The inserts on both the handgrip and main body panels are real leather and, as you’d expect from Leica, the whole fit and finish is flawless with the all-important ‘Made In Germany’ plate on the base. Leica stresses the point that, when it says “all metal”, it means “all-metal” – there’s absolutely no fiberglass in the SL2’s construction. The handgrip has been reshaped and the rear panel control layout completely redesigned so the ergonomics are much nicer. It’s also in the interests of strength and durability that Leica has stuck with a fixed monitor screen which, says the company, was “a conscious decision”, although a tilting panel was apparently in the original design brief. There’s also insulation to enable shooting in sub-zero temperatures.
The chassis is machined magnesium alloy, and the weather sealing has been beefed-up to IP54 standard which means the SL2 can get wetter for longer.
