Three new Leitz HUGO II cinema lenses announced

By LR admin | Published: September 11, 2024


Leitz Cine announces three new Leitz HUGO II cinema lenses:

The HUGO II lenses are named for their slower apertures. They are an addition to the already existing ten HUGO I focal lengths:

The Leitz HUGO lenses are designed to be small, fast, lightweight and as close focusing as possible with the full character of the Leica M lens glass creating character at capture. The set of 13 full frame lenses ranges from 18 mm to 135 mm. The HUGO I series, 9 lenses from 18-135 mm, are T1.5. The HUGO II series adds 3 focal lengths at T2.1 at the long end for smaller size/weight options as well as slightly different looks. The 50mm T1.0 lens rounds out the set with its complimentary but unique character. ⁠
