Leica M11

The Leica M11 is a curious machine - designed in the 21st century, but developed in large part midway through the 20th. When Leica introduced the M3 rangefinder in 1954, they created a way of seeing that photographers have refused to abandon. Nearly seventy years later, the M11 is still recognisably the same camera: manual focus, optical rangefinder, M-mount lenses.

What's changed is everything underneath. A 60-megapixel backside-illuminated sensor. Triple resolution technology that lets you choose between 60, 36, or 18 megapixels. 15 stops of dynamic range. An electronic shutter reaching 1/16000th of a second. And compatibility with almost every M-mount lens ever made - some now approaching their own 70th birthdays.

At $8,995, the M11 costs more than a complete mirrorless system with autofocus, image stabilisation, and features the Leica deliberately omits. That's rather the point. Some photographers want the camera to disappear; others want to feel every frame they make. The M11 is for the latter.

Gizmo is a collection of design-led art prints built around the machines that shaped how we made music, wrote code, played and connected with the world. Synthesisers and drum machines. Cameras and home computers. Calculators and handheld devices that once felt like the future.

Each print is a carefully constructed illustration that isolates what made an object memorable - its proportions, controls, typography, surfaces, and small acts of engineering intelligence. Not retro sentimentality, but honest observation: what made these machines distinctive, how they looked when they were new, and why their forms still resonate.

Adapted from and inspired by Simon Tyler's forthcoming book Gizmo: Retro-Tech We Loved and Lost, published by Laurence King in May 2026.

All prints are produced to order on 250gsm archival matte paper using pigment-based inks, chosen for colour accuracy and long-term stability.

Each print is rolled in acid-free tissue and shipped in a rigid cardboard tube, sealed for moisture protection, ready for framing on arrival.
