A $9,000 digital camera with no LCD screen? It's not a joke – the latest Leica is as serious as it gets

If you love the best Leica cameras on the market but also enjoy the analog experience, then hold onto your seat! The new Leica M11-D offers the tactile, pure photography experience that Leica is known for, while integrating cutting-edge digital features. 

The removal of the traditional LCD screen in favor of a large, traditional ISO dial further enhances the camera’s focus on pure shooting – and is an homage to the Leica M6 and Leica M7 film camera that came before it. This to me is a true work of art, and something that I've personally been waiting years for.
