They market their respective products as competitors, each with their own product and marketing strategies. The partners in the alliance utilise the L-Mount standard for cameras and lenses that are offered under their own brand names. Currently, the members of the alliance are Leica Camera, SIGMA, Panasonic, and Ernst Leitz Wetzlar GmbH. The members of the L-Mount Alliance all utilise the L-Mount standard developed by Leica Camera AG for mirrorless camera systems.

The advantages of the L-Mount when it comes to designing lenses is unquestionable as it enables fast, high-performance lenses to be smaller and less expensive to manufacture, characteristics limited by the physics of a deeper flange depth.” Rainer Hercher, Managing Director: “We believe that the future of photography and cinematography includes a substantial market for shallow flange depth camera and lens designs.

Originally introduced by Leica Camera AG in 2014, the L-Mount is now available on 10 cameras and over 50 lenses across the three existing alliance partners. The L-Mount offers the advantages of a large inner diameter of 51.6 mm along with a shallow flange depth of 20 mm, as well as a robust electronic interface. Ernst Leitz Wetzlar designs and manufactures premium lenses for cinematography and believes that products developed with the L-Mount will present great benefits to cinematographers and photographers alike. Consisting of founding members Leica Camera AG, SIGMA, and Panasonic, the goal of the alliance is to utilize the L-mount standard developed by Leica Camera AG for cameras and lenses in future product development.
