Carl Zeiss Jena DDR MC Auto Flektogon 35mm F2.4 Cine Mod Prime Lens | Arri PL!

🎬 Carl Zeiss Jena DDR MC Auto Flektogon 35mm F2.4 Cine Mod Prime Lens for Arri PL

This offer is for a professionally cine-modded Carl Zeiss Jena DDR MC Auto Flektogon 35mm F2.4, adapted and adjusted for Arri PL mount by TerPhoto for cinematography and professional video production. This classic East German Zeiss wide-angle prime is loved by filmmakers for its compact build, close focusing ability, strong vintage character, and natural cinematic rendering. The lens covers full frame sensor format, making it a practical choice for modern digital cinema cameras and full-frame PL-mount setups.

The modification is based on the original Carl Zeiss Jena DDR MC Auto Flektogon 35mm F2.4 still-photo lens, originally produced for 35mm SLR cameras. The Flektogon line is historically important because it belongs to Carl Zeiss Jena’s retrofocus wide-angle family, with roots going back to the early 1950s. The faster 35mm F2.4 multicoated version became one of the most desirable later Flektogon designs from the DDR era, especially because of its useful 35mm field of view, close 0.2m focusing distance, and distinctive Zeiss Jena color/contrast signature.

This copy has been fully cleaned, adjusted, re-lubricated, adapted, and adjusted for Arri PL mount. It is ready for professional video work, indie film production, music videos, interviews, documentaries, commercial shoots, and stylized full-frame cinematography. The lens includes 2x follow focus gears – one on the focus ring and one on the aperture ring, allowing precise focusing and aperture control with standard cinema accessories. The included 80mm OD cine lens hood gives the front a production-friendly cinema profile and helps with matte box style setups.

Optically, the glass is in good vintage condition. It is free of fungus, scratches, and fog. As with most vintage lenses, there may be very minor age-related glass wear, but this does not affect the final image. The body shows normal cosmetic signs of use, typical for a serviced vintage lens, and all functional parts have been prepared for smooth professional operation.

🎥 Why Choose This Lens?

If you want a compact vintage Zeiss wide-angle prime with true cinema handling, full-frame coverage, and Arri PL compatibility, this Flektogon 35mm F2.4 is an excellent choice. It offers the recognizable Carl Zeiss Jena DDR look: character-rich contrast, vintage color, close-focus flexibility, and a natural 35mm perspective that works beautifully for handheld scenes, interiors, environmental portraits, product shots, travel films, narrative work, and documentary production. The PL conversion, fresh service, re-lubrication, 2 geared rings, and 80mm OD cine hood make it much more practical on a cinema rig than a standard still-photo version.
