Is the leica apo macro elmarit sl 100mm f 2 8 good for product photography?

Yes, I'd say it's a sensible pick for product work. A 100mm macro lets you fill the frame with a small object from a comfortable working distance, and f/2.8 gives you room to control depth of field. It isn't stabilised, but product shots are slow and usually made on a tripod, much like Landscape work, so that matters less here.

If you're building a product setup, I'd look at these bodies from the lens's list:

• Leica SL3 if you want a full frame body with the lens's native mount.
• Panasonic Lumix S1R II for studio work, where a high-resolution sensor helps when you crop or print large.
• Sigma fp if you want something compact for a small home studio.
