Related Questions and Answers

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. 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: 3. How will this camera perform for startscape / Milky Way photography? I have an SL2 for landscape work but am considering adding either this or the Sony A7III for astrophotography.

A: This camera would be excellent for shooting a star scape or the Milky Way due to its high sensitivity.

Q: 4. Is there a headphone outlet to monitor audio as recorded?

A: Yes, this does have a headphone jack.

Q: 5. Does the RRS L-Plate have a QD socket on the vertical as well as the horizontal arms?

A: Yes. Both the base and the L-component of this RRS L-plate for the Leica SL2/SL2-S have QD sockets. Please see the third picture in our photo set.

Q: 6. Does this cage have an arra type base as does the Smallrig for the Z8?

A: No, the 8Sinn Full Camera Cage for Leica SL2 and SL2-S does not come with an Arca-type release plate on the bottom of the cage like the SmallRig Camera Cage for Nikon Z8.

Q: 7. 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: 8. I want to buy this camera but I have reservations that it is not up to spec. as compared to other cameras. Leica makes the best still cameras but not quite sure for motion pictures. The SL2 for example had moire problems..?

A: Being that the SL2-S is a new model, there have been no reports of moire with it. It is perfectly capable for video applications.

Q: 9. When using the M-Adapter L from Leica on the SL2-s with M style lenses, does the adapter provide automatic stop down, or are you viewing through the closed down aperture? For example, if it is an F2 lens, and you have the aperture set at F11, will you be viewing through the viewfinder of the SL2-s at F2 or F11? Also, I understand when using the adapter that infinite focus will be less then infinite on the lens. How does focusing of M lenses work out in real life?

A: According to Leica, the camera automatically switches to aperture priority when the adapter is attached. As for the focusing, a sharp image is achieved before the mechanical infinity stop on the lens is reached.

Q: 10. 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.
