Leica SL3-P Mirrorless Camera was officially announced with two new lenses, the APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL 100mm f/2.8 and the Summilux-SL 50mm f/1.4 ASPH..
The Leica SL3-P is the most refined and powerful SL-System camera to date, uniting a newly developed 44MP backside-illuminated (BSI) full-frame sensor with Leica’s fastest-ever hybrid autofocus and the most advanced video performance ever seen in an SL body. As the first P-Series model built on the SL3 platform, it strikes a meticulous balance between outstanding image quality, blazing speed, and seamless professional workflow integration—all within a precision-engineered body, designed and handcrafted in Germany.
