Leica SL3 Reporter announced
High-end camera maker Leica has announced the Leica SL3 Reporter mirrorless camera. The new model is based on the existing Leica SL3 and has the same technical specs; however, it features a hard-wearing wearing scratch-resistant, dark green finish and attractive yet functional aramid body covering, which is said to improve grip.
I don’t usually like special editions, but the Reporter versions are highly attractive and hugely popular. What’s more, they maintain high residuals should the time come to upgrade.
The tough finish was used on earlier Reporter models (such as the M10, SL2-S and Q2 series) and the original Leica M11 camera, although the latter was available in a matte black colour only.
The Leica SL3 Reporter is now available worldwide in all Leica Stores, the Leica Online Store and specialist retailers at a price of £6,200.00 / €7,200.00 including VAT, about £280/ €300 more than the standard Leica SL3.

Press Release
New: Leica SL3 Reporter
A robust design variant of the mirrorless Leica full-frame system camera perfectly suited to the most exacting photographic requirements
Wetzlar, 6th of November 2025 – Leica Camera AG is pleased to announce the launch of the Leica SL3
Reporter, a new addition to the company’s Reporter design series. This particularly robust version of the Leica SL3 represents the latest in a long line of specially developed Leica cameras. The Leica SL3 Reporter is equipped with features that have been specifically designed for the harsh conditions of reportage and press photography, which enables maximum precision even under the most adverse shooting conditions. The result combines maximum functionality and reliability with a unique camera design that is both understated and striking.
The Leica SL3 Reporter features a particularly scratch-resistant dark green finish and an aramid fabric cover, which provide additional protection for the robust camera body against abrasion and environmental influences. Furthermore, the special trim, with its unique texture, also offers significantly improved grip, thus ensuring enhanced stability when taking photographs and filming.
Over time, the trim develops a unique patina that reflects the traces of its photographic journey and the character of a true reportage camera. The distinctive design is characterised by a combination of dark green paintwork with black control elements, and the absence of the red Leica logo, which serves to emphasise the SL3 Reporter’s suitability for challenging working environments.
In terms of its technical specifications, the design variant corresponds to the Leica SL3 series model. This model combines state-of-the-art technology with outstanding image quality of up to 60 megapixels, precise autofocus, the best materials and ‘Made in Germany’ manufacturing quality. This product is robust, reliable and is perfect for all your photography and videography needs. It is also very easy to use with a fast connection to the Leica FOTOS App to facilitate a seamless professional workflow.
The Leica SL3 Reporter is now available worldwide in all Leica Stores, the Leica Online Store and specialist retailers at a price of £6,200.00 / €7,200.00 including VAT.
