glad to see Leica newest firmware is addressing lockup and orientation issues. I was an early M11 user and frustrated by lockups on commercial work - documentary .. sold it.... m11 may be calling my name again in 2024. great detailed review.

You're not kidding. The USB-C charging port and actually good battery life means everything. As far as the colors from RAW files, I prefer the default RAW conversion offered by Capture One Pro over Lightroom Classic.

Great informative and delicate reviews. I have owned the M11 about as long as you do. What you said is similar to my overall opinions about this great camera. The image quality, color, DR, transition through the shadow to mid-ton and highlight, all these visual stuff are incredible, especially reviewing the images via high resolution big screen. BTW, I also think the magenta tendency over white balance actually pretty fit the skin tone of Asian.

Great longterm review Jimmy! I curious how do you find the black finish of the M11? I was a bit surprised and disappointed it felt some how like sand paper, but other users report it get smoother after some time of usage. How is your M11? Because of all these issues reported i didn’t jump on the M11 yet. Instead I currently rocking the Q3 43 next to a Leica MP black paint 🙃

I got a M11 2 months ago. Still trying to get used to it, appreciate if you can do a video about what's the different between all WB modes. Thanks for the video btw Jimmy!

I generally use daylight instead AWB these days (I used to only use AWB). Reason being the pinkish tint I mentioned in the video. Anyways, each is quite self-explanatary in a sense that you use daylight when there is sun, use cloud when it's overcast, etc...

Great samples. Two years turns out to be a great time for a long term review since they recently fixed most of the freezing issues (including today's update 2.1.3 for lingering issues such as your upside down image issue). M11 has four shutter motions just like all other mirrorless cameras when using the mechanical shutter: 1) close shutter 2) open to start exposure 3) close to end exposure 4) reopen to resume metering. Previous Ms only have two shutter motions since metering was done off the closed shutter blades: 1) open to start exposure 2) close to end exposure. It would help so much if Leica finally gave us EFCS shutter so we could skip the M11's 1) and 2) actions, returning us to only two shutter actions to complete an exposure.

I have no complaints with the M11, and with the previous firmware, 99.99% of the firmware issues disappeared. Great colors, fast response, impressive sensor, long lasting battery, usbc changing.The only issue, which has always been the same, is the time to turn on, but i can say i am a happy m11 user, (I am coming from an m240, and m10)
