LENS
COMPATIBLE LENSES
In addition to Leica SL lenses, the Leica SL2 can also accommo-
date Leica TL lenses with full functionality via the L bayonet. Leica
M and R lenses can also be used in conjunction with Leica M/R L
adapters.
L-MOUNT 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.
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
configured 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 121 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.
