The Professional's Kit — 24 to 200 mm at f/2.8

The Leica SL3-P 24–70 & 70–200 Vario Kit is the most comprehensive SL kit available — pairing Leica's most advanced full-frame camera with two of its finest professional zoom lenses. Together, the Vario-Elmarit-SL 24–70 f/2.8 ASPH. and Vario-Elmarit-SL 70–200 f/2.8 ASPH. provide seamless, uninterrupted f/2.8 coverage from wide-angle to telephoto. Whether you are shooting reportage, portraits, events, sports, or video productions, this kit is built to handle anything — with no compromise in image quality.
 

The Leica SL3-P

The SL3-P is built around a new 44 MP BSI full-frame sensor with up to 14 stops of dynamic range, ISO 50–200,000, and a Multishot mode that delivers images up to 176 MP. The entirely new hybrid autofocus system combines phase detection (PDAF), object detection AF, and contrast detection AF — with 819 AF points, intelligent subject recognition, and continuous shooting at up to 40 frames per second.
For video, the SL3-P supports up to 8.1K Open Gate (3:2) at 30p, HDMI RAW 8K output, Apple ProRes up to 5.8K, 5.9K at 60p, and 4K slow motion at 120p. Leica Pure and Leica Cine LUTs for the L-Log colour space provide maximum flexibility in professional post-production.
Manufactured in Germany, the SL3-P features a fully metal, IP54-certified body with a minimalist design — black controls, no red Leica dot — and clearly separated photo and video modes distinguished by red and yellow accents. Regular firmware updates via the Leica FOTOS App ensure the camera continues to develop long after purchase.
 

Vario-Elmarit-SL 24–70 f/2.8 ASPH. — The Essential Standard Zoom

The Vario-Elmarit-SL 24–70 f/2.8 ASPH. covers the most-used focal range in photography and video — from wide-angle architecture and landscapes at 24 mm through to flattering portrait lengths at 70 mm — all at a constant f/2.8 aperture. Its sophisticated optical construction of 19 elements in 15 groups, with three aspherical elements featuring ASPH surfaces on both sides, delivers outstanding sharpness, colour rendition, and chromatic correction across the full zoom range.
Internal focusing via a single lightweight element and a stepping motor ensures fast, silent, and precise autofocus — equally suited to continuous stills shooting and pull-focus in video. With a minimum focusing distance of just 18 cm at 24 mm (maximum magnification 1:2.9), the lens also excels at close-up work. The 11-blade aperture produces smooth, circular bokeh. The all-metal weather-sealed body with 82 mm filter thread makes it a durable companion in all conditions.
 

Vario-Elmarit-SL 70–200 f/2.8 ASPH. — The Versatile Telephoto Zoom

The Vario-Elmarit-SL 70–200 f/2.8 ASPH. picks up exactly where the 24–70 leaves off, extending your reach to 200 mm at a constant f/2.8. This makes the two lenses a perfectly matched pair — together forming part of the Leica SL f/2.8 Trinity Series, covering the full range from 14 to 200 mm at a constant aperture.
The optical construction of 20 elements in 15 groups — including three aspherical surfaces and seven elements with low-dispersion glass — ensures razor-sharp, high-contrast images with excellent tonal fidelity across all focal lengths. Built-in optical image stabilisation of up to 3.5 stops provides reliable handheld results in the telephoto range. Internal focusing and a silent motor make it equally well-suited for video work. At 70 mm it is a superb portrait lens; at 200 mm it separates subjects dramatically from the background. The all-metal body is dust and splash resistant with AquaDura coating, and an ARCA-Swiss compatible detachable tripod base is included for stable tripod use. The lens is also compatible with the Leica Extender L 1.4x and 2.0x, extending reach to 280 or 400 mm.
 

Professional Connectivity

The Leica FOTOS App connects to the SL3-P via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB-C for quick transfer of DNG, JPEG, and video files and full remote control. Leica Looks can be applied at capture and refined later. Workflow integrations with Lightroom Classic, Capture One, and Camera-to-Cloud via Adobe Frame.io ensure the SL3-P fits seamlessly into any professional pipeline. Content Credentials technology, based on the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI), embeds secure and verifiable metadata into every image.
