Leica's original SL mirrorless — 24MP full-frame with outstanding EVF and Maestro II processor.
The Leica SL (Typ 601) launched in 2015 as Leica's first professional full-frame mirrorless camera, establishing the SL system and the L-Mount that would later form the L-Mount Alliance with Panasonic and Sigma.
The 24MP full-frame CMOS sensor delivers excellent image quality with Leica's signature colour rendering. 49-point contrast-detect AF — functional but trails phase-detect systems. 11fps burst. The 4.4M-dot EVF was the highest resolution viewfinder in any camera at launch — stunning to look through.
Aluminium unibody construction with IP52 weather protection. 2.95-inch touchscreen. Dual SD card slots. 4K video recording. USB-C charging. WiFi. L-Mount lens compatibility. 847g body only. Leica Maestro II processor.
Available used at mid-range to professional prices — significantly discounted from original retail. The SL2 improved to 47MP with IBIS. The EVF remains impressive even years later. L-Mount Alliance lenses from Panasonic and Sigma offer affordable options. A capable camera with Leica's build quality.
