I put this wonderful Leica R lens set together over a 3 year period and have used them on all my Leica and Arri cameras for 10 years. These 1972-1984 period lenses are right at the hot spot between too clean and too much character with uncontrollable flaring, they are a pleasure to operate with no downside on weight or size, and have a beautiful Leica bokeh. And, of course, they color grade easily to match anything else. This set have all been fully cinevised, with proper steel follow focus rings, 80mm fronts, declicked and I just had brand new Canon EF mounts fitted. The set is built around the amazing 60mm macro lens instead of the more usual blahblah 50mm, which gives really nice steps between focal lengths and more interesting perspectives. I'm retiring from shooting, and will just be editing and color grading from now on, and so I'm selling all of my shoot gear - https://www.clai.tv/CLAi-Equipment-10-25-2023.html for the full list - and I'm based in Monterey, CA.
