In this week's Red Dot Forum Camera Talk, Leica experts Josh Lehrer and David Farkas are taking another deep dive on the Leica SL System. With so many major developments, new product introductions and updated firmware features over the last year, the SL System is definitely worth revisiting. They'll cover the outstanding SL2 and SL2-S professional mirrorless cameras, the reference-class APO-Summicron-SL lens range, and exceptional zoom optics, as well discussing adapters, macro solutions and their top tips to get the most out of the SL System.
Feel free to hit us up with questions beforehand by emailing questions@reddotforum.com, or ask us live in the chat.
