It takes a bold camera manufacturer to create some of the most expensive cameras available that lack many of the features and functionality we’ve come to expect, but this is Leica we’re talking about. And despite its limited functionality, the black & white only Leica M11 Monchrom produces excellent image quality with a tactile shooting experience that’s as close as you can get to shooting manually with a film camera, and the experience is exquisite.
