List of L-Mount lenses

[dirk]

I will update this list with each new lens popping up.

There is another list for non-L-Mount lenses in another thread to share the experience regarding image quality of adapted lenses on the different L-Mount bodies.

The L-Mount is used for both, fullframe cameras like the Leica SL, Lumix S1R, S1 and Sigma Foveon cameras and APS-C cameras like the T, TL, TL2.

A. Already available

1. Leica Fullframe lenses (SL in the name, 5 lenses)

• Leica Vario-Elmar SL 16-35mm f/3.5-4.5 ASPH
• Leica Vario-Elmarit 24-90mm f/2.8-4 SL ASPH
  
• Leica 75mm f/2 SL APO-Summicron ASPH
• Leica 90mm f/2 SL APO-Summicron
• ASPHLeica Vario-Elmarit 90-280mm f/2.8-4 SL APO

2. Leica APS-C lenses (TL in the name)

• Leica Vario-Elmar TL 11-23mm f/3.5-4.5 ASPH
• Leica Vario-Elmar TL 18-56mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH
• Leica APO-Vario-Elmar TL 55-135mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH
• Leica Elmarit 18mm f/2.8 TL ASPH
• Leica Summicron 23mm f/2 TL ASPH
• Leica Summilux 50mm f/1.4 SL ASPH
• Leica Summilux 35mm f/1.4 TL ASPH 2
• Leica 60mm f/2.8 TL APO-Macro-Elmarit ASPH

Obviously the fixed focal lengths for fullframe did not get yet much love from Leica. Probably a limitation in production capacities.

This will change dramatically, once the Sigma lenses and Panasonic lenses are available in 2019. This is why Sigma is - among other reasons - so important for this L- Mount alliance.

It will become even better in 2020, when even more lenses will be available by all 3 alliance partners.

B. Available in 2019 (only fullframe)



1. Panasonic (6 L-Mount lenses plus Teleconverters, the newly announced ones in green)

24-105/4.0
50/1.4
70-200/4.0
24-70/2.8
70-200/2.8
16-35/4.0
1.4x Teleconverter
2.0x Teleconverter



2. Sigma (14 L-Mount lenses)

16/1.4
30/1.4
56/1.4
14/1.8
20/1.4
24/1.4
28/1.4
35/1.4
40/1.4
50/1.4
70/2.8 Macro
85/1.4
105/1.4
135/1.8

Heavy stuff for FFL lovers Is there any FFL you are missing?

See also my report from the Sigma Event during Photokina here.


3. Leica (2 L-Mount lenses)

35/2.0
50/2.0

So these are then in 2019 already 27 fullframe lenses for the L-Mount and according to the newest presentation in 01/2019, over 42 lenses by the end of 2020. That is impressive compared to Nikon and Canon mirrorless offerings!




C. They do not stop in 2020

In 2020, Leica plans to release another 3 new SL lenses: 21/2.0, 24/2.0 and 28/2.0.
Panasonic did not disclose details yet, but they also want to release in 2020 another bunch of new lenses for the L-Mount, probably more than in 2019 and Sigma announced also, that in 2020 they will release more new lenses for the L-Mount.

Pease are aware that on top of this, Sigma will offer in 2019 adapters for the Sigma lenses with Sigma SA, Nikon F and Canon EF lens mount.

Any complaints here?

So this is going to be even better.

Panasonic published today the first 3 lenses, which will be available right from the start plus its new lens roadmap for 2019 and 2020.

The first 3 lenses are:

24-105/4.0
70-200/4.0
50/1.4

Still in 2019, they will offer:

24-70/2.8
70-200/2.8
16-35/4.0
1.4x Teleconverter
2.0x Teleconverter


In 2020 they will offer:

Super Telephoto Lens
Two Fixed Focal lenght (no focal range mentioned, but I guess it will be 35mm/1.4 or 1.8 and 85mm/1.4 or 1.8 to compement nicely the 50/1.4)
One Macro Lens (my guess is probably a 105mm or 150mm)

These are the shots from an event, published by photography blog








According to the slide above, the whole L-Mount Alliance will have over 42 lenses by the end of 2020 available. That is impressive for such a short time frame!

some of those sigma lenses are not full frame but aps-c such as the 56/1.4
