Asahi Super-Takumar 55mm F1.8 Cine Mod Lens w/ Anamorphic Bokeh For Sony E-mount

The Asahi Super-Takumar 55mm F1.8 Cine Mod is a legendary vintage prime lens, professionally adapted for modern cinematography. Known for its exceptional sharpness, beautiful color rendering, and creamy bokeh, this Takumar has been cine-modded for filmmakers seeking the unique character of vintage optics with the handling features of cinema lenses.

This particular lens has been upgraded with two 0.8 pitch follow focus gears—one for focus and one for aperture—allowing smooth, precise, and repeatable adjustments during shooting. The aperture is de-clicked for silent exposure changes, an essential feature for professional video production. It also includes a standard 80mm OD cine lens hood with a 77mm filter thread, making it compatible with industry-standard matte boxes, ND filters, and other filmmaking accessories.

The anamorphic-style bokeh produced by this cine-modded Takumar adds a cinematic flair to your footage, with beautifully stretched highlights and a distinctive, artistic look. Paired with the natural rendering of Takumar glass, this lens delivers a timeless image aesthetic that modern optics often can’t replicate.
