The Auto Super-Paragon PMC 76° 28mm F2.8 Cine Mod Lens is a professionally serviced vintage wide-angle lens that has been carefully modified for cinematography and modern video production. With its distinctive optical rendering, solid all-metal body, and cine-focused upgrades, this lens offers a unique blend of classic vintage character and modern usability for Sony E-mount filmmakers.
🎬 Professional Cine Modification
Unlike standard still-photo lenses, this Auto Super-Paragon has been cine-modded to meet the requirements of professional filmmakers:
- 2x 0.8 pitch follow focus gears provide precise, smooth control of both aperture and focus rings.
- De-clicked aperture ring enables seamless exposure adjustments without distracting clicks or jumps.
- 80mm OD wide cine hood is fitted for compatibility with matte boxes, filters, and other professional video accessories.
- Fully adapted and adjusted for Sony E-mount, making it ready to use on Sony full-frame and APS-C cameras.
🌟 Optical Qualities
The 28mm focal length offers a versatile wide-angle perspective with a natural 76° field of view, perfect for both storytelling and establishing shots. This focal length balances wide coverage with controlled distortion, making it highly usable for filmmaking and videography.
- Glass has been professionally cleaned, free from scratches, haze, fog, or fungus.
- Vintage rendering delivers softer contrast and a natural cinematic tone, giving footage a more organic, filmic look.
- Smooth background separation and natural bokeh at f/2.8 help isolate subjects while maintaining depth.
- Color reproduction is rich yet natural, with the warm vintage glow typical of PMC-coated optics.
🔧 Fully Serviced and Ready for Production
This lens was fully serviced before cine modification:
- Mechanics re-lubricated for precise and smooth focusing.
- Glass carefully cleaned, with only very minor wear visible due to its vintage nature (does not affect image quality).
- Housing adjusted to ensure reliable long-term use.
- Adapted for Sony E-mount with perfect fit and alignment.
