Lens Overview — Leitz 125mm T2.1

The Leitz Cine ELSIE 125mm T2.1 is a prime telephoto cinema lens designed for full-frame cinema and video production. Built around an LPL mount, this lens is engineered for high-end motion picture work where consistency and optical precision are priorities. At T2.1, it offers a bright maximum aperture that supports shooting in lower light conditions while delivering the shallow depth of field that telephoto primes are valued for in cinematic storytelling.

The lens is a prime design, covering a full-frame image format, and operates entirely with manual focus — a standard and preferred approach in professional cinema environments where focus pullers control critical focus with precision. Weighing in at 2.5 kg, it carries the heft expected of a full-frame telephoto cine prime, reflecting robust construction appropriate for demanding production use. The LPL mount is the specified mount configuration for this version of the lens, offering compatibility with cinema camera bodies that accept the LPL standard.

Distance markings are in feet, making this variant well suited for productions operating with footage-based measurements. No image stabilization is present, which is typical for cinema prime lenses where stabilization is generally handled at the camera or rig level.

Key Features — Leitz 125mm T2.1

125mm Telephoto Prime: A dedicated single focal length optimized for cinematic telephoto work, delivering consistent optical performance across shots.

T2.1 Maximum Aperture: Bright maximum aperture enables shooting in lower light conditions and produces shallow depth of field characteristic of telephoto cinema primes.

Full-Frame Coverage: Image circle covers full-frame and large-format cinema sensors, compatible with cameras like the ARRI ALEXA LF and Sony VENICE.

LPL Mount: Modern large positive lock mount provides a secure, precise connection to LPL-compatible cinema cameras with minimal play or flex.

Manual Focus Design: Smooth, precise manual focus ring built for repeatable focus pulls by dedicated focus pullers in professional cinema workflows.

Feet Distance Markings: Imperial measurement scale on the focus ring suits productions and focus pullers working in footage-based measurement environments.
