The Leica Summicron-C lens set is a series of premium cinema prime lenses designed to deliver high-end optical performance in a compact, lightweight form factor. Often referred to as the “little brother” to the Summilux-C line, these lenses offer a consistent T2.0 aperture across the entire range and are built to handle the demands of modern digital cinematography, including larger sensor formats.
Key Features:
Aperture Range: Consistent T2.0 to T22 (with a full-close position) across all focal lengths.
Image Circle: A generous 36mm image circle, designed to cover Super 35 and larger sensors such as RED 6K/8K and ARRI Alexa Open Gate.
Matched Physicality: Almost all lenses in the set share a 95mm front diameter and identical focus/iris gear positions for fast lens changes.
Compact Design: Measuring only 101mm (4 inches) in length for most focal lengths, making them ideal for gimbals, drones, and handheld rigs.
Creamy Sharpness: Delivers high resolution and contrast while maintaining a “humane” look that renders skin tones smoothly without being clinical.
Natural Bokeh: Features a circular iris that produces a naturalistic, pleasant out-of-focus roll-off.
Workflow Efficiency: Unified gear placement means follow-focus and lens motors do not need repositioning when swapping between different focal lengths.
Portability: Their lightweight build (roughly 1.3–1.8 kg) allows for high-end cinematic quality on smaller camera builds and stabilizer systems.
True Color Rendition: Advanced coatings ensure neutral color balance across the entire set, minimizing color grading time in post-production.
Cost: TBD
