# Remixed Stealthy Camera Concepts Wencheng Zhang Creates the Leica M Reimagined Concept By Amy Duong | Published 2024-03-18 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-m-reimagined References: [design-milk](https://design-milk.com/minimalist-leica-m-reimagined-concept/)  Wenchang Zhang is an industrial designer based in Shanghai and his recent creation is the '[Leica M](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica) Reimagined concept.' This is a celebration of the Leica M, which is known for its simple yet elevated functions. The Leica cameras only rely on a minimal amount of time to understand, making them very intuitive to work with. This simplicity makes its way to the Reimagined concept, made using a single block of aluminum alloy. It takes the classic Leica M as the control layout to improve the ergonomics by adding an angled top plate. The concept also has an additional viewfinder and large touch display which is inspired by the [M11](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensor-digital-camera) counterpart without the three custom function buttons for the sake of minimalism.
