It employs the same robust, cam-based focus system as the rest of their conversions. If you’ve tried any of the TLS rehoused lenses, you know what to expect with the new Leica R project. Cinescope saw this opportunity and jumped on it. They had put into their Kowa, Super Baltar, Canon K35, and Cooke Speed Panchro rehousing could easily be ported over to accommodate the Leica R primes. Cinescope teamed up with TLS in the UK to bring a proper, robust cine-style housing to the Leica R primes. Since the DSLR Revolution the Leica R primes have been the pinnacle of quality hybrid photo-cine prime lenses. Aluminium alloy, stainless steel, brass and robust construction guarantees along serviceable life A major selling point is that due to the complete redesign of the lens, all the lenses have an improved close focus. The benefit of zero backlash and image shift give accurate dual focus scales that repeat on direction and change with the cam drive system, giving a wide spread of markings through the scale. Also have been designed a cam driven focus system and chassis style lens housing allow matte boxes and other accessories to be attached to the front of the lens without affecting focus movements. Most of the lenses even cover the new Vista Vision sensor.
CINESCOPE LENSES FULL
These Leica R lenses have full frame coverage 36mm x 24mm, making the vast image circle cover almost all cameras and sensors. With over 300 degrees of focus rotation, zero backlash, and improved close focus, this collection of rehoused lenses offers professionals the warm colors and smooth bokeh of the original signature Leica glass that have made Leica Rs so highly regarded. Now in robust, cine-style bodies, these full frame lenses can cover the 36mm x 24mm full frame sensors in the Red 8K Monstro and Sony Venice. Leica Elmarit R Macro 100mm | T2.Rehoused by TLS, the original glass of this set is comprised of vintage Leica R Summilux and Elmarit still lenses.

CINESCOPE LENSES FREE
UK customers can also take advantage of 0% interest free for 2 years with 0% deposit. The good news with the Cinescope conversions is that they are saying that they can take as little as 4-6 weeks. If you’ve ever ordered a custom lens conversion from TLS in the past you’ll know that they can take a long time as they usually have a long wait list. The lenses need to be purchased from Cinescope exclusively and cannot be ordered directly from TLS.
CINESCOPE LENSES MOD
Focus and iris are silky smooth and both have standard 0.8 mod pitch gears. In the hand, the lenses I saw felt every bit as good as a shiny new Cooke or top end Zeiss cine optic. The Cinescope R lenses are not cheap, costing more than other Leica R rehousing options available, but that’s mainly because the quality of the work TLS do is second to none. Users will also be able to supply their own R lenses for conversion but the price for this service has not yet been given. For that price you do get a custom metal lens case and a free mechanical service of the lenses after 12 months. Not only that, but you need to order at least a set of six. Each converted lens is hand built and costs between £6000 and £7500, including the base lens. Currently the only mount available is PL. The new conversions are available for 11 different Leica R primes, from 19mm up to 135mm. Bokeh on most of the lenses is very smooth and a quick search of Vimeo or Youtube will bring up plenty of examples of what they are capable of. They have signature look with excellent micro contrast, warm colours and full-frame coverage. Leica R stills lenses have grown in popularity with cine shooters over the years. You may not have heard of them, but if you follow this site frequently then you’ll know TLS, the British lens experts who are actually performing the conversions for Cinescope.
Cinema shooters looking for the vintage qualities of Leica R stills lenses now have a new cine conversion option from a UK company called Cinescope.
