Leica Lenses
Leica’s legendary status has been earned throughout 150 years of excellence, developing superb quality cameras and compatible Leica lenses. To this day their products are made to ‘support the creation and preservation of unique moments,’ used by countless iconic photographers for generations, including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank and Martine Franck. Discover the entire range here at Park Cameras and find the perfect Leica lens to tell your story.
Leica mirrorless lenses are available in two ranges, including full-frame SL mirrorless system lenses and APS-C crop sensor Leica CL lenses, also known as TL lenses, for CL and TL cameras.
SL lenses offer one of the fastest autofocus systems, with a Dual Syncro Drive, together with class-leading optical pedigree and exquisite results. These can be mounted directly onto CL and TL2 bodies, while TL lenses can be mounted onto full-frame cameras, where the body will automatically switch to crop mode.
Leica M lenses are developed for the hugely popular Leica rangefinder system, developed from original designs to provide unique qualities and a depth of character, which has yet to be matched.
These ranges provide a comprehensive choice of wide-angle, standard, telephoto and macro lens options, in predominantly prime format, with some zooms, known as Vario lenses.
Medium Format S-system Lenses are designed to extract every detail from S System cameras, through large-diameter, aspherical lenses of the highest quality. Leica S-Lenses deliver superb imaging performance at any focusing distance throughout the aperture range.
System adapters allow you to adapt different lenses onto different camera body mounts, which is useful for photographers who switch between camera systems. Leica lenses include features such as aspherical glass (ASPH), advanced optical engineering and bright aperture capabilities, such as Leica Elmarit lenses with an f/2.8 aperture.
