Now available for sale: Light Lens Lab 2/35mm 8 Element V2LC lens for Leica M-mount





One of the site sponsors Jo Geier is selling this new Light Lens Lab 2/35mm V2LC lens that is based on the original 8-element Leica 35 f/2 Summicron classic from 1958. Two different colors are currently available – black and silver and the price is €1,500 incl. 20% VAT. The lens is produced in small batches and is available in very limited quantities – I am sure it will sell out by the end of this weekend, so act fast if you are interested.

Tonight: Leica SL2-S live discussion

Red Dot Forum Camera Talk Live
with Josh Lehrer & David Farkas

Leica SL2-S Live Discussion

Tonight! Saturday, December 19, 2020   |   8:00 PM Eastern

In this special installment of Red Dot Forum Camera Talk, David Farkas and Josh Lehrer will discuss the brand new Leica SL2-S, just introduced last week. Built on the same platform as the top of the line SL2, the SL2-S features a newly designed 24 megapixel full frame BSI-CMOS sensor offering speed and low light capability geared towards both photography and video applications. They’ll explain where the camera fits into the lineup, see how it compares against the SL2, and discuss whether it’s a worthy upgrade from the SL (Typ 601). Feel free to send questions beforehand, or ask us live.
