My new Leica camera and charger.
By SE S.
I appreciate your excellent services. Thank you
Discover the distinctive aesthetics and robustness of the Leica full-frame camera. This particularly robust version of the Leica SL3 represents the latest in a long line of specially developed Leica cameras.

The Leica SL3 Reporter is equipped with features that have been specifically designed for the harsh conditions of reportage and press photography. This enables maximum precision even under the most adverse shooting conditions. The product combines maximum functionality and reliability with a unique camera design that is both understated and striking.
See how far you can go and rely on the SL3 Reporter to take you there – a camera built to withstand even the harshest conditions, thanks to its scratch-resistant olive-green finish, aramid fibre trim and the most exacting manufacturing standards.This is a camera that faithfully follows wherever your vision leads. The bold yet understated design, purposefully omitting the red Leica logo, enables close engagement with the action while demonstrating a distinctive character.

Aramid fibres are woven with such density that they are nearly impossible to separate. They create a striking fabric with a unique aesthetic that consistently shields the SL3 Reporter, even in challenging environments. At the same time, the unique structure enhances grip, offering markedly greater stability and hold when photographing and filming. Over time, the trim acquires a unique patina, bearing the marks of its photographic journey and embodying the character of a true reportage camera.

This model combines state-of-the-art technology with outstanding image quality of up to 60 megapixels, precise autofocus, premium materials, and "Made in Germany" manufacturing quality. A fast connection to the Leica FOTOS App facilitates a seamless professional workflow.

Within the heart of the Leica SL3 is the BSI CMOS full-frame sensor, topped off with Triple Resolution Technology. The sensor is wrapped in an all-metal frame and high-quality leather. This sensor offers versatility like no other, delivering files in either DNG or JPEG format, with resolutions selectable at 60, 36, or 18 megapixels — you choose!

The SL3 is made to excel in every lighting scenario you use it in, with a high dynamic range extending to an impressive 15 f-stops, ensuring a beautiful rendition of details anytime, anywhere. It has a remarkable ISO range, spanning from 50 to 100,000. Such a big range to work with empowers photographers to capture stunningly detailed images in the soft glow of dusk or the glare of the midday sun.

An advanced autofocus system is another distinguishing factor of the Leica SL3. The hybrid AF system has three technologies to ensure sharp photos, even in low light: phase detection (PDAF), depth mapping (Object Detection AF), and contrast recognition (Contrast Detection AF).

The EyeRes® viewfinder of the Leica SL3 is equipped with an elaborately manufactured optical system made of glass lenses. It always shows the subject crystal clear with up to 120 frames per second and a resolution of 5.76 million pixels.
Another feature is the tiltable 3-inch high-res with a high-quality tilting mechanism. Even more creative possibilities can be achieved thanks to its additional viewing angles.

To provide a better experience for photographers, the Leica SL3 introduces a fresh user interface. With its organized structure, the new icons and menus are easy to find and understand.
