$ 159.99

Sold out

The Canon FD 50mm F1.8 Cine Mod Lens has been carefully modified and serviced
for modern cinematography while retaining its distinctive vintage charm. Originally built for still photography, this lens has been fully adapted for Sony E-mount cameras and upgraded for professional video production.

This cine-modded version is equipped with two 0.8 pitch follow focus gears, ensuring smooth, precise manual control of both aperture and focus. The aperture has been de-clicked for seamless exposure adjustments, a crucial feature for filmmakers who demand continuous control without hard stops. An 80mm outer diameter cine hood is included, allowing compatibility with matte boxes and other professional lens accessories.

One of the most unique upgrades is the neutral oval bokeh modification. This adjustment transforms the character of the lens, emulating the anamorphic aesthetic without requiring an actual anamorphic lens. The resulting oval bokeh adds cinematic depth and character to your footage. When paired with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio (black bars in post-production), the lens delivers an authentic widescreen anamorphic-inspired look that is both dramatic and versatile.

The glass has been professionally cleaned and fungus removed. While the fungus itself is no longer present, it left behind permanent stains on the internal glass, as well as a light, nearly invisible fog. In extensive test shooting, these imperfections did not noticeably affect image quality, sharpness, or color rendering. However, due to these cosmetic flaws, the lens is offered AS IS, with no returns or refunds. This makes it a cost-effective opportunity for filmmakers looking to achieve a rare cinematic look at a fraction of the price of true anamorphic glass.
