Description — Leica 75mm T2.0 PL
The Leica Summicron-C 75mm T2.0 is a prime cinema lens built for professional Cinema / Video productions. It mounts via the PL Mount, the benchmark standard in digital cinematography, and is optimized for the Super 35 sensor format. The maximum aperture of T2.0 delivers consistent, measurable light transmission — the T-stop rating is critical for maintaining exposure reliability when cutting between lenses on set.
Focal length is fixed at 75mm, placing it in the standard focal length range, well suited to close-up and mid-range framing with natural perspective rendering. Focus is entirely manual, aligning with professional cine workflow where a dedicated focus puller operates the lens. The lens weighs 1,250g and accepts 95mm front filters, and there is no image stabilization built in.
With no zoom mechanism to manage, the optical path remains dedicated to delivering prime-level image quality on the PL Mount platform.
