Description — Leica 24mm T3.6
The Leitz Cine THALIA 24mm T3.6 is a prime cinema lens designed for professional digital movie cameras, built around the industry-standard PL Mount. Covering a full frame image circle, this wide-angle lens delivers a fixed 24mm perspective with a maximum aperture of T3.6. It is engineered specifically for the Cinema / Video camera system and carries no image stabilization, consistent with cinema prime lens design philosophy where stability is managed through rigging and support systems on set.
Manual focus is the sole focus mode, placing precise focus control in the hands of a skilled focus puller using standard follow-focus equipment. The lens features a 95mm filter thread for front-mounted filtration and tips the scale at 3.1 lb, making it a substantial but production-ready tool. As a member of the Leitz Cine THALIA family, the 24mm T3.6 is positioned for large-format and full-frame productions where optical consistency, build quality, and lens character are primary considerations for the cinematographer and rental house alike.
