Uncompromising Natural Images

The Leitz SUMMILUX-C lenses were designed to outperform every lens in the market with clarity, resolution, and accurate color rendition. Many unwanted aberrations like chromatic aberrations and breathing have been corrected out of the lenses using exotic aspherical elements and a design that makes the lenses telecentric with almost no distortion.

Telecentricity also contributes to the consistent performance across the entire field with illumination and resolution in the corners matching the center of the frame. The flat, clear field gives cinematographers a beautifully clear canvas on which to build their looks using lighting, filtration, and production design. The rich, warm skin tones and gentle focus roll off of the Leitz SUMMILUX-C lenses mean that talent always looks natural instead of clinical. While details remain sharp, skin tones of all hues take on a gentle, creamy softness.

Their larger-than-Super 35 image circle means most of the focal lengths also work well on full frame sensors at specific aspect ratios. In fact, as the lenses stretch to the edges of the frame more character is introduced to the image. The edge-to-edge performance of the LEITZ ZOOMs make them an ideal pairing when looking for companion zoom lenses.

The consistency of these lenses, from their matched size and focus/iris ring positions, to their consistent front diameters, to their matched color temperature, and even to their weight make the SUMMILUX-C lenses a go-to lens for cinematographers looking to capture the world as they see it.

At the time of their release the Leitz SUMMILUX-C prime lenses were the most revolutionary lenses designed for cinematography in decades, quickly earning a Scientific and Engineering Award from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences® in 2015. Arriving on the cusp of the transition into mainstream digital cinematography, they incorporated design elements for both.

The most eye-catching characteristic is their relatively compact size given their fast T1.4 aperture. Comparable high-speed Super 35 lenses at the time were almost twice as big and heavy. To make up for their small size, they feature a patented focus design to expand focus marks in the most critical areas and the markings from 6 feet to infinity on all lenses are consistently numbered and spaced.

All 12 Focal lengths available now only at Lemac Rentals.
