Leica's new Summilux-SL 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. is an L-Mount prime the company says is the most compact 50mm f/1.4 on the market, regardless of mount. Notable for SL and Panasonic S-series shooters who've had limited fast-fifty options at this size.

Leica's new SL3-P slots into the SL3 family at 44.9MP, with 40fps raw shooting, 8K open gate video, and 4K/120p. Body-only price is $6,690 USD / £5,150 GBP. Same physical chassis as the SL3 and SL3-S, minus the red dot. Two new L-mount lenses announced alongside it, headlined by a redesigned Summilux-SL 50mm f/1.4 ASPH that's dramatically smaller and lighter than the current version — 584g, 75.5mm long, with a 67mm filter thread instead of 82mm.

Leica's updated Summilux-SL 50mm F1.4 Asph. cuts nearly 500g and almost 50mm of length from its predecessor, with a 67mm filter thread replacing the old 82mm. The new APO-Macro-Elmarit-SL 100mm F2.8 adds 1:1 macro to the SL lineup, with apochromatic correction and a design lineage tracing back to a 1987 R-mount classic. The 50mm retails at $4,950.
