Hoya HMC Wide-Auto 35mm F2.8 Cine Mod w/ Anamorphic Bokeh & Flare | Canon EF!

🎬 Professional Cine-Mod Vintage Lens – Full Frame Coverage with Anamorphic Character

This Hoya HMC Wide-Auto 35mm F2.8 Cine Mod has been professionally rebuilt and modified specifically for cinematography and professional video production. Based on the classic Hoya HMC Wide-Auto still photography lens from the late 1970s and early 1980s, this conversion transforms a respected vintage optic into a practical cinema lens while preserving its beautiful optical character.

Unlike conventional spherical lenses, this modified version produces a neutral oval bokeh together with attractive blue anamorphic-style flares, creating a cinematic image that closely resembles the look of anamorphic lenses without requiring any de-squeezing in post-production. Simply add 2.35:1 black bars during editing to achieve a convincing widescreen cinematic aesthetic.

The aperture has been professionally de-clicked for perfectly smooth exposure transitions during filming, while dual 0.8 follow focus gears allow precise control of both focus and aperture using professional follow focus systems.

This lens covers Full Frame sensors, making it an excellent choice for Canon EOS cinema cameras as well as Blackmagic, RED, Sony (with adapters), and other professional video systems using Canon EF mount.

The lens has been fully serviced, including complete cleaning, optical adjustment, fresh lubrication of the helicoid, and precise adaptation to the Canon EF mount for reliable operation.

Glass Condition:

The optics are in very good condition, free from fungus, haze/fog, or scratches. Clean glass delivers excellent contrast and preserves the unique cinematic rendering of this lens.

Body Condition:

The body shows only normal signs of careful use consistent with its age. All functions operate smoothly and precisely after servicing.
