Leica vario elmarit sl 28 70mm f 2 8 asph vs panasonic lumix s pro 24 70mm f 2 8?

Both are constant f/2.8 zooms for L-Mount full-frame bodies, both autofocus, and neither has stabilisation. The Leica runs 28-70mm and the Panasonic 24-70mm, so the difference is at the wide end. The Panasonic reaches 24mm, which suits the landscape and interiors kind of shooting where you want more of the scene. If you want the Panasonic's wider reach, it fits the classic 24-70mm standard zoom from lenses.

The Leica is the choice if you want the 28mm start for a slightly tighter, more everyday view, or if you're already in the Leica system. It's also the lens I'd go for if you're shooting on a Leica body and want to stay in the family. On an APS-C body, the Leica frames like 42-105mm and the Panasonic like 36-105mm.

For a closer look, see the Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 28-70mm and the Panasonic Lumix S Pro 24-70mm.
