Leica SL2 + Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70 f/2.8 ASPH.

Leica presents the milestone in the company’s long history of premium cameras – the Leica SL2 now bundled with the exciting new Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70f/2.8 ASPH. lens to create photographs and videos of legendary Leica image quality and unlock your limitless potential.   

The most important decisions are made in synergy with the heart and mind. With the Leica SL2, a versatile, sustainable and uniquely advanced tool, you have the choice to uncompromisingly express your creativity with passion and precision.

The Leica SL2 combines a brand new 47 megapixel full frame CMOS sensor with state-of-the-art sensor-based Body Image Stabilization to get the best image and video quality possible with all Leica lenses. The new Maestro III processor enables fast burst shooting and 4K for the highest quality and flexibility, and the optional Cine Mode speaks the language of cinematographers who require a professional work flow. The new OLED EVF with 5.76 million dots of resolution guarantees the clearest view and composition through a Leica lens. These new technical achievements paired with a larger 3.2″ rear LCD and the essential Leica three-button control layout make the SL2 the most capable and approachable professional system camera.

The Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24–70 f/2.8 ASPH. is equally suited to reportage, travel, studio, architectural and landscape photography, as well as portraits, close-ups, and video productions. With its extensive focal range and consistently high light sensitivity of f/2.8, the new addition is the quintessence of a universal lens.

The compact dimensions of the Vario-Elmarit-SL 24–70 f/2.8 ASPH. are made possible by the absence of in-lens optical image stabilization. When the lens is mounted on the SL2, the camera’s suspended image sensor provides highly effective image stabilization. This applies equally to still photography and video recordings. The aperture of the Vario-Elmarit-SL 24–70 f/2.8 ASPH. comprises 11 blades – facilitating a harmonious, circular bokeh. The minimum focusing distance of just 18 centimeters from the sensor plane (at the shortest focal length) and 38 centimeters (at the longest focal length) ensures exceptionally high-quality images even when shooting at close range.
