Ernst Leitz Wetzlar GmbH changes name to Leitz Cine GmbH

Oct 1, 2024

Acclaimed cine lens manufacturer Ernst Leitz Wetzlar GmbH has changed its name to Leitz Cine GmbH.

The name change aligns more with the company’s lens brand name “Leitz,” which has become an industry standard over the past 15 years.

All products, production processes, and contact information for the Wetzlar, Germany based company will remain the same.

Leitz Cine GmbH, based in Germany, is one of the world’s leading premium cine lens manufacturers. With the development and production of these high quality, complex optical elements, the company has become one of the industry leaders in premium cinematographic optics within the last decade. Leitz lenses are used in a large number of award-winning films and blockbusters, series and commercials worldwide. These achievements along with the ‘Science and Engineering Award’ from the ‘Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ are both a validation and a challenge to the people at Leitz who continue with the development of high-end future cine lenses with the very same traditional technical precision, exceptional quality awareness and the deep passion for moving images to inspire filmmakers and enable them to realize their unique visions.
