The Leica Summilux-C (now under the Leitz Cine brand) represents the pinnacle of high-speed prime lenses for cinematography. This set of 8 lenses is engineered to deliver a “creamy sharpness” that captures subjects with a natural, organic feel while maintaining extreme clarity and technical precision. Originally honored with a Scientific and Engineering Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, these lenses are a favorite for high-end feature films and commercials due to their unique combination of speed, compact size, and telecentric optical design.
Key Features:
T1.4 High-Speed Aperture: Offers exceptional low-light performance and ultra-shallow depth of field, allowing for dramatic subject separation from the background.
“Creamy Sharpness” Rendering: Delivers high contrast and resolution on fine details while maintaining a soft, natural, and flattering look for human skin tones.
Patented Focus Mechanism: Features an expanded focus scale in the most critical range (close focus), providing 300° of rotation for high-precision focus pulling.
Telecentric Optical Design: Minimizes chromatic aberration and ensures illumination stays consistent from the center to the extreme corners of the frame.
Compact & Lightweight Build: Averaging just 1.7 kg (3.7 lbs) and 142mm (5.6″) in length, these are among the smallest high-speed primes, making them perfect for gimbals, drones, and handheld rigs.
Zero Breathing: Engineered to eliminate “breathing” (shifts in the field of view) when racking focus, ensuring clean, professional transitions.
Titanium PL Mount: Uses high-grade titanium for a lens mount that is significantly stronger and more thermally stable than standard steel.
Matched Physical Specs: Uniform 95mm front diameters and aligned gear positions allow for lens swaps without needing to move matte boxes or follow-focus motors.
Cost: $120,000
