The design is extremely sleek, as the material gives it a shiny finish, and the overall look is also [slightly vintage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leica-m11d). The entire piece was completed in collaboration with Audi Design, and each camera was made by hand. When it comes to finding a camera that's high-quality and completed with the utmost care, the Leica T System is one of the better options.
