It's not often that Leicas are discounted, even in the Cyber Monday camera deals. But this is an offer that's flown under the radar: $1,500 off a Leica SL2 mirrorless camera with a Summicron prime lens or Vario zoom!
Every photographer – me included – has coveted a camera with that prestigious Red Dot at one point or another, but its price put it out of reach for most of us. However, with a grand and a half shaved off the price, a new Leica is now in the realm of affordability!
Two bundles are available: one with the Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-70mm f/2.8 Asph zoom lens, and one with the Summicron-SL 50mm f/2 Asph prime lens. Personally I'd go for that nifty fifty, as I'm a big fan of primes – and a 50mm is a fantastic all-rounder that covers everything from street photography to portraiture (for what it's worth, I'd pick that limited-run silver body as well). The 24-70mm is a more versatile choice, though, and either lens is going to serve you well.

Save $1,500 at Adorama (with Leica voucher) With 5.5 stops of in-body image stabilization, the SL2 is a fierce handheld performer – perfect for the kind of run-and-gun, manual focus firing that Leicas are known for. Ideal with this fast 50mm f/2 lens.

As a luxury brand, Leica is more expensive than other camera systems on the market. That being the case, discounts really don't come along very often – so if you're interested in a highly covetable Leica SL2 (which earned 4½ stars in our review) this is a golden opportunity to pick one up at an unbeatable price.
