Leica M 0.8 lenses, iconic look, inspired character
The Leica M 0.8 lenses feature a smooth iris rotation and larger 0.8 module / 32 pitch gear rings for focus and iris, allowing them to work seamlessly with traditional cine accessories. For this series the five fastest lenses in each focal length were selected. They will be available individually or as a set and include:
- 24mm f/1.4
- 28mm f/1.4
- 35mm f/1.4
- 50mm f/0.95 Noctilux
The unrivaled compact size and weight of the Leica M 0.8 lenses opens up new opportunities for use on drones, gimbals and other compact camera rigs. Designed for full frame (24x36mm) sensors and film stocks, the M 0.8 lenses cover larger sensors like RED’s Dragon 8K VistaVision, Sony a7 series and the Leica SL, while smaller sensor cameras will benefit from using more of the sweet spot of the lens.
