L-Mount Alliance
The L-Mount Alliance is an alliance between Leica Camera AG, Panasonic and Sigma, launched on 25 September 2018, whereby Panasonic and Sigma will make use of the L-Mount standard initially developed by Leica and will offer cameras and lenses utilising this lens mount with improved firmware and full compatibility among these Alliance products.
On the same day, Panasonic announced its S1R and S1 full-frame L-mount cameras, and Sigma announced a full-frame L-mount camera using the company's unique Foveon sensor technology. Panasonic's cameras will launch with three new lenses, and Sigma will initially release the same L-mount variants of existing lenses as they are producing for the Sony E-mount.
According to Sigma CEO, Kazuto Yamaki, the "L-mount system is not exactly the same as the existing one. We updated it a little bit to work better with such lenses through lens adapters."
Six cameras and 39 native lenses have been announced for the L-Mount by 2020.
Next company to join the alliance was German cinema lens maker Ernst Leitz Wetzlar GmbH in 2021, later renamed Leitz Cine. It since has been followed by a number of other camera and lens manufacturers.
Despite not being alliance members, some other brands, such as 7Artisans, TTartisan, AstrHori and Meike, have also introduced their autofocusing lenses for L-mount.
