Presenting a favored focal length for portraiture, the Leica SL2 Mirrorless Camera with 90mm f/2 Lens Kitfrom Leica SL2 Mirrorless Camera with 90mm f/2 Lens Kitis an optically refined short telephoto prime designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras. Complementing the comfortable focal length is a bright f/2 maximum aperture that suits working in low-light conditions and also affords great control over depth of field for isolating subject matter. The lens' apochromatic optical design uses anomalous partial dispersion glass to suppress color fringing and chromatic aberrations for high clarity and color accuracy, and one aspherical element is 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 optical assets is a Dual Syncro Drive stepping motor, which delivers fast and quiet autofocus performance, and a floating elements system maintains consistent imaging quality throughout the focusing range. 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.

Portrait-length 90mm 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 135mm 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.

One aspherical element is 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.

Floating elements system and an internal focusing design maintain consistent image quality throughout the focusing range, from 2' to infinity.

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: 1. Hi....will Manfrotto PL200 quick plate fit well on SL2 body?

A: Yes, the Manfrotto 200PL quick release plate can fit well on the Leica SL2 body.

Q: 2. 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.

Q: 3. Can you use the Canon EF series L lenses with the Leica SL2?

A: The Novoflex Canon EF Lens to Leica L-Mount Camera Electronic Adapter would be helpful to use Canon L series lenses on the Leica SL2. https://bhpho.to/2UURELk

Q: 4. Do I have to turn off the IBIS when using it on a tripod?

A: While the instruction manual does not have a specific recommendation concerning the above, I personally recommend if you will be using a tripod, disable the in-camera image stabilization inside the Leica SL2 Mirrorless Digital Camera's menu to prevent issues with the stabilization system looking for non-existent camera movement and introducing movement/artifacts in the image.

Q: 5. I have a Leica CL. I know I can use these lenses on the SL2 and I know that I will have about a 20 MP image, but what will be the effective focal lengths, for example, what would be the focal length equivalents of my 11-23mm TL lens on the SL2? 11-23 or 18-35?

A: Because the SL2 is cropping the image down to about 20mp, it is the same as using a crop frame sensor camera like the CL. Therefore the 11-23mm would look like a 17-35mm if you were comparing it to a full frame camera.

Q: 6. Does anyone know if the multishot mode works when tethered with CaptureOne? And can you use studio strobes with the multishot mode?

A: Yes, Multishot mode is available on Leica SL2 Mirrorless Camera when tether to Capture One. Unfortunately the strobes won't get trigger.

Q: 7. Is camera generated timecode carried on the hdmi output?

A: The SL2 generates a Free Run or Rec Run Time Code and is written to the recorded file. It goes through HDMI. You can set a time or use the camera time. Free run means the timer continues whether the camera is recording or not. Rec run means the timer only runs while the camera is recording.

Q: 8. Does this camera offer "focus peaking" or other focus assists for manual focus lenses?

A: Yes. The Leica SL2 has focus peaking. :)

Q: 9. 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: 10. 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.
