Lens OverviewLeica 120mm T2.6

The Leitz Cine THALIA 120mm T2.6 is a large format prime lens built for professional digital cinema production. Mounted on a PL Mount, it is designed to pair with cinema cameras operating in the Cinema / Video camera system, making it broadly compatible across a wide range of professional PL-equipped rigs. At 120mm, it sits firmly in telephoto territory, and its maximum aperture of T2.6 delivers a solid light-gathering capability for a lens of this focal length and format coverage.

Classified as a large format lens, the THALIA 120mm is engineered to cover sensors beyond the standard Super 35 frame, opening up creative possibilities on larger sensor cinema cameras. It is a manual focus prime — there is no autofocus — which is entirely appropriate for a lens designed for controlled, cinema-style production environments where follow focus systems are the norm. Weighing in at 1,676g, it carries the expected mass of a large format cine prime, though it remains manageable for rigged camera builds.

Image stabilization is absent, consistent with the expectations of a lens in this category. The THALIA 120mm represents a deliberate, optically focused tool for cinematographers who prioritize large format coverage and manual control.

Key FeaturesLeica 120mm T2.6

120mm Telephoto Prime: Fixed focal length delivers a precise telephoto perspective with no optical compromises introduced by a zoom mechanism.

Large Format Coverage: Engineered to cover sensors beyond Super 35, making it compatible with large format cinema cameras such as the ARRI ALEXA LF, RED MONSTRO, and similar platforms.

T2.6 Maximum Aperture: Solid light transmission for a large format telephoto prime, supporting controlled depth of field and usable exposure in lower light conditions.

PL Mount: Industry-standard cinema mount ensures broad compatibility with professional camera systems from ARRI, RED, Sony, and others.

Manual Focus Design: Smooth, cinema-standard manual focus ring is built for use with follow focus systems and lens control units on professional rigs.

Consistent Lens Geometry: The THALIA series is designed with matched front diameters and gear positions across focal lengths, simplifying lens changes on set.

DescriptionLeica 120mm T2.6

The Leitz Cine THALIA 120mm T2.6 is a Large Format, PL Mount prime lens designed for professional cinema and video production. With a fixed focal length of 120mm placing it in the telephoto range, this manual focus prime delivers a precise, dedicated perspective suited to portrait work, compression, and controlled telephoto cinematography. Its T2.6 maximum aperture ensures solid light transmission in a large format optical package.

As a manual focus lens with no autofocus capability, it is built for production environments where lens control systems and follow focus setups handle focus pulls with precision. The lens connects via PL Mount, the standard interface across a wide range of professional cinema cameras operating in the Cinema / Video camera system category. Weighing 1,676g, it is a substantial piece of glass that performs best on a fully rigged camera build. Image stabilization is not present, so support infrastructure is essential at this focal length.

No filter thread size is listed in specifications.

ProsLeica 120mm T2.6

  • Large format lens classification enables coverage of sensors beyond Super 35, offering expanded framing options
  • Maximum aperture of T2.6 provides meaningful light transmission at a 120mm focal length
  • PL Mount provides broad compatibility with professional cinema camera systems

ConsLeica 120mm T2.6

  • No autofocus support (focusType: Manual only), which limits use in run-and-gun or documentary-style shoots without a dedicated focus puller
  • No image stabilization (imageStabilization: None), requiring stable rigs or support systems at this focal length
  • No filter thread size listed, which may complicate direct filter attachment without additional matte box accessories
