Today, in a surprising but
welcome move, Leica Camera has reduced the price of the the SL (Typ 601). The
popular full-frame mirrorless camera is now $5,995, a $1,455 savings from its
original price of $7,450. This eases the entry point into the Leica SL-System,
making it more accessible for ambitious amateur photographers as well as
professionals interested in switching systems. At just under $6,000, the Leica
SL is now in line price-wise with other top-of-the-line professional camera
models and opens up the system to more photographers than ever before.
If you’re not already
familiar with the system, the current SL lens lineup offers truly outstanding
performance. The Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm f/2.8-4.0 ASPH and
APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90-280mm f/2.8-4 zooms deliver prime lens quality with
great flexibility. The reference-class Summilux-SL 50mm f/1.4 ASPH sets a new
bar for a 50mm lens. And with a host of new lenses on the way over the next two
years, including a range of f/2 Summicron-SL fixed lenses, this is certainly an
exciting time to be getting started with the SL-system.
If the current and future
lineup of SL lenses doesn’t meet your specific needs, the camera can be used
with a wide variety of other Leica lenses with adapters, such as M lenses, R lenses and even S lenses. Plus, TL lenses can be mounted with no adapter
needed. A TL lens setup is perfect when shooting 4K video on the SL, as the 4K
Super35 video capture area matches perfectly with the TL lens crop factor on
the SL.
