Description — Leitz 50mm T1.0
The Leitz Cine HUGO-N 50mm T1.0 is a cine-type prime lens built around a Leica M mount and designed for full-frame cinema and video applications. Its standout specification is the T1.0 maximum aperture, which delivers exceptional light transmission — an important attribute for cinematographers working in challenging lighting conditions or seeking a shallow depth of field aesthetic. At 50mm, this lens occupies the standard focal length range, offering a natural perspective that suits a broad variety of production styles.
The lens is manual focus only, in keeping with the precise, deliberate focus pulling workflows standard in professional cinema environments. Image stabilization is not included, making it best suited for use with stabilized support systems. The 95mm filter thread supports a full range of professional cinema filtration. With a weight of 800g, the HUGO-N has the heft expected of a professional-grade optic.
This lens is a strong match for cinematographers operating in the Cinema / Video camera system space who require a fast, fixed-focal-length prime with full-frame coverage in Leica M mount.
