Great review as usual. I was a little disappointed that you didn’t cover diffraction limits at smaller apertures.

We talked about diffraction limits with the 60MP sensor on our Red Dot Forum Camera talk M11 Monochrom episode. Definitely best practice to avoid stopping down past f/5.6 for most shooting on the M11M. I found that stretching to f/8 for times I really needed the extra depth of field was still okay. But for sure, I would not recommend f/11-f/16, as there will be noticeable diffraction and softening of details.

I downloaded the update file from the link in the email I received from Leica. Drug the file onto a freshly formatted SD card, inserted the card in the camera and performed the update. The update took about 3-4 minutes. Side note: before the update started it asked if I wanted to save my profiles to the card. I selected YES. After the update the profiles were restored.

I have just upgraded from my M (Typ 240) to a brand new M11 and immediately installed the latest firmware 1.6.1
Sadly, I still had two occasions today, where the M11 froze. I have not yet been able to make out any particular camera settings that might lead to the bug. I suspect it is to do with the live view.
