Description — Leica 100mm T2.2 LPL
The Leica THALIA 100mm T2.2 is a prime cinema lens built for full-frame coverage on PL Mount cinema cameras. With a maximum aperture of T2.2, it delivers consistent, measurable light transmission that cinematographers can rely on for precise exposure work across a set of THALIA primes. The 100mm focal length sits in the standard range, making it well-suited to portrait-style framing, medium close-ups, and narrative coverage where controlled depth of field and subject isolation are priorities.
The lens is manual focus only, consistent with professional cinema practice where a focus puller manages focus independently via a follow focus system. Weighing 1.13kg, it is practical for use on fully rigged cinema setups without adding excessive front-end weight. With no image stabilization, the lens is best paired with stable support systems.
The absence of a specified filter thread size should be verified before purchasing filtration accessories for this lens.
