Sometimes this role isn’t easy, how do you objectively compare a highly specialized camera aimed at the upper echelons of photography connoisseurs to the all bells-and-whistles best mirrorless cameras? Cameras like the Sony A7R V or Canon EOS R3 are technical marvels, the Leica M11 Monochrom is a rangefinder design, manual focus only, black and white sensor camera, that doesn’t shoot video, and costs nearly the same as those two aforementioned cameras combined, on paper, it should be laughed out of the room.
But this is Leica, a company renowned for its prestige design and build that attract only the most well-heeled photography enthusiasts, who don’t come seeking groundbreaking technology, but the image quality and the sheer joy of photography that Leica cameras provide. Leica cameras require you to be a "proper photographer" in the traditional sense more than any other camera on the market, this is the closest you can get to a film-like experience in digital, and all the frustrations and triumphs that come with that.
