It's not often that Leicas are discounted, but this is an offer that's flown under the radar and is soon to be ending at the end of January! The deal in question is a massive $1,500 off a Leica SL2 mirrorless camera with either Summicron prime lens or Vario zoom!
Every photographer – myself included – has wowed over a camera with that prestigious Red Dot at one point or another, heck I even own two! While still at this price point, this setup might be out of reach for most, with a grand and a half shaved off the price, a new Leica is now in the realm of affordability!
Two bundles are available with this deal: 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 prime lenses and also shoot with a 50mm as the focal length 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 Leica 24-70mm Vario-Elmarit-SL is a more versatile choice, though, and either lens is going to serve you well.

As a luxury brand, Leica is more expensive than other camera systems on the market.
