Q: 1. Does this have a magnet built in to hold the hex wrench? I have read that magnetic fields can play havoc with a camera's electronics

A: Yes, this has a magnet. As far as we are aware, modern cameras/electronics are typically not influenced/affected by magnets such as these.

Q: 2. Do super-wide M lenses still color shift in the corners on this new sensor? I keep reading this quote about the SL2-S: "sensor stack fully compatible with Leica M-Lenses". I wonder what they're trying to say.

A: From testing and observation, there does not appear to be any color shifting in the corners of their new sensor designed for the camera. And as for the "sensor stack fully compatible with Leica M-Lenses" quote, they are referring to the fact that their M-Lenses are some of the best optical glass that they manufacturer, so the new sensor takes full advantage of that sharpness and color rendering to produce images that hold up to the Leica standard.

Q: 3. will this plate fit the new SL3 camera?

A: The Really Right Stuff Base Plate for Leica SL2 and SL2-S does not fit the Leica SL3 Mirrorless Camera.

Q: 4. Is this compatible with a Leica S typ 007?

A: No, Really Right Stuff L-Plate for Leica SL2 and SL2-S is not the correct L bracket for Leica Medium format S TYP 007 camera. Unfortunately Really Right Stuff does not make a dedicated L bracket for your camera. You will need a universal Large L bracket but it will interfere with your battery chamber and cable ports.

Q: 5. I've never used a base plate. What is the main reason to use one? Are they intended to stay on the camera permanently or only when using a tripod? Thanks!

A: Base plates provide a moderate level of scuff/ding protection on the bottom of the camera are intended to stay on for as long as you need. They also provide a more robust built-in quick release system for arca-swiss type tripods, as opposed to smaller quick-release plates you'd install that might not hold tight and/or loosen over time.

Q: 6. Hi, what's the difference between the Bracket Set and Component ? Thanks

A: The Really Right Stuff L-Bracket Set for Leica SL2 and SL2-S is made up of 2 components. The Base Plate which goes on bottom of the camera. And the L-Component which is the vertical plate on the side of the camera. One has the option to purchase each individually, or get them together as a set. The L-Component is just the vertical side plate without the base plate. The L-Bracket Set has both the Base Plate and the L-Component.

Q: 7. Is this a 4/3 sensor?

A: No, the Leica SL2-S Mirrorless Camera uses a full frame sensor.

Q: 8. Will this also fit the SL (601)?

A: Because the dimensions of the Leica SL (Typ 106) are not the same as the dimensions of the Leica SL2 and the Leica SL2-S, so the 8Sinn Full Camera Cage for Leica SL2 and SL2-S is not compatible with the Leica SL (Typ 601).

Q: 9. Is it compatible with Peak Designs Travel Tripod?

A: Yes. You will need to remove the safety stop screws from the PD travel tripod's clamp in order for this RRS L-Plate for Leica SL2/SL2-S to sit correctly.

Q: 10. Would this be considered a semi-pro or pro level camera? Is it a direct competition for the Nikon Z9? Is this a camera I can use for 10 years or is this a 4-5 year camera?

A: The following unit is a pro-level that can meet high expectations. Most cameras now have a life of 5yrs as technology advances every 12 to 18 months.
