🎬 ROLLEI HFT PLANAR 50MM F1.8 SL VINTAGE CINE MOD PRIME PORTRAIT LENS FOR LEICA
L

A beautifully rebuilt vintage prime for filmmakers who want classic full-frame character with practical cine usability. This Rollei HFT Planar 50mm F1.8 SL has been fully cleaned, adjusted, and re-lubricated, then carefully adapted and adjusted for Leica L mount for cinematography and professional video capture work. It covers full frame sensors, making it a strong choice for Leica L cameras as well as compatible cinema setups using the L-mount ecosystem.

This lens delivers the sought-after Planar-style rendering with strong subject separation, natural contrast, smooth transitions, and a refined vintage look that works especially well for portraits, narrative filmmaking, interviews, music videos, and commercial work. The fast F1.8 aperture gives you excellent low-light flexibility and pleasing background separation, while the vintage optical signature adds character that modern clinical lenses often lack.

For practical cine use, this lens features 2 follow focus gears for precise control of both focus and aperture, allowing smoother operation with follow focus systems and making it far more production-friendly than a standard stills lens. The included 80mm OD cine lens hood also helps integrate the lens into professional rigs and matte-box-friendly workflows.

Optically, the glass is in good condition, free of fungus, scratches, and fog. Due to its age, it may show very minor wear on the glass, but this does not affect final image quality. This is a vintage lens that has been properly serviced and prepared for reliable creative use rather than left in unknown original condition.

The Rollei HFT Planar 50mm F1.8 is highly regarded for its pleasing color rendering, cinematic contrast, and classic portrait perspective. On full frame, 50mm remains one of the most useful focal lengths for everyday filmmaking. It feels natural and immersive, making it ideal for dialogue scenes, handheld work, portraits, editorial content, and detail shots. With its Leica L adaptation and cine modifications, this lens becomes a distinctive tool for cinematographers who want real vintage rendering without sacrificing workflow convenience.
