Leitz Hugo LPL Feet T1.5 - 28 mm product description
The Spirit of Leica M in Motion
The Leitz Hugo 28mm T1.5 cine lens brings the legendary character of Leica M glass to the world of professional cinematography. Named after Hugo Wehrenfennig, the engineer behind the iconic M bayonet, these lenses are designed to be small, fast, and lightweight. The 28mm focal length offers a versatile wide-angle perspective, perfect for capturing immersive scenes with the full personality and character at capture that only Leica optics can provide.
Legendary Glass, Modern Housing
Building on the success of the M 0.8 series, the Leitz Hugo lenses utilize the same Leica M optics but feature a completely redesigned housing. This new build quality matches existing Leitz cinematography standards, offering a native LPL mount and traditional cine orientation for focus and iris scales. The 28mm T1.5 delivers rich colors, artful flares, and a rounded image field that has been a staple of visual storytellers for decades.
Built for Professional Cinematography
Engineered for flexibility on set, the Leitz Hugo 28mm features expanded focus scales with a 270 degree rotation, allowing for precise adjustments. Despite its robust build, the lens remains incredibly compact, with weights starting at just 1.78 lbs (0.81 kg). Key features include:
- High-speed T1.5 aperture for exceptional low-light performance.
- Greatly increased close focus ability for intimate detail shots.
- Interchangeable mount system compatible with Leica M and L mounts.
- Consistent form factor across the series for efficient lens changes.
With readily available parts and a design focused on longevity, the Leitz Hugo series ensures reliable performance for years to come, bridging the gap between classic photography aesthetics and modern motion picture requirements.
