Canon FD 28mm F2.8 Cine Mod Wide Prime Lens w/ Anamorphic Bokeh | Sony E-mount!

🎬 Canon FD 28mm F2.8 Cine Mod – Anamorphic-Style Bokeh | Sony E-Mount

Bring authentic vintage Canon character into a modern filmmaking setup with this professionally modified Canon FD 28mm F2.8 wide-angle prime lens, adapted and precisely adjusted for Sony E-mount cameras.

This cine-mod is based on the classic Canon FD 28mm F2.8 manual-focus wide-angle lens, part of Canon’s highly regarded FD system. Canon introduced the FD mount in 1971, and FD lenses became an important part of Canon’s 35mm SLR system throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Their compact mechanical construction, manual focusing feel and distinctive vintage rendering have made FD optics increasingly popular with modern cinematographers.

TerPhoto has converted this original photographic lens for practical cinematography and professional video production. The lens has been fully cleaned, adjusted and re-lubricated, then adapted and calibrated for Sony E-mount operation. The aperture has been de-clicked, allowing smooth, continuous iris adjustments instead of the stepped aperture movement of a standard photographic lens. This is particularly useful for video when exposure needs to be changed smoothly during a shot. A follow-focus gear is installed on the focusing ring, providing precise mechanical engagement with standard cine follow-focus systems and making repeatable manual focus pulls considerably easier.

One of the most distinctive features of this modification is its neutral oval bokeh. This is a spherical lens with a modified aperture/bokeh characteristic designed to evoke part of the visual language associated with anamorphic cinematography while retaining a normal, unsqueezed image. No de-squeezing is required. For an anamorphic-inspired presentation, a 2.35:1 crop or black bars can simply be applied during post-production.

The 28mm focal length provides a versatile wide field of view on full-frame cameras and is well suited to establishing shots, interiors, environmental portraits, handheld filmmaking, music videos, narrative productions and other creative cinematography. The lens covers a full-frame sensor, making it suitable for compatible full-frame Sony E-mount cinema and mirrorless cameras as well as APS-C/Super35 applications, where the effective field of view becomes tighter. Glass is in good vintage condition. There is very minor age-related wear on the optical surfaces, typical for a vintage lens of this period. This minor wear is not expected to affect the final image. The lens body also presents as a genuine vintage optical assembly that has been professionally prepared for continued filmmaking use. A large cine-style hood is included, providing an approximately 80mm outside diameter at the front and helping create a more production-friendly form factor.

🎬 Why Choose This Lens?

The Canon FD 28mm F2.8 is an excellent option for filmmakers who want genuine vintage Canon rendering without giving up practical cine-oriented controls. Its full-frame 28mm coverage provides a useful wide perspective, while the de-clicked aperture and geared focus ring make it much more convenient for professional video work than an untouched photographic FD lens. The neutral oval-bokeh modification introduces an anamorphic-inspired visual character without optically squeezing the image, so footage remains straightforward to shoot, monitor and edit. Combined with its compact vintage construction and Sony E-mount adaptation, it is an appealing creative prime for narrative filmmaking, music videos, commercials and experimental cinematography.
