Leica SL2-S Reporter for photo and video journalism without limits

Leica SL2-S Reporter

The Transcontinenta Group, distributor of Leica for the Netherlands, presents with the Leica SL2-S Reporter a new member of its Reporter-Design-Series and thus pays highest tribute to photo and video journalism.

The robust design version, in which a Leica M10-P,  Leica Q2 and Leica Q2 Monochrome have already been released, meets the high requirements of the often adverse operating conditions of professional photography at any time. Due to its unobtrusive appearance, the reliable precision tool for photographing and filming makes it possible to become a part of the action without attracting attention and to concentrate exclusively on it thanks to its intuitive operation. 

The Leica SL2-S Reporter redefines the limits of resilience with its robust all-metal body, the particularly scratch-resistant paint finish in dark green and the aramid fibre coating. Thus, it easily defies extreme temperatures, shocks, dust, and water and offers nature- and outdoor photographers as well as photo journalists and press photographers almost limitless possibilities. The resistant synthetic fibre aramid is also used for the production of protective equipment. With its distinctive pattern of tightly interwoven fibres, the special armour not only provides an extraordinary look but also a considerably increased grip for even more safety and stability when photographing and filming. In its technical characteristics, the design variant corresponds to the serial model Leica SL2-S. 

Pricing and availability

The Leica SL2-S Reporter will be available in the Netherlands exclusively at the Leica Store Amsterdam and the Leica Store Lisse. The recommended retail price will be € 5.290,00 including VAT.
