These tests look at colour rendering, moire and file quality at ISO 50 - 100,000. Once again Leica have produced a sensible and interesting camera which is going to appeal to a lot of different users, both old and new.Īs of February 1st 2021 Sean Reid at has just published side by side studio tests of the Leica SL2-S, SL2 and SL.
