List of lenses for the L-mount
After having discussed and detailed all the lenses for the main and the most famous brands, we move on to the brands that I consider as secondary. Leica is a German brand known for offering quality cameras and lenses at a high cost.
In this page, we’ll introduce you all L-mount lenses, the one developed by Leica Camera AG. The first camera to use this L-mount was the Leica T in April 2014, a 16.5 MP camera which is currently no longer produced. In 2015, the Leica SL was the first full-frame camera of the brand to use this L-mount.
On September 25, 2018, an alliance is formed between Leica Camera AG, Panasonic, and Sigma to produce L-mount lenses and bodies using these lenses.
For information, the L-mount exists in two versions:
- The SL version: it refers to the lenses dedicated to full frame. These lenses work perfectly on an APS-C camera (using the classic crop factor of x1.5),
- The T and TL version: they are lenses dedicated to APS-C cameras of the L mount. These lenses can be mounted on a full frame camera, but the camera will automatically be set to “APS-C mode” to adapt the framing.
Here is a summary of cameras using this L mount.
Full frame cameras:
6 Panasonic L-mount cameras
- Panasonic S1R: 47,3 MP, released in March 2019
- Panasonic S1: 24MP, released in March 2019
- Panasonic S1H: 24.2MP, released in December 2019
- Panasonic S5: 24.2MP, released in September 2020
- Panasonic S5 II: 24.0MP, released in January 2023
- Panasonic S5 II X: 24.0MP, released in January 2023
2 Sigma L-mount cameras
- Sigma fp: 24.6MP, released in October 2019
- Sigma fp L: 61MP, released in April 2021
3 Leica L-mount cameras
- Leica SL: 24MP, released in 2015

L-mount Full frame lenses
In 2018, Sigma, Panasonic, and Leica are partnering to produce L-mount lenses, Leica’s native mount. The three brands thus offer a set of lenses, all with autofocus. In any case, if you’re looking for the best l mount lenses, you’ll find what you’re looking for on this page. In case you’re wondering, there are Tamron lenses for L mount for now. To help you in your research, we wrote an article about the best Sigma lenses for Sony E mount. Even if this article is not dedicated to L mount lenses, the Sigma lenses mentioned are also available for L mount. So you can start with the same recommendations if you are looking for the best Sigma lenses for the L mount. I even give you at the beginning of the article, all the links to these L mount lenses.
I intentionally split this page for more simplicity by dissociating manual focus lenses and autofocus lenses.
Autofocus lenses for L-mount - Full frame cameras
You will find below all the manufacturers proposing lenses with autofocus for L-mount full frame cameras:
Leica L mount lenses
Here are all the full frame Leica L mount lenses, summarized in the table below. For information, the acronym “SL” refers to the lenses dedicated to Full frame Leica cameras. There’s a lot of Leica L lenses, zooms and prime lenses. The Leica APO-Vario-Elmarit-SL 90-280mm f/2.8-4 is a L mount zoom lens with an excellent performance for example.

Sigma L-mount lenses
Sigma offers two types of lenses adapted to the L mount: the ones noted “DG DN” and those noted “DG”. As a reminder, the acronym “DG” refers to the lenses dedicated to full frame cameras (which also work however on an APS-C camera). Not to be confused with the “DC DN” lenses, which are only dedicated to APS-C cameras. Also, as a reminder, “OS” indicate a lens offering image stabilization.
Here’s the link to check if you’re looking for a firmware update for Sigma L mount lenses.
Here are the 3 types of lenses you will find from Sigma for the L mount:
Sigma DG DN L-mount lenses
Here are all the Sigma DG DN lenses built for the L mount. They are lenses specifically built to work on mirrorless cameras. There are many l mount zoom lenses from Sigma DC DN. Special mention to the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS L, a great l mount telephoto lens for wildlife photography at a decent price.
In August 2022, Sigma announces the release of 2 new wide-angle lenses available for L-mount and Sony E-mount, the Sigma 20mm f/1.4 DG DN Art L and Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG DN Art L.

Panasonic L-mount lenses
Panasonic creates thus since 2018 lenses under the acronym “Panasonic Lumix S”, which are dedicated to full-frame cameras for the L mount. Here are for now the available lenses from Panasonic for this mount. You will found a few zoom lenses and prime lenses. Panasonic just announced the Panasonic Lumix S 18mm f/1.8 L, an ultra-wide angle lens offering large field-of-view, ideal for capturing for example, landscape photography.
For now, from Panasonic, the longest lens is the Panasonic 70-300mm telephoto zoom lens.
For the 70-200mm telephoto lenses from Panasonic, there are two extenders that will allow you to increase your focal length:
- Panasonic DMW-S TC20 Lumix S – Increases the focal length x2
- Panasonic DMW-S TC14 Lumix S – Increases the focal length x1,4
By the way, here’s the link where you can found all firmware update from Panasonic L mount lenses, especially for the 24-105mm, the two 70-200mm and the 70-300mm. And here’s the Panasonic l mount lenses roadmap !
Manual focus L-mount lenses - Full frame cameras
A few third-party manufacturers also have interesting options if you don’t mind manual focus lenses. Here is the list of brands below:
- Laowa L lenses
- The 7Artisans lenses L
- Kipon lenses L
- Lensbaby L lenses
- Meyer-Optik Gorlitz Lydith lenses
- TTArtisan L lenses
- The Meike lenses L
- The Nisi lenses L
Laowa L-mount lenses
Venus Laowa offers a range of lenses that fit on the L-mount. They are all manual focus and without stabilization. There are some serious and special references for macro fans. However, they can be tricky to find on the classic websites.
If you’re into macro photography and looking for a L-mount macro lens, don’t hesitate to have a look at these Laowa lenses. Some lenses are offering magnification ratio over 1:1 (24mm, 25mm, 65mm) and some others can be used as a portrait-lens (for example, the Laowa 100mm). A lot of macro photography fans are using a tripod to get a sharper shot and don’t actually care about autofocus on a macro lens.
7Artisans L-mount lenses
To my knowledge, these are the 7Artisans lenses for the L mount for Full frame L cameras.
Lens | Type | Focal length | Max. aperture | Ø filter | Stab. | Autofocus | Best Price |

TTArtisan lenses for L-mount
TTArtisan is a Chinese manufacturer providing several manual focus lenses for full-frame L-mount cameras. There are a few ttartisan L mount lenses for now : a fisheye-lens (the 11mm) with a huge 180° angle of view, a wide angle lens (the 21mm) with a large f/1.5 constant aperture, ideal to create shallow depth of field and for low-light photography and a prime lens with a large aperture (the 50mm). The TTArtisan 11mm f/2.8 L offers very good performances, for a price under 200$.

L-mount lenses - APS-C mirrorless cameras
Bellow, you’ll find a l-mount lenses list for L-mount APS-C cameras. Note that there is no Panasonic L-mount APS-C camera for now.
As mentioned above, Leica proposes several APS-C mirrorless cameras (Leica TL2 and Leica CL). So, in this section, you will find all autofocus and manual focus lenses available for these APS-C L-mount cameras.
As for L-mount full frame cameras, I decided to distinguish autofocus lenses from those offering only manual focus.
L-mount lenses with autofocus - APS-C cameras
Only two manufacturers currently produce lenses with autofocus for APS-C L-mount cameras:
Leica lenses for APS-C L mount (T & TL)
Here are the lenses proposed by Leica for APS-C cameras of the brand. As a reminder, the acronyms “T” and “TL” refer to the Leica lenses for APS-C cameras (Leica TL2 and Leica CL cameras).
