LENS

COMPATIBLE LENSES

Sophisticated optical systems guarantee the excellent imaging
performance of the SL lenses. In the design phase for the optics, a
homogeneous performance across all focal lengths, aperture and
focus settings is a high priority. That is how SL lenses can be used
for optimally creative results in any situation.
Leica M and R lenses can also be used in conjunction with Leica
M/R L adapters.
L-MOUNT LENSES
In addition to Leica SL lenses, the Leica SL2-S can also accommo-
date Leica TL lenses with full functionality via the L bayonet. The
camera will automatically switch to the APS-C format when a TL lens
is attached. A variety of compatible lenses from manufacturers of
the L-Mount Alliance are also available.
EXPOSURE METERING AND EXPOSURE CONTROL USING VARIO LENSES
Some Leica TL and SL Vario lenses have a variable speed, which
means that the effective aperture opening depends on the config-
ured focal length. Make sure to set the desired focal length before
storing the meter value or changing the shutter speed/aperture
combination to prevent incorrect exposure. Please read the sections
on "Exposure" starting on page 129 for more information. Make
sure that the aperture setting on the flash unit matches the camera
aperture if you are using a non-system compatible flash unit.
