Best camera for the leica apo macro elmarit sl 100mm f 2 8?

For this lens, I'd shoot it on a full-frame body. That's what it's made for, so the 100mm reads as marked. On APS-C you get the view of a 150mm, which is a different lens for macro work.

My picks from the list of bodies it fits:

• Leica SL3: the newest SL in the list, and the most natural partner for a Leica macro.
• Leica SL2-S: a full-frame SL that pairs well with this lens.
• Panasonic Lumix S5 II: full frame and a sensible choice if you want to spend less on the body.

If you're unsure, the Sensor sizes guide explains what full frame costs you in size and price. For the field of view, the Focal length converter shows how the 100mm changes across formats.
