Interchangeable lenses
The range of interchangeable lenses in the Leica S system includes
focal lengths from wide angle to telephoto, including a macro lens
for close-up pictures, a zoom lens and a T(ilt) and S(hift) model for
preventing falling lines or to precisely specify the depth of field
progression. Many models are available with or without an integral
central shutter - for flash pictures with sync speeds of up to
1
/
500
s. All Leica S lenses offer high speeds relative to the picture
format and always deliver outstanding imaging results.
Filters
UVa filters and polarization filters are available for Leica S lenses
fitted with standard filter threads.
Interchangeable focusing screens
There are three focusing screens for the LEICA S2:
• Uniform ground-glass screen
(standard, included with camera, order no. 16 000)
• Uniform ground-glass screen with grid divisions
(order no. 16 002, also has markings for creating slides for TV
reproduction).
• The focusing screen with order no. 16,001 has a split-image
and micro-prism ring in addition to the ground glass surface.
The focusing screens are supplied separately in a container
with tweezers and a dust brush.
Flash units
With a maximum guide number of 190 (ft. in 105mm setting),
an automatically controlled zoom reflector, an optional second
reflector and many other functions, the LEICA SF 58 system
flash unit is both powerful and versatile. Thanks to its perma-
nently attached flash foot with additional control and signal
contacts, which are used to automatically transfer a range of
data and settings, it is very easy to use. (Order no. 14 488)
The LEICA SF 24D system flash unit is exceptionally compact.
Like the LEICA SF 58, it has a permanently attached flash foot
with all contacts and is also very easy to operate. (Order no.

Hand grip S2
Thanks to its shape and conveniently positioned controls, the
S2 hand grip makes it much easier to take portrait format pic -
tures. In addition, it allows a supplementary battery to be used
to extend the capacity, i.e. the operating time / number of pic-
tures. It is quick and easy to attach using a tripod screw. (Order
no. 16 003)
S Pro battery charger
With the S Pro battery charger you can significantly increase
and ensure the availability of your Leica S system, particularly
when used for long periods: It can charge two batteries simulta-
neously. (Order no. 16 011)
Remote release cable S
The electric remote release cable S is ideal if you require the maxi-
mum possible freedom from blurring. (Order no. 16 012)

to playback or storage equipment with corresponding HDMI
sockets. Length = 1.5m (Order no. 14 491 / 14 492 [JP/TW])
