Offered here is a classic Minolta MD Rokkor 45mm F2 “pancake” prime, professionally adapted for modern filmmaking with a Sony E-mount conversion and cine-ready operation. This lens is spherical, but it has been modified to produce a neutral oval bokeh that emulates the anamorphic vibe (oval highlights / separation) without any de-squeeze workflow. For the widescreen look, simply add 2.35:1 (2.39:1) black bars in post-production and enjoy a cinematic presentation with vintage character.
Built for video use, this setup is designed to drop straight onto your rig:
Optics (Glass): Under inspection, the elements show no deep scratches or edge chips. There are light cleaning marks and minor vintage fungus/wear present; these are cosmetic at the glass surface and should not have a measurable impact on real-world image (no meaningful loss of sharpness/contrast expected in normal shooting).
Mechanics / Body: The housing is structurally solid with only minor wear, which will not affect on work with this lens. Focus and aperture operation are normal for a cine-prepped manual lens, with no play, binding, or functional faults observed.
This lens is a strong choice for filmmakers who want a compact prime with classic Minolta rendering, improved cine handling, and stylized bokeh for music videos, narrative scenes, portraits/interviews, and commercial work.
If you want a compact vintage prime that’s easy to rig and fun to shoot, this Rokkor 45mm F2 is a sweet spot. On Sony E cameras it gives a natural “almost-standard” perspective, while the oval-bokeh modification adds an anamorphic-style highlight shape and separation – without the cost, weight, and post workflow of true anamorphic. With geared focus and geared aperture, it’s a practical tool for controlled pulls and repeatable exposure changes on set, giving you vintage character with modern usability.
