Leitz Hugo LPL Meter T 1.9 - 135mm product description
Legendary Leica M Character
The Leitz Hugo 135mm T1.9 brings the soul of Leica M glass into the demanding world of motion pictures. Named after the visionary engineer Hugo Wehrenfennig, these lenses capture the rich colors, artful flares, and rounded image fields that have defined street photography for decades. The 135mm focal length extends the Hugo series, offering a tight perspective with the unmistakable personality of full-frame Leica optics.
Built for Modern Cinematography
While the glass remains iconic, the housing is entirely new. Designed to match the rigors of professional sets, the Leitz Hugo series features a robust LPL mount and a cine-style orientation for focus and iris scales. With a 270 degree focus rotation, camera assistants gain the precision needed for critical focus pulling, while the significantly improved close-focus capabilities allow for more intimate framing than traditional M-mount lenses.
Technical Excellence and Versatility
Despite their professional build quality, these lenses remain remarkably compact and lightweight. Starting at just 810 grams, they are ideal for handheld work, drones, and gimbal stabilizers. Key features include:
- Full Frame Coverage: Designed to cover large format sensors with ease.
- Swappable Mounts: Compatible with LPL, Leica M, and Leica L mounts for maximum flexibility.
- Consistent Performance: Built to the same high standards as existing Leitz cinematography glass.
- Serviceable Design: Readily available parts and technician training ensure long-term reliability.
The Leitz Hugo 135mm T1.9 is more than just a lens; it is a bridge between the heritage of Leica photography and the future of cinematic storytelling.
