From the original SL to the SL2-S, and now the SL3, my journey with the Leica SL System has been remarkable. When I transitioned from a complete professional Nikon system with the Leica M240 to the Leica SL in 2015, I was apprehensive. In my video "5 Years, 1 Camera," I detailed my initial journey with the SL over 5 years of professional use without any issues. Since then, the SL2-S has become my primary tool, being equally as reliable, and offering significant upgrades over the SL, even though I never felt a pressing need for more.

The SL wasn't perfect, but it was so well-suited to my needs that upgrading didn't seem necessary; and the SL2-S, with its subtle yet impactful enhancements and improved 24MP sensor, was more than adequate for most of us. I was proud to make a video for Leica 'A visual Symphony’, showcasing the photo and video performance of the (pre-production) SL2-S, and I'm incredibly proud to have been part of the evolution of these cameras.
