The Leica Extender L 2.0x doubles the focal length of compatible Leica SL telephoto lenses, giving you dramatically more reach without swapping to a longer lens. It mounts quickly and securely between camera and lens via the Leica L bayonet, with a contact strip that preserves full electronic communication between body and lens.

Compact and light at roughly 220 g, it slips easily into any bag and turns the Vario-Elmarit-SL 70-200mm f/2.8 into a 400mm reach, making it a natural fit for sports, wildlife, and events. Our team can help you confirm compatibility and pair it with the right SL glass.

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

Double Your Reach

The Extender L 2.0x multiplies the focal length of compatible Leica SL lenses by a factor of 2.0x, instantly extending your telephoto range for sports, wildlife, and events — no need to carry or switch to a separate long lens.

Seamless Integration

Mounting between the camera and lens via the Leica L bayonet catch, the extender includes a contact strip that preserves full electronic communication, so autofocus, aperture control, and EXIF data continue to work through the combination.

Compact and Always Ready

At roughly 220 g and just under 47 mm long, the extender is light enough to keep in any bag as an always-available second focal range. Its 8-element, 4-group optical design is finished in black anodized to match Leica's SL lenses.

Confirmed Compatibility

Officially compatible with the Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 70-200mm f/2.8 (extending it to 400mm) and the Vario-Elmar-SL 100-400mm f/5-6.3. Per Leica, many other L-Mount lenses can also be used — our team can help you confirm the right pairing.
