Gizmodo : You have to marvel at the way Leica dives in to things unapologetically, even when its choices seem like those of a madman. Consider the Leica SL, an entirely new full-frame mirrorless camera. Bundled with a lens it runs over $12,000 and it weighs more than some small boulders. I got to use it for a weekend, and here's what it's like.
Leica is famous for its M series cameras, those classic rangefinders with manual focus and timeless looks. But clearly it is thinking to the future by developing new and modern cameras that aim high in terms of performance and, well, price. The results have been mixed (the blah Leica T and the awesome Leica Q).
The latest is the SL. It's a big huge ol' thing with a 24 megapixel full-frame sensor. It uses a new SL mount for which there are three native lenses: a 24-90mm f/2.8-4, a 90-280mm f/2.8-4, and an upcoming 50mm f/1.4. They are all rival the size and weight of Germany itself.
