Is the leica m11 good for beginners?

Honestly, I wouldn't start with the Leica M11. It's a rangefinder, so you focus manually through the viewfinder, and the body has no stabilisation, so slow shutter speeds need stabilised lenses. If you're still learning exposure and focus, that's a steep start.

If you're set on it, it's a joy to use once the basics click. Pair it with a standard lens such as the Leica Summicron-M 50mm f/2 or the Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH, which cover most everyday subjects.

For a first camera, I'd look at the Your first camera guide first. It covers how to choose by size, handling and lens range, and it's worth reading before you spend big on a rangefinder.
