Leica has just announced two new prime lenses available for the SL-System, which comprises the SL2 and the SL2-S. The standard focal length lenses, the Summicron-SL 35 f/2 ASPH. and the Summicron-SL 50 f/2 ASPH, are characterised by particularly compact dimensions and low weight (only 370 grams), and boast Leica’s famous Summicron aesthetic, with a very shallow depth of field
A linear direct drive promises extremely fast, accurate, and smooth focus, making them for both photographic and videography applications, where quiet focusing is imperative.
The Summicron-SL 35 f/2 ASPH. covers a wide range of applications in landscape, street and reportage photography, and offers new perspectives due to a closest focusing distance of only 0.25 m. The Summicron-SL 50 f/2 ASPH. shows its strength in almost all photographic situations, but especially in travel, event, and portrait photography.
The recommended retail price (RRP) of the Summicron-SL 35 f/2 ASPH. is $3,690 including GST and the recommended retail price (RRP) of the Summicron-SL 50 f/2 ASPH. is $3,190 including GST. Leica is making it easier for new and existing customers to get started with the SL-System, offering a voucher which saves $1,500 off eligible SL-Kits. Vouchers can be redeemed until 30April 2023 at Leica Stores, the Leica Online Store, and participating Leica dealers.
