Fast ultra-wide-angle lens

The Super-APO-Summicron-SL 1:2/21mm combines the worlds first APO lens with 21mm with latest technology made by Leica.

The 21mm focal length can be used flexible for several use cases -especially for landscape, interior, street and architectural photography.

Natural skin tones, smooth transitions into bokeh, exceptional contrast in details, and edge-to-edge sharpness are a matter of course for Leica APO-Lenses.

The universal wide-angle zoom
Interiors, group portraits, landscapes, and more: This Vario lens expands the options offered by the SL-System into the realm of wide-angle photography and ideally complements the existing portfolio of Vario lenses for the Leica SL.

In addition to excellent imaging quality throughout the entire range of focal lengths and at all apertures, the high-performance lens also offers simultaneously fast and quiet autofocus. This is driven by a specially developed focusing drive comprising a stepping motor and linear positioning and moves a single, very light focusing element that, due to its low mass, contributes to the high focusing speed.

The newly designed optical system contains a total of 18 elements in 12 groups. These include two asphericals for the correction of monochromatic aberrations. Three elements made from glass with anomalous partial dispersion correct chromatic aberration, while an improved mount geometry and high-quality coating ensure optimum suppression.

The Leica Summilux-SL 50 mm f/1.4 ASPH. is the first prime lens in the SL-System portfolio and the new reference lens in its class. This extremely fast, high-performance standard lens is ideal for capturing subjects in natural lighting and offers the advantages of depth of field as a creative tool. Thanks to the outstanding precision of its autofocus, it allows you to concentrate fully on your subject and the composition of a perfect picture. The imaging performance of the lens fulfills even the most stringent standards. Particularly at maximum aperture, its high resolving power and the pleasingly soft bokeh in out of focus areas isolate the subject clearly from its surroundings. Thanks to the consistent contrast rendition throughout the focusing range, this applies equally for all distance settings.

Fast and compact on every travel - Expected Late 2026

With a focal length of 50 mm, the world is captured just as the eye sees it. The f/1.4 lens speed brings out the distinctive Leica image character, providing exceptional subject isolation and bokeh, imbuing images with unmistakable depth. What sets the Summilux-SL 50 f/1.4 ASPH. apart? It combines this performance with a design that creates a masterful unit when used with Leica SL3 cameras. Focused, precise, confident. Manufactured in Germany, the Summilux-SL combines the finest craftsmanship with optical engineering. The result is an exceptionally compact full-frame lens that can focus from as close as 50 cm, demonstrating its strengths in everything from spontaneous travel moments to carefully staged portraits.

Picture quality, speed, and particularly important for professional use a robust construction are the main advantages of all APO-Summicron-SL-Lenses. The APO-Summicron-SL-Lenses were designed from scratch for the mirrorless SL-System. That means that the optical and sensor design, as well as the imaging process match perfectly to achieve the highest quality. They offer maximum detail transfer and pure colour reproduction from the center to the edges, over all distances and all F-stop settings. Leica APO-Summicron-SL-Lenses already achieve extremely high detail contrast close to diffraction limit, which makes them particularly suitable for the creative use of planes of sharpness and unsharpness and the distinct isolation of subject details. Thanks to their shallow depth of field and exceptional imaging performance, every single lens guarantees the special look for which Leica photography is renowned.

Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 70-200 f/2.8 ASPH. Fast tele zoom lens Ideal for Portrait, Sports, Nature and Events

Constant aperture of f/2.8 over the entire zoom range and uses O.I.S. in both Photo and Video modes

Expandable with Extender L 1.4x and new Extender L 2.0x (Both SOLD SEPERATELY)

For Those Who Look Closer - Expected September 2026

Although macro and portrait photography are two different worlds, they have one thing in common: the familiar suddenly appears in a new light. A deeper structure that you had never noticed before. A characteristic that only becomes visible in the image. The APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL 100 f/2.8 lens bridges these two worlds, allowing each to unfold to its full potential. With a close focus distance of 30 cm, it opens up a new sense of intimacy, revealing details in the image that remain hidden to the naked eye.
