LEICA R 100mm F2.8 APO-MACRO-ELMARIT-R Duclos Cine-Mod Canon EF Lens + 5 Custom Caps

The lenses are in top optical/mechanical condition and were professionally QC inspected/tested and cine-serviced to perfection. The Duclos Cine-Mods® & custom front caps are brand new.

9/10 Consmetics: Light signs of visible use/wear to the finish. No dents, dings or scratches to the body, mount or Cine-Mods^®.

8-/10 Optics: Without fungus, haze, separation or oil on the blades. Upon close inspection a couple fine scratches can be found on the elements, which should have no discernible effect. Inside there are typical fine dusts given the vintage.

9/10 Meachanics: Focus movement is very smooth and consistent. Aperture/iris and Cine-Mods^® are in great working order.

All Cine-Mods^® are new and installed by Duclos Lenses out of LA.

This lens is particularly sharp corner to corner. The rendering style of this late 1990s Leica R vintage maintains a more modern Leica look than its predecessors. Wide open, contrast and saturation is medium to high, the center and edges remain sharp at all apertures. The Leica color palette from this vintage is fairly balanced but may lean slightly cooler. The overall image is uncharacteristically sharp for a vintage lens.

1. Focus Gear
Duclos seamless 32-pitch (0,8 module) focus gears are precision machined from solid Black Delrin®, tailored to each lens individually in-house to ensure a no-slip, non-binding reliable fit. Every gear is machined and installed by a skilled technician on an individual basis to ensure a lifetime of accurate operation. No zips, clips, or 3D prints from Duclos Lenses!

2. Front Ring
Duclos front rings thread directly into the existing filter threads of your lens and provide a common 80mm outside diameter surface for clamp-on accessories as well as a 77mm filter thread on each ring. Precision machined from billet 6061 aluminum and anodized black for a durable finish. Available sizes range from a mere 47mm all the way up to an 82mm Step-Down ring.

3. Front Cap
Designed specifically for our 80mm Front Rings, the 80mm Front Caps are made from a durable, protective thermoplastic polymer. Not only do they keep dust and debris away from your precious glass, they're engineered to absorb impact and keep your lenses as safe as possible. The press-on design makes for quick, easy cap replacement and removal while on a bustling set.

4. De-Click / Dampen
Aperture de-clicking is a vital part of the Cine-Mod. A true cinema lens features a step-less aperture that allows fine adjustment without "clicking" between f-stops. Duclos Lenses modifies the aperture movement by removing the "click" mechanism and damping the movement to create a consistent, creamy rotation. They use a high-quality lubricant to ensure a professional feel and operation of your lens.

5. Leitax Canon EF/EOS mount
The Leitax EF mount conversions are made from billet stainless steel to provide a robust, reliable marriage between your lens and camera body. All mount conversions include parts, hardware, installation, and calibration. The installation is carried out by a skilled technician and properly collimated using specialized test equipment.

This set covers most cameras and is optimal for medium to large-sized sensors (i.e. super-35 to full frame). EF hard mounts ensure compatibility with Canon EF/EOS systems, and adaptable to countless others.

Includes 3 months warranty on the lenses (covering normal use) and one year warranty on the Duclos Cine-Mods®.
