Description — Leitz 90mm T2.2
The Leitz Cine THALIA-T 90mm T2.2 is a prime cinema lens designed for large format coverage and built around the PL Mount, making it a natural fit for professional cinema camera systems used in high-end film and video production. With a fixed 90mm focal length in the standard range, it is well-suited to portraiture, medium shots, and detail work where consistent optical rendering is essential. The maximum aperture of T2.2 — rated as a calibrated T-stop for accurate exposure control — gives cinematographers reliable light transmission data for consistent exposures across a lens set.
Weighing 1043.3g, the lens has a robust cinema-grade build while remaining practical for rigged camera setups. Focus is entirely manual, with no autofocus or image stabilization, placing it squarely in traditional cinema production workflows operated by professional camera crews. The 95mm filter thread allows direct mounting of front filters for optical effects or light control without requiring a matte box filter stage.
