The Leitz Cine Prime 25mm Lens (Feet, LPL Mount) is designed to cover large-format sensors, including the full VistaVision frame, while delivering the renowned Leitz optical quality known for rich contrast, natural color reproduction, and exceptional sharpness. Featuring a stainless steel LPL mount, this lens is fully compatible with ARRI ALEXA LF and LF Mini cameras and offers a 46.5mm image circle for complete sensor coverage.
With a fast T1.8 maximum aperture—consistent across the Leitz Prime lineup (except for the 180mm)—you can maintain uniform exposure when intercutting between lenses. The 25mm lens incorporates industry-standard geared focus and iris control rings that share identical positions across the series, ensuring seamless lens changes without needing to reposition accessories or follow focus systems. Built with precision and durability in mind, the Leitz Prime 25mm is a versatile and robust choice for high-end cinema productions seeking cinematic depth and clarity.
The lens features an internal focus design with a durable cam-follower mechanism which provides the lens with a non-rotating front, perfect for clip-on matte boxes. A generous number of focus marks are distributed along the focus scales, and 270° of focus rotation makes for accurate focus pulls. The 114mm diameter front is standard across the set of lenses, which also speeds up lens changes when working with a matte box.
- The modern lens design, as well as the cine manufacturing process and tight tolerances, ensure low distortion, high resolution, and excellent color rendition.
- The 15-blade iris provides an extremely smooth circular iris, for a natural-looking bokeh.
- The 270° of focus rotation allows for extremely accurate focus marks and focus pulls.
- Consistency in front diameter, shared focus, and iris ring position from lens to lens in the series allows for faster lens changes requiring less adjustment of matte boxes and lens accessories.
- A built-in lens support foot takes the strain off the lens mount, helping to keep the lens in optimal image-taking condition.
