Experience ultra-fast optics and unique cinematic rendering with the 16KP 50mm F1.2 Cine Mod Lens, professionally adapted for Sony E-mount. Originally designed as a high-speed projection lens, the 16KP 50mm F1.2 is known for its extreme light-gathering power, dream-like bokeh, and expressive vintage character. In this modern cine-modded form, it becomes a powerful, creative tool for filmmakers looking for a signature artistic look.
🎬 Professionally Cine-Modded for Modern Filmmaking
This lens has undergone a complete conversion to make it suitable for digital cinematography:
- Precision Sony E-Mount Adaptation – calibrated for accurate infinity focus.
- Installed 0.8 Pitch Follow Focus Gear – smooth and precise manual focusing for controlled cinematic pulls.
- Cleaned, Re-Lubricated, and Mechanically Serviced – restored for optimal performance.
- Front & Rear Caps Included – ensures safe transport and storage.
- APS-C Optimized – covers APS-C mode without vignetting.
Because this is a projection-era lens, it was not manufactured with an adjustable aperture. Filming is performed wide open at F1.2 only, delivering maximum background separation, dramatic softness, and a uniquely expressive image quality.
🌌 Signature Optical Character & Cinematic Aesthetics
The 16KP series was engineered for high-contrast projection, and when adapted for modern cameras, it produces:
- A very shallow depth of field at F1.2
- Neutral oval bokeh from spherical modification – providing an anamorphic-style background
- Beautiful vintage micro-contrast
- Soft roll-off and smooth transitions
- Dreamy painterly textures
This lens is capable of stunning artistic shots, stylized close-ups, music video aesthetics, and handheld creative cinematography.
📐 Full Frame vs APS-C Coverage
This modified 16KP covers APS-C completely without vignetting.
- On Sony A7II (full frame mode) – you will see vignetting (as shown in sample photos).
- On Sony APS-C mode – the frame is clean with full coverage.
Several sample photos taken on both modes are included in the listing.
