Bring the unmistakable Zeiss visual character into the world of digital filmmaking with this professionally cine-modded Carl Zeiss Jena lens set adapted for Sony E-mount cameras. This collection includes five legendary vintage prime lenses covering essential focal lengths for modern cinematography: 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 80mm, and 135mm. Each lens has been fully serviced, adapted, and custom-modified for professional video production.
Designed in the era of all-metal construction and optical craftsmanship, these lenses combine vintage aesthetics with modern functionality. Every unit has undergone complete mechanical service in our workshop, including cleaning, lubrication, optical inspection, and calibration to ensure precise, reliable manual operation. The optics are free of scratches, fog, and fungus, with only minor cleaning marks typical of vintage glass, which do not affect image performance.
🎬 Professionally Cine-Modded For Modern Production
All five lenses have been upgraded with modern filmmaking workflows in mind:
- 0.8 pitch follow focus gears on focus and aperture rings
- De-clicked aperture for silent, smooth exposure control
- 80mm OD cine hoods with 77mm filter thread
- Sony E-mount adaptation with full-frame coverage
- Front and rear lens caps
This setup allows seamless integration with follow focus systems, matte boxes, filters, motorized rigs, and other cine accessories. The result is a set designed to work comfortably in professional production environments – handheld, tripod, or gimbal.
🎥 Legendary Zeiss Rendering For Cinema
These lenses are known for their classic Zeiss visual signature:
- Rich micro-contrast with excellent subject separation
- Fluid, pleasing bokeh without harsh edges
- Natural color rendering with organic tonal transitions
- Balanced sharpness that avoids a clinical, sterile look
- Three-dimensional pop and depth
On modern Sony sensors, this blend of sharpness, texture, and character produces a cinematic aesthetic that is difficult to achieve with contemporary optics.
