Brand Leica System Leica SL

The Leica Extender L 1.4x sits between an L-Mount camera and a compatible SL telephoto and multiplies the focal length by 1.4x, at a cost of about one stop of light. On the Vario-Elmar-SL 100-400mm f/5-6.3 that gives you a 140-560mm reach, and the camera writes the extended focal length and working aperture into the image data, so your files show the settings you actually used.

Seven elements in four groups keep the correction matched to the lenses Leica built it for, and at 33.1mm long and 182g it takes up almost no room in a bag. The barrel is sealed against spray water and dust and the outer glass carries an AquaDura coating. Compatibility is narrow, so check your lens first; our team can confirm the fit and talk through whether the extra reach is worth the stop of light on your setup.

Buy from an authorized Leica dealer like Camera West to ensure a genuine product with full manufacturer warranty and expert support.

Reach Without Bulk

At 33.1mm long and 182g, the Extender L 1.4x adds almost nothing to a bag but turns the Vario-Elmar-SL 100-400mm f/5-6.3 into a 140-560mm lens. It mounts between camera and lens in a few seconds, so you can add or drop the reach as the situation changes.

Correction Built to Match

Seven elements in four groups are corrected specifically for the lenses Leica designed this extender around, and the camera applies the matching lens profile. A third-party converter may physically fit, but it will not carry the color, contrast, and vignetting corrections Leica programmed for these combinations.

Read the Compatibility List

This extender works with the Vario-Elmar-SL 100-400mm f/5-6.3, the Vario-Elmarit-SL 70-200mm f/2.8 ASPH., and the APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL 100mm f/2.8. It is not made for other L-Mount lenses. Expect to lose about one stop of light, which matters most in low light or when you are relying on fast shutter speeds.
