product details
The Summicron-C series offers cinematic precision and high-quality Leitz performance in compact form. With a maximum aperture of T2.0, these affordable full frame lenses balance sharpness, contrast, and portability. Their design ensures consistency across focal lengths, simplifying post workflows. A popular choice when shooting with Super35+ sensors such as the RED Dragon 8K or Alexa Open Gate 3.4k, they feature a purely spherical design and (except for the 15mm and 40mm) do not employ aspherical elements like the Summilux-C lenses. They are valued for practicality without sacrificing cinematic feel. The set includes 12 focal lengths from 15mm to 135mm, and a 180mm telephoto companion, available exclusively at Cine Visuals, can augment the set. Available to rent or sub-rent from Cine Visuals in full sets, partial sets, or as single lenses.

Leitz Summicron-C
Image Fidelity & Focus
Summicron-Cs provide high resolution with smooth, natural rendering. They are sharp without being clinical, maintaining pleasing skin tones and cinematic falloff. Contrast is balanced, avoiding harshness. Skin tones remain soft and smooth while hard edges and fine details retain contrast. Images are detailed yet organic, with smooth tonal roll-off and authentic, yet pleasing color reproduction, natural focus transitions and โcreamy sharpnessโ that captures everything from actors to architecture with true representation.
Handling & Adaptability
Leitz Summicron-C Primes are 30% smaller and 20% lighter than the Summilux while maintaining the same premium look and feel, making them well suited for handheld, Steadicam, gimbal and drone cinematography. They are color-matched to the Summilux lenses, and are designed to be used in conjunction with them. PL mount.
Flare & Bokeh
Flares are controlled and subtle, producing elegant veiling when provoked. Bokeh is soft, rounded and natural, with consistently neutral rendering across the set. Chromatic aberration is minimal.
Image Circle
With a 36mm image circle, Leitz Summicron-C Primes offer Super 35+ coverage.
Cinematic Heritage
Developed to complement the high-speed Summilux-Cs and released in 2013, the Summicron-Cs were aimed at productions that donโt require T1.4 speed but value compactness and affordability. They quickly became popular in commercials, television, and independent cinema. Notable credits include Mr. Robot, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, The Terminal List, and Ozark.
