Fuji Fujinon 55mm F2.2 Cine Mod Portrait Prime For Filmmakers | M4/3!

🎬 Fuji Fujinon 55mm F2.2 Cine Mod Portrait Prime – M4/3

A character-rich vintage Fujinon prime professionally prepared by TerPhoto for cinematography, filmmaking and manual-focus video work. This Fuji Photo Film Co. Fujinon 55mm F2.2 began life as an M42 35mm-format lens and has been adapted and adjusted for Micro Four Thirds / M4/3 cameras.

For professional video use, the aperture has been de-clicked, allowing smooth iris adjustments without the hard click stops of a standard photographic lens. A follow-focus gear is installed on the focusing ring, providing precise and repeatable manual focusing when used with a follow-focus system. The lens has been fully cleaned, mechanically adjusted and re-lubricated, then adapted and adjusted for the M4/3 mount.

Glass is in good vintage condition. As expected with optics of this age, there may be very minor age-related wear or light cleaning traces on the glass, but these will not affect normal final image quality.

The lens body shows authentic cosmetic wear from previous use. Please note that a previous owner engraved text on the lens body. This is purely cosmetic and does not affect optical performance, focusing, aperture operation, mount function or overall functionality in any way. Please examine all listing photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.

The Fujinon 55mm F2.2 is a distinctive 1970s Japanese standard prime. Its vintage optical formula is appreciated by creative shooters for characterful rendering, strong subject separation and the ability to produce noticeable bubble-style bokeh highlights in suitable backgrounds and lighting. This TerPhoto cine modification preserves the original optical character while making the lens significantly more practical for modern filmmaking. The Fujinon 55mm F2.2 family dates back to the mid-1970s. Fuji introduced this version around 1975 as a standard lens for Fujica SLR cameras. The design uses an unusual 4-element / 4-group optical formula and became especially appreciated by modern vintage-lens users for its distinctive bubble-style bokeh.

🎬 Why Choose This Lens?

If you want a genuine vintage image instead of the cleaner and more clinical rendering of many modern lenses, the Fujinon 55mm F2.2 is an excellent creative option. On Micro Four Thirds, the focal length becomes particularly useful for portraits, faces, interviews, product details and cinematic close-ups. The de-clicked aperture allows smooth exposure changes during filming, while the geared focusing ring integrates naturally into a follow-focus setup. Its original 35mm-format image circle is larger than the M4/3 sensor requires, and the classic Fujinon optics provide distinctive vintage character, attractive subject separation and expressive bokeh. It is a compact manual prime well suited to Panasonic Lumix, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera, Olympus/OM System and other Micro Four Thirds filmmaking setups. The lens is intentionally presented as a genuine vintage filmmaking tool rather than a cosmetically restored collector piece. The body wear and previous-owner engraving remain visible, while the important mechanical components have been cleaned, serviced, adjusted and prepared for continued use.
