Description — Leitz 90mm f/2.0 M-Mount
The Leitz Cine 90mm f/2.0 is a prime telephoto cinema lens designed for full-frame digital cinema cameras. Built around a PL Mount, it connects directly to professional cinema camera bodies without adapters, fitting seamlessly into established cinema production rigs. The maximum aperture of f/2.0 delivers meaningful light-gathering performance for a telephoto focal length, giving cinematographers flexibility in controlled and lower-light shooting conditions.
At 90mm, this fixed focal length covers portrait, medium-telephoto, and close-subject framing with consistency and no zoom breathing. The lens is manual focus only, aligning with standard cinema practice where follow-focus systems and dedicated focus pullers manage critical focus work. A 77mm filter thread makes it straightforward to pair with common matte boxes and filter accessories used on professional cinema rigs.
At 605g, the lens is compact enough for weight-sensitive applications while remaining solidly built for the demands of professional production environments.
