Description: Leicaflex SL 35mm single-lens reflex camera, introduced by Leitz Wetzlar in 1971. Built like a precision instrument, the SL features a bright ground-glass focusing screen with microprism assist, mechanical shutter, and full compatibility with Leica R-mount lenses. The battery connector is broken so unable to use the inbuilt meter
