Description — Leica 100mm T2.0
The Leica Summicron-C 100mm T2.0 is a dedicated prime cinema lens built for full-frame professional cinematography. Operating at a fixed 100mm focal length in the telephoto range, it excels in subject isolation and close-up coverage. The T2.0 maximum aperture provides meaningful light-gathering capability for demanding lighting conditions.
Mounted in the PL Mount, it integrates directly into professional cinema camera ecosystems without adapters. The lens is manual focus only, with no autofocus, placing focus control entirely in the hands of the camera team — the preferred approach for scripted narrative and high-end production work. With no image stabilization, it is designed to be paired with stabilized support rigs or locked-off camera setups.
Covering a full-frame image circle, it is compatible with the largest sensor formats available in cinema cameras today. The lens weighs 1,600g, reflecting a robust professional build. For cinematographers building or completing a Summicron-C prime set, the 100mm T2.0 delivers a reliable telephoto option with consistent cine-standard ergonomics and control.
