π¬ SMC TAKUMAR 50MM F1.4 CINE-MOD PRIME LENS FOR SONY E-MOUNT
Bring legendary Asahi optical character into a modern cinematography workflow with this Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 50mm F1.4, professionally cine-modified and adapted for Sony E-mount. Famous for its fast aperture, creamy rendering, and warm color response, the Takumar 50/1.4 has long been a favorite among portrait photographers and filmmakers alike. In this cine-modded configuration, it becomes a versatile creative tool for narrative, commercial, and artistic video production. This lens has been fully serviced in our workshop. The optics were carefully inspected, cleaned, and re-lubricated, while the mechanical components were adjusted for smooth, consistent operation. The glass is free from scratches, fog, and fungus. There are minor stains on the glass, however, these do not affect real-world image quality, which is demonstrated in the final sample images included in this listing. The lens has been modified specifically for cinematography and professional video capture. It features dual 0.8-pitch follow focus gears installed on both the focus and aperture rings, enabling precise control with industry-standard follow focus systems. An 80mm outer diameter cine hood has been fitted, making the lens compatible with matte boxes, clamp-on filters, and cine accessories commonly used on set. Front and rear caps are included for safe transport and storage. A key feature of this cine mod is the neutral oval bokeh modification. This spherical modification reshapes out-of-focus highlights into subtle oval forms, creating an anamorphic-style depth and separation while maintaining full image sharpness. The result is a cinematic look reminiscent of anamorphic lenses, without the complexity of de-squeezing footage. Simply apply a 2.35:1 aspect ratio in post-production to achieve a convincing widescreen aesthetic. Optically, the Super-Multi-Coated Takumar is known for its smooth tonal transitions, gentle highlight roll-off, and warm, film-like color rendering. At F1.4, it delivers shallow depth of field with pleasing background separation, making it ideal for portraits, close-ups, and expressive storytelling shots. Stopped down, it offers improved contrast and detail while retaining its classic character. Adapted and calibrated for Sony E-mount, this lens is compatible with Sony mirrorless cameras and can also be used on cinema cameras via E-mount ecosystems. Whether youβre shooting handheld, on a gimbal, or fully rigged, this cine-modded Takumar offers a unique balance of vintage character and modern usability.βοΈ TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
