🎬 HOYA HMC WIDE-AUTO 28MM F2.8 CINE MOD PRIME LENS FOR NIKON F (AI) MOUNT!


Vintage, manual-focus wide-angle prime that’s been set up specifically for cinematography and professional video capturing work. If you’re building a compact cine prime set, upgrading a photo lens for reliable rig use, or you simply want a classic wide-angle with natural perspective and vintage character, this 28mm is a smart and practical choice.

This lens has been Cine-Modded for video workflow, meaning it’s no longer “just a stills lens.” It’s been configured to integrate smoothly into a cinema rig setup and work comfortably with a follow focus system. The key feature here is the follow focus gear installed on the focus ring, giving you precise focusing control and repeatable focus pulls. That makes it far easier to work with marks, maintain consistent rack-focus moves, and keep your setup stable on rods without slipping or uneven grip. Whether you’re shooting handheld, tripod, slider, or gimbal, having a geared focus ring is one of those upgrades that immediately makes a vintage prime feel like a purpose-built cinema tool.

Optically Hoya HMC Wide-Auto series is known for a clean, pleasing vintage look that doesn’t feel overly “wild” or unpredictable. You get a believable film-style rendering with smooth transitions and a classic wide prime – great for establishing shots, interiors, documentary work, travel filmmaking, environmental portraits, and narrative scenes where you want a wider view without extreme distortion. 28mm focal length is also extremely useful for run-and-gun situations, allowing you to stay close to your subject while keeping context in the frame.

Glass condition is excellent: the optics are free of scratches, fog/haze, and fungus, so you can shoot with confidence and maintain strong contrast and clarity. Lens body condition is good, with no issues that affect operation or usability – ready to go straight onto your camera or adapter setup.

To complete the cinema-ready package, this offer includes an 80mm OD cine lens hood (with 77mm filter thread). The 80mm outside diameter helps with a more consistent front profile for matte box compatibility and rig organization, while the 77mm thread makes it easy to use common filters (ND, mist, diffusion, polarizers) without hassle. This is ideal if you’re building a rig where speed, consistency, and repeatable setup matter.

This lens is Nikon F (Ai) mount, which is popular in the filmmaking world because it adapts well to many mirrorless camera systems. It’s a flexible choice for creators who use multiple bodies or want to keep their lens kit adaptable.

If you’re looking for a wide prime that’s compact, cinema-friendly, and ready for real shooting conditions, this Hoya 28mm F2.8 Cine Mod belongs on your shortlist – simple, effective, and built to work.
