Advertisement Posted June 15, 2023 Posted June 15, 2023 Hi LUF Admin, Take a look here New Classic: Leica SL2 Now in Silver. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
James1975 Posted June 15, 2023 Share #2 Posted June 15, 2023 I really love the look of this. Is the camera worth it in 2023 with the SL3 perhaps 6-8 months away? Probably not. But I do want it. Especially with my new silver 50/1.4. What a combination. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jto555 Posted June 15, 2023 Share #3 Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) I can never understand why companies make a big thing about the colour of a camera. The colour of a camera will not improve the taken image. Nobody has ever looked at a photograph and said "That would have been a much better image if it had been taken with a blue/black/white... camera". As for Leica: Build quality - Nailed it Images quality - Nailed it Customer service - Nailed it Price - Err, not so much. To miss-quote somebody else, it is reassuringly expensive .

TL3 Posted June 15, 2023 Share #5 Posted June 15, 2023 I like it, it gives off Leicaflex / R vibes. But tough sell when we expect an SL3 in the short to medium term. Also feels a bit odd pairing with a Noctilux bundle. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I was in the flagship Madrid store buying the new M11M, I wanted the new 50/1.4 with it. They were released same day and in stock. The manager tells me he has both black and silver and prefers the silver. So I ask if he would show me one so I can see how it looks on the body. He immediately said no. Refused even to open the box. Basically said if you buy it you can see it otherwise no chance. I am never going to buy from there again. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to have options? I'd be lying if I didn't admit part of the reason I choose Leica is because of the way their cameras look. Aesthetics matter to some folks, including myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverover Posted June 15, 2023 Share #8 Posted June 15, 2023 I agree with many, it's nice to have options and i really enjoy my M camera's with the Silver finish, but to me, the SL series cameras really looks better in Black. Just another opinion. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are making watches. Their cameras are, for many, jewelry with a little bit of fun real working features. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virob Posted June 15, 2023 Share #10 Posted June 15, 2023 It wouldn’t stop me from making a purchasing decision whether a camera is black or silver. My one positive thought about the silver SL2 is that it might look less bulky/ intimidating in public than the all black version. I would have to see them side by side in order to determine if that was true or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not his fault… the owner of a local camera store in Lausanne Switzerland told me once he lost the sale of a brand new, just released M10R to a neurotic Leicaman because the seal of the box had been broken when the shop owner checked the camera upon arrival… 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Lane Posted June 15, 2023 Share #16 Posted June 15, 2023 I really wish this version was available around the time the original SL2 was released. I have a bit of a soft spot for two tone cameras but having caved in and purchased the black one last year, I will not be getting this. I would also like to see a titanium or gunmetal finish, maybe in the form of the SL3. If it came early enough in the products life cycle, I would likely get one. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff C. Bassett Posted June 15, 2023 Share #17 Posted June 15, 2023 To echo others, it would be crazy to buy this with the SL3 probably around the corner. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you can call me crazy Geoff. I pre-ordered a Silver SL2 from B&H this morning. For a crazy man I have plenty of good reasons for doing so. This includes knowledge of the 47MP sensor's performance; the SL2 is proven platform that will not be chock full of bugs like the new models are; a limited 1000 production run with the silver aesthetics that reminds me of my old film cameras of the seventies; and finally, I have a nice collection of M lenses that will have a nice stabilized home for the balance of this year and early next for my trips here and abroad.

Aside from the silver - good chance the SL3 will offer precisely zero reason to upgrade for many of us happy SL2 owners - sort of like how the M11 made me as excited as a wet potato to swap out my M10. If I didn't have an SL2 I would have no qualms buying it now and using it immediately instead of waiting(wasting) more of my life missing photos every day for some marginal gain in stuff that is immaterial to me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously a very "wide corner" I dont think Leica will have an issue with sales of 1000 silver units. I haven't been influenced by camera looks however paying extra for a SL2S Reporter recently I not only got a great camera but an extremely nice looking camera. For an additional 6% I can say my investment is worth the happiness I get when using this camera. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
