Advertisement Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Hi Steve Ricoh, Take a look here M mount lenses available in Cine form. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
luigi bertolotti Posted June 17, 2019 Share #2  Posted June 17, 2019 Seems they were pre-announced 2 or 3 years ago... I'm not expert in the cine gear, so don't understand well the difference from the current Leica cine lenses (Summilux C and Summicron C) which have been available for some years (and still today , I think) : has it a sense to have cine lenses with M mount ? Don't professional cine cameras use other standard mounts ?    Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernardC Posted June 17, 2019 Share #5 Â Posted June 17, 2019 I think the news is that they are now stock items at B&H. The M 0.8 line was announced a few years back, but I think they were special-order only. The difference between these lenses and the Cine lenses is that these ones are based on M lenses and have minimal modifications for cine use. Because of their small size they are easier to use remotely (crane, gimbal, Steadycam, handheld). They also have the M look that is different from Leica's cine offerings. The downside is that they aren't standardized like most cine lenses: the aperture and focus gears don't match-up from lens to lens, and they don't have standard fronts for matte boxes. They also use M mounts, which aren't convertible to some cine cameras like the Canon C-n00, or to PL-mount cameras that don't have interchangeable mounts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
