Leica’s 100th anniversary M11-D sure is lovely, and likely to cost a small fortune.

Leica is announcing a special edition of its screen-less digital rangefinder camera alongside several other retro-styled limited editions. They commemorate the 100th anniversary of the original Leica I production camera (after it celebrated another centennial back in 2014).

We don’t know how much the super-special M11-D 100 Years of Leica set will cost, as Leica isn’t revealing the price until closer to its early-2026 launch. But look at this thing.

<em>The Leica M11-D 100 Years of Leica is reminiscent of the Leica I of 1925. Only 100 sets will be made. It includes an M11-D, reissued 50mm Anastigmat lens (pictured), and matching 50mm Summilux lens.</em>
<em>Any takers on guessing what this will cost? For reference, a regular M11-D and 50mm Summilux cost a combined $15,080.</em>
<em>In typical Leica fashion, even the box looks over-the-top.</em>
<em>Though, it’s slightly odd that this doesn’t come out until 2026.</em>
<em>The M11-D has a glossy paint finish with small details that mimic the original Leica I.</em>
<em>The original 50mm Anastigmat f/3.5 lens was permanently attached to the Leica I. The included reissue is an interchangeable version that’s never been released before.</em>
<em>The included 50mm f/1.4 lens is based on the current model that normally sells for $5,025 on its own.</em>
<em>The other centennial editions include a $499 Sofort 2 (top), $2,150 D-Lux 8 (bottom), and Trinovid 10x40 binoculars (right) for $2,799.</em>
