The Leica building complex in Wetzlar is an artistic homage to the world of optics. Grey exposed concrete dominates from a distance, but upon closer inspection, intricate details are revealed. The building shapes are artfully designed, reminiscent of binoculars and a lens, while windows become viewfinders – an impressive testament to Leica's characteristic attention to detail.
Over time, Leica lenses have not only produced some of the most impressive photographs, but filmmakers have also captured captivating cinematic scenes with them. Leitz Cine film lenses, as an integral part of the Cine 1, continue to set the standard for the highest optical quality in cinematography.
Leica's history, from legendary photographs to conquering the film world and developing state-of-the-art projectors, reaches another pinnacle with the Cine 1. This step into the world of home cinema allows enthusiasts and cinephiles to experience the unmistakable Leica look right in their living room.
The concept of the Cine 1 series falls into the category of ultra-short-throw projectors, characterized by their ability to be placed very close to the screen. Equipped with a Leica Summicron lens, the Cine 1, depending on the variant, can produce an image with a width of approximately 175, 220, or 260 cm.
Among Leica connoisseurs, the term "Summicron" is certainly well-known – lenses that can capture a lot of light with an aperture of 2.0. Image generation is carried out by a Full HD DLP chip, which achieves full 4K resolution through sequential pixel shifting.
You should see it with your own eyes: With the Cine 1, Leica enters the world of home cinema, and we cordially invite you to enjoy this experience with us. Come on by.
