Design
The SL sensor stack is not as thin as the Leica M's. It still handles wide angle lenses surprisingly well, and gets close to the M in that regard.
Context
The Leica SL was the first of the current SL system. The SL2 followed in 2019, then the SL3.
Market
The Leica SL had an original price of $7,450 USD. Leica cut it to $5,995 in July 2017 and to $4,250 by July 2019. A used unit listed on Leica Camera Classic came with the original box, documents, battery, charger, and strap for $1,695.00. Some users found the system pricing expensive and the menu system unintuitive. Others praised its performance, and one said they sold all their Sony gear to afford it.
