Whether in the studio, on the move or in low light – the electronic viewfinder delivers a razor-sharp, realistic image and makes composing shots more intuitive than ever before.
With integrated dioptre adjustment (–4 to +2 dpt) and automatic switching between EVF and LCD, your view of the subject is always perfect.


🧩 Purism in perfection

The Leica M EV1 remains a true Leica – manufactured in Germany without compromise. 🇩🇪
Its magnesium and aluminium body is covered in fine faux leather with a diamond pattern – robust, elegant and unmistakable.

No superfluous controls, no rangefinder window – just pure form and function.
The new image field selector serves as a multifunctional FN lever that directly activates focus aids or zooms.
In addition, five customisable function buttons are available – for absolute control and intuitive operation.


⚙️ Performance meets precision

Inside, a 60 MP full-frame BSI CMOS sensor with Triple Resolution Technology is at work – offering a choice of 60, 36 or 18 megapixels.
The powerful Leica Maestro III processor ensures lightning-fast processing, natural colours and impressive dynamic range.

💾 64 GB of internal storage offers flexibility, complemented by an SD slot (UHS-II, up to 2 TB) .
All housed in a minimalist, compact body that exudes perfection in true Leica style.


🎯 Focusing – reimagined

Thanks to focus peaking, focus magnification and digital zoom (1.3× / 1.8×), precise manual focusing is now even easier.
Whether with a Summilux-M 1:1.4/35 ASPH. or a Noctilux-M 1:1.25/75 ASPH. – the M EV1 reveals every nuance of sharpness right in the viewfinder.

The FN lever allows you to switch directly between focus aids without having to go into the menu.
🎛️ This keeps your creative focus where it belongs – on the subject.


🔄 Unlimited compatibility

Of course, the M EV1 remains part of the Leica DNA. ❤️
It is fully compatible with all Leica M lenses – from classic Summicrons to the modern APO series.
With the R-Adapter-M, Leica R lenses can also be used – perfect for anyone who wants to make the most of the diversity of Leica optics.

Whether extreme wide-angle, telephoto or macro – the EVF allows you to work with precision, without the need for an additional viewfinder or display.


🛡️ Leica Content Credentials – authenticity guaranteed

In an age of digital manipulation, Leica is sending a strong message:
The M EV1 saves every shot with Leica Content Credentials – a forgery-proof signature system compliant with CAI and C2PA standards .
This ensures every file remains verifiably authentic – and the integrity of your work is protected. 🔐


🌐 Connectivity & Workflow

With Wi-Fi (2.4 / 5 GHz) and Bluetooth 5.0, the M EV1 integrates seamlessly into modern workflows.
📱 Using the Leica FOTOS app, images can be transferred, shared and tagged with geodata.
For professional workflows, tethered shooting with Capture One is also possible.
