The Leica SL (Typ 601) represents the pinnacle of design and technology from Leica Camera and is the perfect tool for professionals. Featuring a full-frame, self-cleaning 24 megpixel CMOS sensor, the SL offers the highest possible image quality with the fewest compromises. An integrated 4.4 megapixel electronic viewfinder with 0.8x magnification gives a huge field of view and a bright, crisp overview of the scene. Auto focus speed is class-leading. As an interchangeable lens mirrorless camera, the SL is packed with advanced features such as full weather and dust sealing, a touch-screen rear LCD, Wi-Fi and GPS, dual SD card slots, 4k video, 11 fps burst rate and a versatile lens mount. In addition to the new line of full-frame Leica L lenses, the SL (Typ 601) accepts Leica TL-System lenses natively (and automatically crops to an APS-C mode). Leica M, S, R, and cine lenses can be mounted with various adapters.
With its full-frame CMOS sensor, the Leica SL sets new standards in professional camera systems category thanks to the combination of outstanding speed and unrivaled optical performance. With the fastest auto-focus in its class and the exceptional Leica image quality, photographers always achieve brilliant imaging results - in still images and in 4k video.
Made in Germany, the Leica SL is milled from aluminum and the Leica SL lenses have the water repellent Aqua Dura coating. In addition to the SL lenses, the Leica SL can be used with other Leica lenses (S, R, M, T & Cine PL mount) and 3rd party lenses via adapters even for video applications, making it ideal for any photographic situation.
