Red Dot Forum Camera Talk: Leica L-Mount Lenses

For this week's livestream, we'll be going in-depth with Leica L-Mount Lenses. For the L-Mount, Leica literally redefined its performance metrics, heralding in a new era in lens design. David and Josh will talk about the flexible SL zooms, reference-class SL primes, compact TL range, cover using Leica L-Mount adapters for S, M and R glass, and discuss the origin and impact of the L-Mount Alliance.
