Leitz Hugo Lenses

Ready for Cinematography

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 50 mm T1.0 lens, based on the fabled Leica Noctilux, rounds out the set with its complimentary but unique character.

The Leitz HUGO lenses encapsulate the Leica M optics in a completely new housing design with a build quality to match the uncompromising durability and flexibility of existing Leitz cinematography lenses. They are available in swappable LPL or L mount. Other mechanical improvements include a traditional cine orientation of focus and iris scales with matched locations for quick lens changes, expanded 270° rotation of focus scales, and greatly increased close focusing. They remain incredibly compact and lightweight starting at 1.78 lbs / .81 kg, and between 2.7 – 4.4” (68 – 112 mm) in length with 95 mm front diameters.
