What do all of you think of this? I’ve always said that Leica has the SL system now, so they should produce longer telephotos for people that need them. I think this is a great direction. Sigma has definitely been doing this for the L mount system for a while now, as some of you know. They do have something similar focal length wise, which I have reviewed for those interested. The link to the review is here. The price for the Vario-Elmar-SL 100-400 is $2,195, which isn’t too crazy for Leica either. the 1.4x Extender is priced at $875. As always, thanks for stopping by! There are some specs below that I’ve listed:
- Optical image stabilization system compensates for up to 4 stops of camera shake.
- Detachable Arca-type-compatible tripod base.
- Fast internal focusing.
- Weather-sealed design with AquaDura coating.
