SUMMICRON-C
Character
Premium prime lenses designed for larger sensors on film and television productions.
“In testing the ARRI Alexa LF camera for Raising Dion I saw that the large image circle of the Leitz SUMMICRON-C lenses actually covered the LF sensor in 2:1 and fell in love with the falloff in the corners. They were sharper and cleaner in the center without being harsh on skin tones, and then in a very natural way fell off on a sensor that those lenses were never designed to cover.”
Armando Salas, ASC
Cinematic Images
SUMMICRON-C lenses offer authentic color rendition, natural focus transitions and fall off, and a creamy sharpness that captures everything from actresses to architecture with a humane and true representation. Skin tones remain soft and smooth while hard edges and fine details retain their contrast, which makes these one of the most versatile sets of cine lenses available.
The Set
The SUMMICRON-C cine lenses are comprised of 11 focal lengths from 15 mm to 135 mm.
Aperture
The T2.0 SUMMICRON-C prime lenses are built with high ASA/ISO digital cameras in mind, offering plenty of depth of field and performance while maintaining a compact size.
Focusing
The biggest complaint about 35 mm cinema lenses has always been their large size intended to accommodate a focus ring with more witness marks.
The SUMMILUX-C lenses feature a patented focusing mechanism that eschews the logarithmic focusing of the past by expanding the focus scale in the most critical range.
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.
Enlarged "Super 35"
Digital camera sensors are getting physically larger and the SUMMICRON-C lenses are ready to perform. Each lens offers an image circle wider than 35mm in diameter, big enough to easily cover sensors from RED Helium 8K S35 and GEMINI 5K S35, Sony and ARRI Alexa f 16:9 mode formats without performance loss in the corners or vignetting.
