We rent the Leitz / Leica Elsie Full Frame Prime 7 Lens Set at Stray Angel Films.
The Leitz Elsie lenses are purpose-built for cinematography with character-rich, beyond full frame performance to serve a broad range of productions. They exhibit a gentle fall off of focus, resolution, and illumination toward the edges of the frame that draws the viewer’s attention toward the subject creating a dimensional feel that is more pronounced than the lenses in our Performance series, but more subtle than the more extreme lenses in our Legacy series. Their warm color temperature makes sure that talent looks beautiful and colors remain accurate.
The Elsie lenses offer cinematographers a look with personality, but without getting boxed into something too intense or limiting in scope. While the lenses can exhibit dynamic lenticular flares wide open, they can be controlled easily by stopping down so that scenes with windows and hot practical sources are easily manageable.
They exhibit a relatively high contrast which combines with their unique focus fall off to create separation that gives the appearance of a faster lens without the drawbacks of working at an ultra-fast aperture. The bokeh quality was fine-tuned in conjunction with Leica Camera to be smooth yet maintain structure to out-of-focus elements that maintains a sense of place without sacrificing the feeling of depth, separation, and dimensionality.
Designed from the ground up to be cinematography lenses, the Leitz Elsie primes feature many of the technical attributes expected from professional lenses. Available only in LPL mount and including /i metadata, the large set of 13 primes from 15mm to 150mm are all T2.1 and come in consistent sizes with matched focus and iris ring positions for quick lens changes. The Leitz Zooms make an ideal pairing when looking for companion zoom lenses.
The lenses feature a noticeable but gradual falloff of resolution and illumination as the image approaches the corners to create a dimensional pop that gently draws the viewer‘s eye toward the center of the frame. The Leitz Zooms make an excellent companion for the Elsie primes in both image look and feel.
This set includes 21/25/35/40/50/75/100mm T2.1 LPL Mount Full Frame Prime lenses.
