Leitz Cine expands the THALIA 65 family of extra-large format lenses with a new ultra-wide 20mm T3.6 focal length. Purpose-built for the needs of 65mm film and digital 65 formats, the 11 focal lengths in the THALIA 65 family offer provide a good option for cinematographers looking to push their images further.

Ranging from 20mm to 180mm, the lenses are based on Leica’s S medium format glass, which is known for its incredible portraiture, rich color, and beautiful skin tones.

The full set of Leitz THALIA 65 primes features three 2:1 macro lenses (24, 55, and 120mm) as well as the unique Thalia-T 90mm, which is inspired by the soft focus, dream-like qualities of the 1930s Leica Thambar lens. With a uniform 95mm front diameter and matched focus/iris ring locations, these lenses are among the smallest and lightest professional lenses for the 65mm format. All the THALIA 65 lenses include /i technology and have swappable mounts between PL and LPL.
Leitz THALIA 65 lenses can be seen in action on many large format productions, including: Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (DP: Philippe Rousselot, ASC, AFC), Lisey’s Story (DP: Darius Khondji, ASC, AFC), The Little Mermaid (DP: Dion Beebe, ASC, ACS), and Radioactive (DP: Anthony Dod Mantle, ASC, BSC, DFF).
