Leica SL (Typ 601) Full-Frame Mirrorless Digital Camera Body – 24MP – 4K Video – Made in Germany

Up for sale is a Leica SL (Typ 601), a premium full-frame mirrorless digital camera that combines legendary Leica craftsmanship with serious professional performance. Designed for photographers and hybrid shooters who demand exceptional image quality, rugged construction, intuitive handling, and advanced video capability, the SL (Typ 601) remains one of Leica’s most impressive digital camera bodies.

At the heart of the camera is a 24MP full-frame CMOS sensor paired with the Leica Maestro II processor, delivering rich color, excellent tonal range, and beautifully detailed files. Because the sensor does not use a low-pass filter, it is able to extract maximum sharpness and fine detail, especially when paired with Leica’s renowned lens lineup. The wide ISO range of 50-50000 gives the camera excellent flexibility in both bright daylight and low-light shooting situations.

The Leica SL was built not only for image quality, but also for speed and responsiveness. It offers continuous shooting up to 11 frames per second, along with a large 2GB internal buffer that allows for bursts of up to 33 DNG files or effectively unlimited JPEG shooting in many situations. The 49-point contrast autofocus system is fast, accurate, and well suited for a wide variety of photography including portraits, events, travel, street, nature, sports, and press work.

For video shooters, the SL (Typ 601) is also a highly capable tool. It supports DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) recording at 24 fps in Super35 mode, as well as UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) at 30 and 25 fps. It also records Full HD and HD at up to 120 fps, making it a strong option for smooth slow-motion footage. Advanced video features include L-Log gamma for maximizing dynamic range and giving editors greater flexibility in post production, along with useful tools such as focus peaking, exposure simulation, clipping/zebras, grid overlays, aspect ratio guides, and safe area display. Internal recording is supported through the dual SD card slots, and higher-quality output is available over HDMI.

One of the standout features of the Leica SL is its outstanding build quality. The body is milled from two solid blocks of aluminum and hand-finished in Germany, giving it the solid, dense, confidence-inspiring feel Leica is known for. The design is weather-resistant and built for real-world professional use. Every part of the camera feels purposeful, from the substantial grip to the simplified control layout.

The viewing experience is equally impressive. The SL features a remarkable 4.4MP EyeRes electronic viewfinder with 0.8x magnification and a fast 60 fps refresh rate, giving users a large, immersive, and natural-looking view when composing images. On the back, the 2.95-inch 1.04M-dot touchscreen provides crisp playback and intuitive operation as part of Leica’s professional user interface. A top monochrome LCD lets you quickly check exposure and camera settings without needing to raise the camera or look at the rear display.

The camera uses the Leica L mount, opening the door to Leica’s SL lenses as well as other compatible L-mount options. It can also work with additional Leica lens systems through adapters, giving photographers even more flexibility. Dual SD card slots provide convenient backup or additional storage capacity during long shoots, with support for UHS-II and UHS-I cards.

Additional features include built-in Wi-Fi for remote control and image transfer through the Leica SL App, built-in GPS for geotagging images, 14-bit DNG recording, multiple color space options, exposure bracketing, interval shooting for time-lapse work, long exposures up to 30 minutes, and a range of white balance and drive mode settings to suit different workflows.
