Leica R 19mm F2.8 Elmarit-R V1 lens from the '80s in a very good working condition. 

Rare chance to purchase a cine-ready version of this lens for a reasonable price.

Note: Photos of are the actual lens you will receive. Please inquire for Sony E hard mount options.

Condition details (and see recent photos):
  • Cosmetically: 9/10 light signs of use to the black finish with no damage to the body, mount or hood. The Duclos Cine-mods are brand new.
  • Optically: 8/10 very good, especially for a 19mm v1 lens. The front element looks gorgeous (most are scratched/ scuffed up). Under normal lighting, the rear element looks great too, however upon close inspection under bright light some early coating loss can be detected that should have no discernible effect. Overall much cleaner than most in my experience. The interior is clean for the vintage without fungus, separation, large dusts or oil on the aperture blades.
  • Mechanically: 9/10 Focus runs smooth, consistent and is easy to turn. Aperture/iris has been professionally de-clicked / dampened by Duclos Lenses. Cine-mods are in new working condition. 

Cine-Mods® Include:

1. Focus Gear 
Duclos Lenses 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 Lenses 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 (New)
Custom Optical Brilliance Designed metal front cap includes important info like focal length, speed, series and close focusing distance for each lens. Made from aluminum, it's engineered to absorb impact, and keep your lenses clean & safe. 

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. We use a high-quality lubricant to ensure a professional feel and operation of your lens.

5. Duclos Canon EF/EOS mount 
The mount conversion is 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.

Vintage Character

The rendering style of this early 1980s Leica R version II vintage lens maintains vintage character yet is surprisingly sharp and well-corrected given the age. Wide open, contrast and saturation are light to medium, the center is sharp at all apertures, whereas the edges render slightly softer at larger apertures. The Leica color palette from this vintage is fairly balanced but may lean slightly warmer. The overall image is relatively sharp but maintains a rich Leica character and is prone to exhibit interesting flares, ca and sa effects.
