Leica SL3-P
The SL System, distilled. Professional.
The Leica SL3-P ushers in a new era for the SL System, a camera body that, to our eyes, asks for almost no compromises. It's a tool that simply works, no matter what you throw at it.
Whether you're upgrading, exploring the SL System for the first time, or trading in your current kit toward an SL3-P, another SL body, or SL optics, we're here as your source. We've been users, believers, and advocates of the SL System from the very beginning, and this is a new chapter we can't wait to share with you.
Built for clear, confident image-making.
The Leica SL3-P, from Wetzlar to New York City
Our first look at the SL3-P, filmed on location at the launch in Wetzlar and out on the streets of New York.
Our Thoughts on the Leica SL3-P
Looking at the new Leica SL3-P on paper is one thing. What do we actually think after spending real time with it?
Hands-on from Wetzlar.
Our first looks at the new SL3-P and the two new Leica SL primes, fresh from the launch and the streets of New York.
Leica SL3-P First Look: Hands On from Wetzlar
From the launch in Wetzlar to the streets of New York, our first look at the SL3-P.
First Look: 100mm f/2.8 APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL
Hands-on with the new APO macro for the SL System. A “homage” to one of our favorite macro lenses of all time.
First Look: 50mm f/1.4 Summilux-SL ASPH II
A closer look at the new fast fifty, the smallest 50mm f/1.4 of any full-frame system, complete with PGM optics.
One Body. Three Kits.
Pick up the SL3-P body alone, or pair it with one of three kits to start. Go compact with the Leica 28-70mm f/2.8, step up to the professional 24-70mm f/2.8, or get the two-lens Pro kit with the 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8 for ultimate versatility. Either way, you're set up to grow your L-Mount collection from here.
Leica SL3-P Body
The 44 MP SL3-P body on its own, ready to slot into your current system or design your own à la carte with your choice of L-Mount lenses.
SL3-P with 28-70mm f/2.8
Paired with the compact Vario-Elmarit-SL 28-70mm f/2.8. The do-everything kit for travel and reportage.
SL3-P with 24-70mm f/2.8
Paired with the pro-grade Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70mm f/2.8 for a constant-aperture standard zoom lens, perfect for a broad range of situations.
SL3-P with 24-70mm + 70-200mm
Paired with the same Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70mm f/2.8 as the Pro Zoom kit, combined with the complementing Vario-Elmarit-SL 70-200mm f/2.8 for extended coverage, making this the most well-rounded kit for those getting into the SL3-P.
