Key Features:
The Leica-R optical formula delivers a distinctively refined image quality characterized by exceptional three-dimensional depth, smooth bokeh, and the warm, nuanced color rendition that Leica optics are world-famous for.
GL Optics’ precision rehousing adds industry-standard 0.8M gear rings to both the focus and zoom barrels, ensuring seamless compatibility with professional follow focus systems and wireless lens control units.
Full-frame sensor coverage allows this lens to be used on today’s large-format cinema cameras without vignetting, making it compatible with platforms such as the ARRI LF, Sony VENICE 2, and RED MONSTRO.
The PL mount conversion ensures direct compatibility with a wide range of professional cinema cameras without the need for additional adapters, streamlining on-set lens changes and integration.
A consistent front diameter across the zoom range allows uninterrupted use of matte boxes and clip-on ND filters throughout the full focal range.
The 80-200mm telephoto zoom range covers medium to long telephoto perspectives, making it highly versatile for dialogue scenes, portraiture, event coverage, and capturing action from a distance.
The robust, precision-machined metal barrel provides the durability and tactile reliability expected on professional sets, significantly improving on the handling of the original Leica-R photographic housing.
