Leitz Cine Thalia 100mm T2.2 (ft) Overview
Covers up to 65mm Sensors
THALIA 65 lenses offer a large image circle that covers sensors up to the ARRI ALEXA 65, but can also be used to create equally stunning images on full frame, VistaVision, and Super 35 sensors and film stocks.
Depth and Dimension
Images captured with the THALIA 65 lenses can appear to have an added depth and dimension, especially on larger sensors, due to a gradual focus falloff curve. Rather than even, flat layers of focus across the frame, the THALIA 65 lenses have a sharp and focused center with gradual and pleasing falloff of contrast and light towards the edges, leading the view to the image center as well as adding dimension to the scene. This differs from most images created with modern lenses.
Film Look
While the THALIA 65 lenses are not technically vintage lenses, they do offer many of the image characteristics that have driven cinematographers to pair older lenses with digital sensors. They are clear without being overly sharp, and focus is smooth and forgiving without looking soft. Skin tones are natural and even with accurate color rendition.
Cinematic Bokeh
The innovative 15-blade iris design of the THALIA 65 lenses maintains a circular iris through all aperture stops, creating a cinematic bokeh that comes alive with character. Out-of-focus elements maintain their structure, which further adds to the sense of dimension in the image.
