MORE INFO

We have one of the most complete collections of rehoused Leica R primes available anywhere, from 19mm all the way to 135mm, all with Full Frame coverage. We have two complete matched sets.

By now Leica R primes are well known for their quality and character. They deliver images that are sharp and well-corrected, but still very flattering on your subject, and they flare beautifully. The lenses have been completely rehoused by GL Optics. GL also replaced the original irises with 14-blade irises that stay perfectly circular when stopped down, giving the lenses extremely smooth bokeh at any T stop.

IMPORTANT: these are GL Optics LATEST 4th GENERATION housings, which are superior to their old housings in every way. They are lighter, have smoother mechanics, and are more reliable than their predecessors. The lenses have 330 degree focus throw, 95mm fronts, PL mounts, and matching gear positions. GL improved close focus on almost every focal length, so nearly every lens focuses unbelievably close. These are professional cinema lenses ready for demanding productions.

Also, only the GL Optics MK-IV housings cover Full Frame without vignetting on all focal lengths. These lenses cover Full Frame Sensors like ARRI Alexa LF, Alexa Mini LF, Sony Venice, RED Raptor, Canon C500MKII, and Sony FX-9. Be mindful of older GL housings, many of which vignette or porthole on the 19mm, 24mm, and 28mm. Those were designed years ago for Super 35 coverage. That is not the case with our sets.
