Pentacon Electric MC 29mm F2.8 Cine Mod Lens is a professionally modified
vintage lens that delivers the unique character of classic German optics combined with modern features tailored for cinematography and professional video capturing. This cine-mod offers a distinct anamorphic-style aesthetic with its carefully engineered modifications, making it a perfect tool for filmmakers seeking cinematic visuals with vintage charm.

This lens was professionally adapted and upgraded to create neutral oval bokeh and neutral anamorphic-style flares, providing the look of an anamorphic lens while preserving the reliability and compact design of a spherical prime. The resulting images feature oval-shaped out-of-focus highlights and controlled flare behavior, adding cinematic depth and atmosphere to your footage without requiring expensive anamorphic glass.

Adapted and adjusted for Canon EF mount cameras, this Pentacon 29mm F2.8 is fully compatible with both full-frame and APS-C sensors. Its 29mm focal length offers a natural yet slightly wide field of view, excellent for narrative filmmaking, establishing shots, handheld run-and-gun shooting, music videos, or documentary-style storytelling.

To ensure smooth operation on set, the lens has been cine-modded with two 0.8 pitch follow focus gears — one for the focus ring and one for the aperture control. This allows for precise, silent adjustments when paired with industry-standard follow focus systems. The aperture has been de-clicked, enabling seamless exposure transitions, which is essential in professional video production.

Additionally, the lens includes a metal 80mm outside-diameter cine hood with a 77mm filter thread, making it compatible with matte boxes, ND filters, and other professional video accessories. The durable all-metal body ensures long-lasting use, even in demanding production environments.

The glass is in good overall condition — free of fungus or deep scratches. There are some very minor cleaning marks almost invisible spots on ths glass. In practical tests, these did not affect image quality or sharpness. However performance may vary under different shooting conditions. Because of the stains on the glass, the lens is sold AS IS, without returns or refunds.
