Should I upgrade from the Leica M10 to the Leica M11?
Upgrading is worth it if those changes matter to your photography. Both use the Leica M mount, so your lenses fit directly.
What you gain
- 60MP instead of 24MP
- a lighter body (530g vs 660g)
- 5 years of newer processing and autofocus (2017 → 2022)
What you give up
- slower bursts (4.5fps vs 5fps)
- noisier high ISO
What it costs
| M11 new | £8,300 |
| M11 used (MPB, typical) | £5,140 |
| Your M10 trade-in (rough estimate) | ≈ £2,460 |
| Net cost buying used | ≈ £2,680 |
Trade-in estimates assume about two-thirds of the typical MPB resale price; real offers vary with condition and shutter count.

Frequently asked questions
Should I upgrade from the Leica M10 to the Leica M11?
The upgrade is worth it if those changes matter to your photography. You gain 60MP instead of 24MP, a lighter body (530g vs 660g), 5 years of newer processing and autofocus (2017 → 2022), but you lose slower bursts (4.5fps vs 5fps) and noisier high ISO.
How much does it cost to upgrade from the M10 to the M11?
The M11 costs £8,300 new and about £5,140 used at MPB. Trading in a used M10 might bring roughly £2,460, so the net cost is around £2,680 buying used (a rough estimate: get quotes from MPB, Wex and Park Cameras).
Will my M10 lenses work on the M11?
Both use the Leica M mount, so your lenses fit directly.
