Description — Leica 50mm T2.0
The Leica Summicron-C 50mm T2.0 is a prime cinema lens designed for professional film and video production. It features a PL mount, the de facto standard for professional cinema cameras, and is built to cover full-frame sensors, making it suitable for modern large-format digital cinema workflows. With a maximum aperture of T2.0 — a calibrated T-stop for consistent exposure matching across a lens set — it delivers reliable light transmission data that is essential on multi-lens productions.
The focal length is fixed at 50mm, placing it squarely in the standard focal length range and making it a go-to choice for a wide variety of scenes. Focus is manual, in keeping with professional cinema lens conventions, and there is no image stabilization, with external support solutions expected as part of the production setup. At 1600g, the lens has a solid, professional-grade build.
The filter thread size is not specified, so confirming filter compatibility with the manufacturer before use is advisable.
