🎬 SMC PENTAX-M 28MM F2.8 CINE-MOD PRIME WIDE-ANGLE LENS FOR CANON EF


Bring classic Asahi optical character into a modern cinematography workflow with this SMC Pentax-M 28mm F2.8, professionally cine-modified and adapted for Canon EF mount. Known for its compact design, strong contrast, and natural color reproduction, this lens has long been appreciated by photographers – and in this cine-modded form, it becomes a powerful creative tool for filmmakers.

This lens has been fully serviced in our workshop. The optical block was carefully inspected, cleaned, and re-lubricated, while all mechanical components were adjusted for smooth, consistent manual operation. The glass is free of scratches, fog, and fungus. Due to the lens’s vintage nature, there is a very minor, almost invisible stain, which does not affect the final image in real-world shooting conditions. The example photos attached to this listing were taken with this exact lens.

The lens has been professionally modified for cinematography and video production. Dual 0.8-pitch follow focus gears are installed on both the focus and aperture rings, allowing precise, repeatable control with industry-standard follow focus systems. An 80 mm outer-diameter cine hood has been fitted, making the lens fully compatible with matte boxes and clamp-on filters. Front and rear caps are included for safe storage and transport.

A key feature of this cine modification is the neutral oval bokeh effect. This spherical modification subtly reshapes out-of-focus highlights into oval forms, creating an anamorphic-style depth and separation without the complexity of true anamorphic optics. No de-squeeze is required – simply add 2.35:1 black bars in post-production to achieve a convincing widescreen cinematic look.

Optically, the SMC Pentax-M 28mm delivers a classic wide-angle perspective with controlled distortion and balanced contrast. It covers full-frame sensors and works equally well on APS-C cameras, making it a flexible option across different Canon EF bodies and cinema cameras. Color rendering is natural and film-like, with smooth tonal transitions that blend beautifully with other vintage cine lenses.

Adapted and calibrated for Canon EF mount, this lens can be used on Canon DSLR and cinema cameras, as well as EF-mount cinema systems and mirrorless cameras via EF adapters. Whether mounted on a gimbal, handheld rig, or full cinema setup, this cine-modded Pentax offers dependable performance and authentic vintage character.
