Leica R lenses, especially when rehoused by TLS (True Lens Service) for cinema use, are popular for their ability to work with full-frame digital cinematography cameras. They are known for producing a distinct visual character with sharp resolution, good contrast, and subtly warm colors, along with a smooth bokeh.
Enhancements Through Rehousing
The rehousing process by TLS significantly improves the lenses’ functionality for modern filmmaking. This includes features like expanded focus rotation for precise focus pulling, smoother aperture control, a robust PL mount, and durable housing that eliminates backlash. The gearing is also standardized for compatibility with cinema lens control systems.
Specific Models and Coverage
Several specific Leica R lens models are being rehoused, covering a range of focal lengths from wide-angle to telephoto. These rehoused lenses are designed to cover Super 35mm and Full Frame formats, with some even capable of covering the Vista Vision sensor. They often feature improved close focus and maintain the original Leica optical quality.
