Leicaflex SL 35mm SLR

Leicaflex SL 35mm SLR - Good Condition | Classic German Professional Film Camera with Leica R Mount

The Leicaflex SL is one of the most respected and celebrated professional 35mm SLR cameras ever produced — a landmark in Leica's storied history that combined the brand's legendary optical heritage with a comprehensive and refined TTL metering system that set the standard for professional SLR cameras of its era. Produced between 1968 and 1974 by Ernst Leitz Wetzlar in Germany, the SL introduced selective TTL spot metering — a genuinely sophisticated and accurate metering system that gave professional photographers unprecedented control over exposure in demanding lighting situations. Built to the highest standards with a solid all-metal body that exudes precision and quality, the Leicaflex SL remains one of the most tactile and rewarding film cameras ever made. Built around the Leica R mount, it gives access to Leica's celebrated range of R-series lenses — some of the finest optics ever produced for a 35mm SLR system. Serial number SR 1374338.
