Description — Leica 25mm T2.0
The Leica Summicron-C 25mm T2.0 is a prime cinema lens designed for full-frame sensor coverage and mounted in the professional PL mount standard. With a fixed 25mm focal length, it sits in the standard focal length range, making it a versatile choice for a broad range of production scenarios from narrative features to documentary work. The T2.0 maximum aperture delivers measured light transmission performance, a critical factor for cinematographers working with precise exposure requirements.
Focus is manual only, consistent with professional cinema production workflows where focus pullers operate calibrated follow-focus systems. Weighing 1,420g, the lens has meaningful mass that operators should account for when configuring handheld or gimbal rigs. The PL mount fitting ensures compatibility with the most widely used professional cinema camera systems in the industry.
As a dedicated cinema prime carrying the Summicron-C designation from Leica, this lens is engineered for the controlled, technically demanding environment of professional film and video production.
