Leitz Leica Format Cine Lenses (not the official name) made a prominent prototype debut at the CVP Lens Bar in BSC Expo. Four focal lengths were shown: 18mm, 21mm, 65mm and 100mm — all T1.8.
The new Leitz lenses were first presented to the world inside an untouchable glass case at IBC. This time the Leitz Leica Format Primes were in hand and on cameras. First impressions: lusciously smooth skin tones, detailed details where you want them–like the eyelashes and eyebrows of the model posing in front of a fairy-light dappled background, beautiful bokeh, gentle depth of field fall-off, harmonious contrast.
More details in the coming weeks.
