Leica's cinema division — Summilux-C, Hugo, M0.8. Leica micro-contrast meets cinema mechanics.

Leitz Cine (Wetzlar, Germany) transfers Leica's legendary photo optics quality to the cinema sector. The Summilux-C T1.4 is the benchmark for full-frame primes with the unmistakable Leica rendering: high micro-contrast, three-dimensional depth, creamy bokeh.
