Following the announcement of the L2 technology collaboration between Panasonic and Leica Camera, there was some speculation that working closely between two of the three members of the L-Mount alliance could lead to a parallel version of the L-Mount, with the Sigma camera and lens missing. L2 out on advanced technology by partnership.
We contacted Panasonic for comment and later stated that the L2 is completely different from the L-Mount partnership and that L-Mount aims to maintain a stable balance between the products of the three brands.
Below is Panasonic’s statement DPreview:
‘L² technology is not a new alliance but a new standard created by Leica Camera AG and Panasonic.
The L-Mount is a lens mount standard developed by Leica Camera AG and licensed by Leica Camera AG to Alliance members.
Panasonic is one of the licensed members and we aim to maintain a stable product balance among the alliance partners. Therefore, as a member of the L-Mount Alliance, we will be compatible with Sigma products. There is no change at this point.
L² Technology is the symbol that Leica Camera AG and Panasonic will invest in and develop new standards together.
These new values ​​will be integrated into our new cameras for Panasonic and Leica, and each company will have its own marketing story. ‘
