For decades, this Leica rangefinder system has been synonymous with its brand and is the basis for the charming shooting experience that Leica M cameras are famous for. But with the Leica M EV1, Leica has forged a new path, and it is sure to polarize its fans. <\/p>\n<p>  <center\/> <\/p>\n<p><em><strong><center>FCC authorization pending as of October 23, 2025:<\/center><\/strong> This product is not available for sale in the United States at this time.

At $8,995, the new camera is slightly lower in price than an M11-P, although I think the difference will go unnoticed by most prospective buyers. What this means for the system and what it changes to the experience is nuanced and complex, but I was eager to dive in and see for myself. <\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" data-perfmatters-preload=\"\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leica-M-EVF-Lever-Menu-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"A close-up view of a digital camera's back, showing a menu screen with the &quot;FN Lever&quot; options: Digital Zoom, Focus Aid (highlighted), Focus Peaking, and Off.

In fact, I would argue that the empty space looks a little unbalanced when looking at the front of the camera. The overall dimensions of the EV1 are essentially identical to the Leica M11, however. What does change, though, is the overall weight, with the EV1 weighing around 80 grams (2.8 ounces) less than the M11. The weight difference is noticeable.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_820843\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-820843\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leica-M-EVF-No-Rangefinder-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of a black Leica camera with a red Leica logo, focusing on the upper left side and lens, resting on a light-colored surface with a blurred background.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"size-large wp-image-820843\" srcset=\"https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leica-M-EVF-No-Rangefinder-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leica-M-EVF-No-Rangefinder-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leica-M-EVF-No-Rangefinder-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leica-M-EVF-No-Rangefinder-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-820843\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">There is just a blank space where the range finder would normally be.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The EV1 is, for all intents and purposes, an M11 body from the lens mount down.

However, the start-up delay is still the same 2.4 seconds as before, yet it feels much slower because the EVF takes that long to start up, too. On the M11, I could begin focusing the lens while the camera started up, which made the delay far more tolerable. With the EV1, the wait time before you can do anything is often frustrating. <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_820845\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-820845\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leica-M-EVF-Texture-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"A close-up photo of a black Leica camera placed on a wooden surface, showing the textured grip, lens cap with the Leica logo, and part of the strap.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" class=\"size-large wp-image-820845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leica-M-EVF-Texture-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leica-M-EVF-Texture-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leica-M-EVF-Texture-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Leica-M-EVF-Texture-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-820845\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I like the new texture on the M EV1.

It\u2019s important for me to state that the success rate for in-focus shots was about equivalent to what I get using a mechanical rangefinder. However, I could magnify much further when needed and ensure perfect focus when I could take a bit of time. This greatly adds to the utility of the EV1 to help focus lenses that have very thin depth of field or when using close-focusing macro optics. <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_820635\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-820635\" style=\"width: 531px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2025\/10\/L1000141-531x800.jpg\" alt=\"A person with long hair, a wide-brimmed hat, glasses, and visible tattoos holds a wine glass while looking down thoughtfully.
