Leica launched a sale on their high-resolution stills-hybrid camera – the SL2. Touted as “Don’t dream it, own it”, you can now get a voucher for a $1,500 (€1,400) discount on six different kits. The camera is available with either a black or silver camera body and three lenses.

All come with the Leica SL2, as mentioned above. The kits will be available in various regions worldwide. Full pricing by region and other fine print and specifics may be found here.
