Description
Leica 10648 SL3-S Black + Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 28-70mm F/2.8 ASPH
The Leica SL3-S is a 24-megapixel full-frame mirrorless camera with ultra-fast, innovative features and advanced video functions. Thanks to its optimal operating speed and reliability, the camera meets the high demands of professional photographers and videographers.
The 24-megapixel BSI full-frame sensor delivers exceptional low-light performance, so you can also capture sharp photos in poor lighting conditions. The ISO range from 50 to 200,000 offers optimal noise reduction when you need to work at higher values. With handheld multishot mode, you combine photos for extra detail at a resolution of 48 or 96 megapixels. The Maestro IV processor, internationally acclaimed for its outstanding quality, ensures reliable, fast data processing.
Advanced Autofocus and Speed
The hybrid, fast autofocus system ensures razor-sharp focus. The autofocus uses three technologies: the latest generation of phase detection, object detection and contrast detection. Thanks to 779 focus points and precise tracking, your subject is always sharply in focus. The Leica SL3-S is the fastest Leica camera ever built; you can shoot up to 30 frames per second with full autofocus support.
Perfect for Videographers
The Leica SL3-S is also perfectly suited to videographers. Professionals can capture 3:2 open-gate recordings for ultimate creative flexibility. With open-gate recording, the entire sensor is used, allowing you to work with optimal resolution and freedom for re-framing. Record in HDMI-RAW at 5.9K resolution at 30 fps to external storage with a display for extra control over your videos. Internal recordings are also possible with no time limit in 5.8K at 30 fps or C4K at 60 fps. You can also record directly to an external SSD via the USB-C connection for even more video flexibility. The dedicated timecode interface ensures professional synchronisation of image and sound.
Ease of Use and Connectivity
The new Leica UX design is simple and intuitive to navigate. Improved touch and gesture control provides additional ease of use. Many functions can be customised to individual preferences, so you can set up the camera for your personal use. Extensive connectivity options and interfaces ensure a seamless professional workflow. Slots for CFexpress Type B and UHS-II SD memory cards provide fast data storage. The SL3-S has a USB-C port and an HDMI 2.1 output. For a wireless, stable connection, you can use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with MIMO technology. DNG images are transferred to the Leica FOTOS app in just a few seconds. iPhone or iPad users can connect the camera directly as a certified Apple accessory.
Also perfect for professionals: the Leica SL3-S is equipped with Content Credentials technology. Each photo can be signed with tamper-proof metadata to prove authenticity. Data such as camera model, author and editing information can then be checked with free verification tools.
High-Quality Design and Construction
The Leica SL3-S combines the latest technology with the much-loved, high-quality Leica design. The viewfinder has a high-quality optical system, ensuring your subject is always displayed crystal clear at up to 120 frames per second and with a resolution of 5.76 million pixels. The 3.2-inch monitor has a touchscreen and a tilting mechanism for capturing images from difficult angles. The camera is made to the highest quality standards and has a robust construction. The sturdy, all-metal body has an IP54 rating for protection against dust and splashing water.
The Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 28–70mm f/2.8 ASPH is a compact, lightweight zoom lens from wide angle to short telephoto zoom. This zoom lens combines Leica's optical precision with ease of use for everyday professional work. This makes it perfect for landscapes, travel reports, portraits and video productions.
Thanks to the constant f/2.8 aperture across the entire zoom range, this lens offers excellent control over depth of field and consistent performance. Ideal for creative compositions with bokeh or in low-light situations.
The optical design consists of 16 elements in 12 groups, including multiple double-aspherical elements. These ensure high image quality and precision. Thanks to the advanced coatings on the lens elements, you can enjoy optimal colour reproduction and contrast. This improves light transmission and effectively reduces reflections.
A precise, silent autofocus motor focuses extremely quickly. This makes the lens suitable not only for photography, but also for videography.
The robust metal body is designed to perform in challenging conditions. The lens is dust- and splash-resistant. Take the lens with you easily wherever you go, as it weighs just 572 grams and is 102 mm long.

Updates are available via the Leica website and can also be easily installed via the Leica FOTOS app (recommended) or via your camera’s menu.
