All of Leica’s cameras are iconic in their own right, but it’s the M series that perhaps has the most fervent following. Since last year’s reveal of the latest generation of the M-series with the M11, we’ve been waiting for Leica to unveil its usual collection of variations on that core camera. So far we have seen the black-and-white-sensor M11 Monochrom and now we have this generation’s M11-P variant.
The Leica M10-P was unique for its focus on a redeveloped silent shutter for quieter street photography or photojournalism, where discretion is paramount. The M11-P is also aimed at these audiences, but a quieter shutter is not the focus of the M11-P. Instead, the camera has a trick that’s to combat the rise in photos being misappropriated by AI.
The Content Credentials initiative is the start of a fightback by imaging companies (including Adobe, Leica and Nikon) and photographers to protect works from being misused by AI image generators while providing accreditation
