  • Fully functional underwater housing, designed for Leica M10 and Leica M11 cameras. Main body accommodates both, requiring only an additional baseplate and backplate to switch between the two cameras.

    Full control over manual focus and manual aperture.

  • Main body, integrated front port and backplate, CNC machined from billet 6061 aluminium, sandblasted, hard anodised black.

  • PVD coated Grade 4 titanium hardware for durability and corrosion resistance. Each piece of hardware is designed and crafted to balance form and function, from knurled handles, bolts and dials to sleek pushers, extending to the baseplate your camera is secured to.

  • Flat port and custom viewing windows fitted with optical quartz.

    Features a 2× magnified aperture viewing window. This circular, convex glass window serves an important technical purpose and presents engineering and manufacturing complexity.

    Flat port glass is AR coated, inside only.

“I spent years dragging half functioning prototypes through expeditions, fully committed as my work regressed, forming a design for the M which preserves exactly what makes it so special. It’s manual. It’s mechanical. It forces you to slow down and find rhythm in the challenge. It’s honest.”
