A favored and versatile focal length coupled with an optically refined design, the Leica SL2 Mirrorless Camera with 35mm f/2 Lens Kitis a general wide-angle prime designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras. The bright f/2 maximum aperture strikes a balance between speed and overall weight and size, offering a portable form factor along with the ability to excel in available light conditions. The apochromatic optical design uses anomalous partial dispersion glass to suppress color fringing and chromatic aberrations for high clarity and color accuracy, and five aspherical elements are also featured to reduce spherical aberrations for improved sharpness. Multi-layer coatings have also been applied to limit flare and ghosting for increased contrast when working in strong lighting conditions. Complementing the optics is a Dual Syncro Drive stepping motor, which delivers fast and quiet autofocus performance to suit both stills and video applications. Additionally, an AquaDura coating has been applied to the exposed elements and seals have been incorporated in the lens design to benefit working in harsh environmental conditions.

Wide-angle 35mm f/2 lens is designed for full-frame Leica L-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 52.5mm equivalent focal length.

Bright f/2 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also affords greater control over depth of field for working with selective focusing techniques.

Five aspherical elements are used to reduce distortion and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.

Apochromatic design employs anomalous partial dispersion glass to suppress chromatic aberrations throughout the aperture range for increased color accuracy and clarity.

Multi-layer coatings have been applied to individual elements to suppress surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for increased contrast and color fidelity.

Dual Syncro Drive stepping motor delivers quick, precise, and near-silent autofocus performance to suit both photo and video applications. This system also avails full-time manual focus override.

Water-repellent AquaDura coating has been applied to the front and rear optical surfaces to protect against moisture and other elements.

Weather-sealed design protects against dust and moisture to benefit working in inclement shooting conditions.

Q: 2. problems with moire?

A: Leica SL2 Mirrorless Camera with 24-70mm f/2.8 Lens will show some moiré for example a shirt checkered pattern may show some moiré in the photo.

Q: 3. Can you make in-camera double exposures?

A: I'm sorry, no, the SL2 does not do in camera multiple exposures.

Q: 4. Can this camera be powered through the USB port while shooting stills or video?

A: The Leica SL2 Mirrorless Camera (Silver) can be powered through the USB port while shooting stills or video.

Q: 5. Does this camera made crop when shoot 4k dci at 60 fps?

A: Yes, there is a small crop when shooting 4K DCI at 60fps on the Leica SL2 Mirrorless Camera (BH #LESL2SL).

Q: 6. Can I use current Zeiss lenses (Canon mount) on this camera?

A: You'll need an EF-to-L-mount adapter in order to use Canon EF-mount lenses on the SL2. Please be aware that certain adapters do not work with the original Leica SL Type-601, and this information is only currently relevant to the SL2.

Q: 7. Is there a way to add GPS functionality to the SL2?

A: You can use the Leica Fotos app on a smartphone and using the location data of the smartphone it can update the photo in the camera with the GPS info. This has been working with previous Leica cameras like the Q2. This should also work with the Leica SL2 as it is also compatible with the Leica Fotos app, even though that specific functionality I do not see listed in the app yet for the SL2. That might just be because the SL2 is new and not released yet, so the app should be updated soon. I also see that a new Leica Fotos 2.0 app is being released on November 21st, so it should have more functionality for the SL2.

Q: 8. Does moire goes away completely with a fixed lens? I understand theres no low pass filter and that may make it impossible to avoid it completely. Thank you very much

A: A prime lens does not really effect the moire that can can happen by cameras with out a low pass filter.

Q: 9. Does the SL2 have in-body stabilization?

A: Hi--the Leica SL2 does have in-body image stabilization.

Q: 10. Are V60 speed rated cards sufficient for SL2...or V90 has to be used?

A: For photography related things V60 is totally fine. V90 would be best for sustained video recording in 4K.
