A Leica SL 24-70mm f/2.8 for $2,750.

A rebadged Sigma if the rest of the rumor is to be believed. How much is the Sigma on the market?
RE: Hell just froze ... ;-) - Klaus - 05-04-2021
Still ...

Well, twice the price at least just for the Leica name ....
RE: Hell just froze ... ;-) - Rover - 05-04-2021
...and the red dot, if it's there at all. If it isn't (it's not seen on that photo), then it explains the "moderate" price, as the dot would've added $1000ish to the price on top of the name premium)

Hey red dots are everything. I hear people pay millions for first tweets and other stuff - so why not a few measly hundreds for a red dot ?

Well, whatever floats their boats.
I wouldn't have bought a Leica if I had had all the money in the world. I would've just spent the surplus on charity, for instance.

Klaus, are you saying that your SL dream might materialize?

I think I'm not yet ready to pay $10.000 AUD for a Leica camera. ;-)
There are rumors about a CL2 though ...

Would be funny if someone bought that "Leica" lens... and put in on a Sigma FP.
