The Leica Summicron-C 50mm t/2.0 Prime Lens (S35, PL) is a lens available to rent from Lightbulb Rentals. We supply film, video, and photography productions across New York City, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh with tested, production-ready gear.

Lightbulb Rentals offers the Leica Summicron-C 50mm T/2.0, featuring a durable stainless steel PL mount and providing a compact, lighter alternative to the Summilux-C series. With its 50mm focal length, this lens approximates the perspective of human vision, making it ideal for a wide range of shooting scenarios.

Its small size caters not only to regular production but also to stabilized rigs, aerial cinematography, and stereoscopic 3D capture. The lens projects a usable image circle of 36mm in diameter, compatible with cameras featuring sensors slightly larger than Super 35.

Its consistent T2.0 maximum aperture ensures seamless exposure continuity when switching between Summicron-C lenses. Geared focus and iris control rings are strategically positioned for easy lens swaps without adjusting follow focus or lens control systems.

Featuring an internal focus design, the lens boasts a non-rotating front perfect for clip-on matte boxes. Ample focus marks along dual scales and a 300deg focus rotation facilitate precise focus pulling.

The lens maintains a standard 95mm front diameter across all Summicron-C models, ensuring uniformity in handling and accessories, excluding the 15mm and 135mm variants which share similar weight and length characteristics.

Key specifications include a focal length of 50mm, a maximum aperture of T2.0 (to T22), a lens mount of PL (stainless steel). It also offers a format coverage of Super35 (36mm image circle), a front diameter of 95mm, a iris blades of 8.
