The Leica Summilux-C lenses arrive at Movietech

Independent camera, lens and grip specialist, Movietech has introduced the Leica Summilux-C range of lenses to its hire inventory. Featuring 11 focal lengths from 16mm to 100mm, at T1.4 the Summilux-C PL mount primes are among the fastest modern lens sets currently available. With superb resolution and high contrast ratios the lenses present clear, highly-accurate images with industry-leading flat field illumination, free from distortion or flare.

Incorporating Leica’s multi-aspheric design and high-precision cine lens mechanics, these lenses match well with celluloid. However, the range also delivers high-quality results when used with digital image capture systems. At 142mm long they also allow for significantly smaller, lighter camera packages and rigs.

Speaking about the lenses, Movietech managing director John Buckley said “Compact, sharp and fast, these Leicas have already proven popular, particularly with our commercials clients and on jobs where camera assistants need to make quick changes. Not too harsh, balanced illumination and perfectly engineered, these are amongst the finest primes we’ve ever seen”
