The lenses are characterized by their [standard focal lengths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/professionalgrade-standard-zoom-lens) along with a shallow depth of field and both boast f/2 maximum aperture. These features combine to make the lenses ready to deliver exceptional performance in scenarios where lighting is a concern. The lenses also boast a quick shutter speed, accuracy that extends to the very corners of the images and more. The Leica SL 35 and SL 50 lenses are priced at $2,267 and $1,924, respectively, and are available now directly from the brand and at authorized retailers.
