Description — Leica 25mm T1.4
The Leica Summilux-C 25mm T1.4 is a prime cinema lens purpose-built for Super 35 format digital cinema production. It mounts via a PL Mount, the industry-standard lens mount for professional cinema cameras, and operates entirely with manual focus — exactly as expected in high-end production environments where a focus puller controls critical focus pulls. The maximum aperture of T1.4 provides excellent light-gathering performance, opening up creative possibilities in challenging lighting conditions or when separation from the background is a priority.
At a 25mm focal length within the standard focal length range, this lens delivers a versatile field of view suitable for a wide variety of production scenarios. The front element accepts 95mm filters, accommodating large professional matte boxes and filter systems. Weighing 1.81kg, the lens is solidly built for cinema rigging.
Focus distance is marked in feet, and no image stabilization is included. This is a dedicated Cinema/Video system lens for serious professional use.
