ICONIC IMAGES, CLASSIC CHARACTER
INCREDIBLY SMALL AND LIGHTWEIGHT
CAMERA COMPATIBILITY
The Leitz M 0.8 lenses bring a unique interpretation of light,
skin tones and color that has inspired photographers and
cinematographers for years. Naturally the lenses offer a sharp and
focused center with gradual and pleasing fall off of contrast and
light toward the edges, leading the view to the image center as well
as adding dimensionality to the scene. This look and feel is now
available to the cinematographer searching for something new.
The compact size of the Leitz M 0.8 lenses is made possible by
retaining the Leica M-Mount. They range from 74 mm to 98 mm
and weigh between 380-835 g. They are a dream combination
for cameras in drone or gimbal configurations. Each lens has a
standardized 80 mm front diameter with a 77 mm screw-in filter
thread. The 0.8 module gear rings allow lens motors and follow
focus systems to work seamlessly.
The Leitz M 0.8 lenses use the Leica M-Mount rather than
a PL-Mount to maintain their small size. Many cameras with
interchangeable mounts or adapters can still use these lenses.
Sony Venice, ARRI Alexa Mini and Amira cameras can use the
M-Mount adapter from Leitz for the cameras. RED cameras can use
the RED interchangeable Leica M-Mount along with mechanically
modified OLPFs available from Leitz. Sony E-mount cameras like
the a7 series can be used with adapters. And the Leica SL camera
can also be used with these lenses.
The M 0.8 line of lenses consists of 7 focal lengts from 21 mm to 90 mm. The lenses use
the high speed full frame M-Mount to maintain their small size while offering a variety
of design improvements to make them more compatible with the cinema production
environment.
