All About The Magic..
Creating magical and meaningful images is not just about technical specifications and charts. It takes a skilled cinematographer and a lens with the character needed to bring their vision to life.
Enlarged ‘Super 35’ / Large Format / Alexa LF / Alexa Mini LF 16:9 4K Sensor Coverage..
The Summicron-C primes cover a 36mm image circle (36mm x 24mm), for reference a ‘Super 35’ image circle is 28mm. The ARRI Alexa Mini LF 4K 16:9 format has an image circle of 36.3mm, so the Summicron-C + LF sensor delivers amazing results. Camera sensors are getting physically larger and the Summicron-C lenses are ready to perform. Each lens offers an image circle much wider than S35 in diameter, big enough to easily cover sensors from Sony Venice, RED Helium 8K and RED Gemini 5K and the sensors on ARRI Alexa LF + Alexa Mini LF cameras in 4K 16:9 mode, without performance loss in the corners or vignetting.
Aperture..
The T2.0 SUMMICRON-C prime lenses are built with high ISO digital cameras in mind, offering plenty of depth of field and performance while maintaining a compact size and weight.
Focusing..
The classic linear focus scale of the Leitz SUMMICRON-C lenses is familiar to camera assistants around the world. Focus rolls in gently allowing for smooth pulls without the unpleasant sudden snap of sharpness. The 300° of focus rotation provide for extremely accurate focus marks and focus pulls.
Compact, Lightweight and Matched..
Advances in cine lens design allow the SUMMICRON-C lenses to be smaller and more compact than other lenses with comparable performance. Only 4” (101 mm) long and weighing between 2.9 and 3.4 pounds (1.3-1.6 KG), these lenses are perfect for stabilized rigs, aerial cinematography, underwater cinematography, and stereoscopic 3D.
High Optical Performance..
Modern lens design as well as the Leica Leitz cine manufacturing process and tight tolerances ensure low distortion, high resolution and excellent color rendition. The Summicron-C lenses provide a sharp image with a naturalistic Bokeh. The Leica Summicron-C lenses are telecentric, which helps reduce illumination fall-off from light hitting the sensor at an angle outside of the image circle.
