Today I talk about my new lens, the Leica 24-70 f/2.8 Vario Elmarit. I have been using this lens with my Leica SL2-S and I really think it is spectacular BUT is the Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 ART the same lens for much less?
Enjoy!

Thanks all! I have been using this lens and it has become my #1 on the SL2-S which is crazy as I have always been a prime guy. I have many more newer images added to the written review here: www.stevehuffphoto.com/2021/07/25/the-leica-24-70-f-2-8-vario-elmarit-l-mount-lens-review/
Thanks for all of the information on the SL2-S system and the lenses. Your videos weighed heavily in my decision to buy one of the kits, and I am thrilled with the camera and the lenses. I really do appreciate the time and effort that you put into your videos. And as a side note - I love your property and I like the idea of retiring somewhere like that. Can you tell us what part of the country that is?? Thank you
I loved this one again! great. Do you have an idea of the comparison with the Lumix SPro 24-70 f/2,8 ?
I have a Leica SL, the original one, with the 24-90mm monster lens. You’re right. It’s heavy and big, but a great camera and lens. I love it, but I tend to use my small TL2 for every day use because it’s small and light.
Am considering getting this combination. SL 601 + 24-90. Is the 24-90 that good or should a sigma 24-70 be a wiser choice. Am not worried about size!
I love photography...it's my passion..
Thanks for the review, this is very helpful! Btw, the quality and color of this review is amazing! 👏🏾
Sounds like my dream lens and camera.
Glad you’re back talking about the Leica SL line, and this new lens! What do you think the chances are that Leica will also release a 70-200 f/2.8 lens eventually as well? I guess they’ll have to wait until Sigma finally releases theirs in the L-mount? 😝
Totally agree. Hopefully Leica will come up with a 70-200/2.8 DG DN as the existing 90-280 is just too huge.
I think it would be very smart for Leica to release a 70-200 2.8. I hope they do and if they do I will 100% review it as I need something with some reach around here. ; )
If Sigma does it Leica will……
Perhaps a tad off topic…what kind of bird feeder is that?? Looks so cool! I know - I’m taking gear review to a whole new level with this question!
Great review! Loving my Sl2-2. Greetings from Portugal
love your review. very honest and not overhyping the leica brand like most other leica shooters do.
It's probably a re-packaged Sigma, which is not a bad thing. Still, it is probably optimized for Leica SL cameras, and has sturdier construction with metal. I love my Sigma 24-70mm for my Sony cameras.
Thank you for sharing and introducing, now I know that how I choose a lens for my Leica SL2-S.
Thanks, I was wondering when we'd hear about this lens - it seemed to go under the radar.

Thank you again for another great review.
What is your favourite M lens on an SL2-S (and why)? I have been using vintage R lenses on the SL2-S and LOVE love LOVE them - but with this free adaptor, would love to try one M lens

I need CC, please turn on
Is it a deal breaker when it comes to image stablizer on either cam and lens?
The IS helps in getting crisp images and compensate shaky hands even if you shoot faster shutter speed, I think it is mandatory for my usage.
The sl2s is a great camera, pure class in it’s simplicity. Very heavy but reassuringly so I would say. I need a cheap m mount option. VOITLANDER , TTArtisan or 7artisans? Any suggestions for a 35 & 50 ? I have a 35mm Nikon f2 that I’m going to try on the sl2s.
I wish someone would break away from this 24-70 range. It would be SO much more useful to have a 50-100 f2. Surely that would be easier to make as well and SO much more used for shooting people
and compare to the lumix 24/70 S Pro with his nice focus clutch for manual focusing ?
The clutch for manual focussing is not that good when you see how it works.
Say you are in AF mode and want to adjust the focus manually. You pull the clutch towards you and jump into manual focus mode. But the focus is made to the former position of this manual focus ring that does not follow the AF focus distance. Let's say it was 3m the last time you used the Manual Focus ring pulling the clutch and now you are focusing 0,9m. you completely loose the position of the AF mode as the lens goes back to this 3m distance from the east time you used it. And you need to turn the focus ring to come back to 0,9m... having it on my 70-200 I can tell you that I really don't like this clutch at all.
I largely prefer being in Manual focus mode with pressing the joystick for AF and as soon as I grab the focus ring, I can tune my focus manually without loosing the focus distance.
Really nice fotos!!! 👌👌👍
What was that beginning opening shot taken with? The lens and the flower
Sony FX3 and the Sony 20 f/1.8 G Lens.
If only the SL 2 S had a tilt screen ………..if only. I went for the LUMIX S5 & Sigma 24-70 , in Australia the numbers are $4500 for my kit vs $9000 with the sigma & $10;500 with the VE 24-70. In the present climate Less is more.
I had a mix/middle solution with Lumix S5 and this SL 24-70，it goes really well
Made in Japan not Germany?
I’ve only had two sigma lenses and both needed af fine tuning and I just couldn’t get it to work like my native lenses.. I’m considering getting the SL2S but can anyone report back if the 24-70 sigma needs af tuning?!
The newest one is always better.. so buy this too.
SL2-S . . . best camera I EVER owned
I just bought an SL (601) to see if I'd like the whole eco system. Turns out I'm buying a SL2-S next month :D
Or how about putting on the CL… for a different perspective
Probably different coatings... Just that
Do you mean between the Leica 24-70 and the Sigma Art 24-70, or do you mean between the Leica 24-70 and the Leica 24-90?
@@jimrodney4797 24 to 70s. Cheers
@@iloper agreed, he was referring to the 24-70s.
Doesn't the Leica SL2-S use the same image sensor as the Sony A7 III?
That's never been announced, confirmed or mentioned by Sony or Leica. Doesn't matter, it's the implementation that is key. Even if two cameras use the same sensor, their performance can be drastically different in color and even high ISO. The A7III's color is no where near the Leica's color. They are different. Most importantly, the Sony body feels like an actual Toy compared to the SL2S.
Maybe Sigma just took a Leica unit apart and made a knock-off
I'm hesitating buying a Leica SL2 or a Hasselblad X1DII. The first one is a result coming from Leica, Panasonic and Sigma (the L-mount), and the second one is made in China. And I do have problems with this. If I spend +10K on a camera, I want it to be genuine German or Swedish built. No...I don't want a sigma lens on my SL2! It's like having a Mercedes-AMG engine in your Aston Martin. And even if it's a great engine.....no, just no...
not the best for travel, get a Panasonic LX10

Minimal differences NOT worth over 2x the price.
Indeed, but you can be sure the Leica has better QC.
