🎬 CARL ZEISS JENA BIOMETAR 80MM F2.8 – CINE-MOD PRIME PORTRAIT LENS (ARRI PL)


This is a classic Carl Zeiss Jena Biometar 80mm F2.8 that has been professionally cine-modded for cinematography and professional video production. The Biometar is prized for its natural Zeiss contrast, smooth highlight roll-off, and flattering portrait perspective, now converted into a cinema-ready tool with standardized controls for rigs, matte boxes, and follow-focus work.

Cine-mod features on this lens:

• ARRI PL mount adaptation for professional cinema cameras and PL-ready adapters

• 2x cine follow focus gears: one on the focus ring + one on the aperture ring for fast, precise control

• 80mm OD cine front for quick matte box compatibility

• Cine lens hood included with 77mm front filter thread (use ND / diffusion / effect filters easily)

• Fully manual focus + manual iris for repeatable, controlled shots

Glass / optical condition:

Glass is free of serious scratches, fog, and fungus. Due to vintage age, there may be minor cosmetic wear on the glass/coating (light cleaning marks, coating wear/stain, etc.). These will not affect the final image in real-world shooting.

Body / mechanical condition:

Normal wear marks consistent with age. This does not affect operation. Cine-mod components are solid and ready for production use. Please review photos for cosmetic details.
