Leica M 0.8 90mm T2

Drawn from the rangefinder M 90mm and rehoused for cine, this short telephoto renders with the cool, neutral palette and dense micro-contrast characteristic of the line, holding crisp detail across the frame without tipping into clinical. Out-of-focus areas fall away smoothly behind the subject, giving strong separation at T2, while flare stays disciplined and minimal even with hard sources in frame. The cine housing brings a 270-degree focus throw, standardized gear positions, and consistent front diameter, with an image circle that covers full frame. Best suited to tight coverage and portrait work where you want compact glass that delivers separation and tonal precision rather than overt vintage character.
