This compact Nikon wide-angle combines classic Japanese vintage-lens rendering with practical cine-oriented modifications, making it an excellent option for filmmakers who want a more organic image character than modern clinical optics.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe aperture mechanism has been de-clicked, allowing smooth, continuous iris adjustment during filming without the original click stops. A follow-focus gear is installed on the focusing ring, providing precise control with standard cinema follow-focus systems. The lens is also supplied with an 80mm OD cine-style hood, helping integrate this compact vintage optic into a modern video rig.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe lens has been fully cleaned, adjusted and re-lubricated.

There is very minor age-related wear on the glass, typical for a vintage lens of this period. This minor wear is not expected to affect the final image. The exterior shows normal signs of previous use consistent with its age; please inspect the listing photographs for the exact cosmetic condition.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a full-frame lens and covers a full-frame 35mm sensor. On full-frame digital cinema and mirrorless cameras, 28mm provides a versatile wide-angle field of view suitable for establishing shots, environmental portraits, interiors, handheld work, music videos, documentaries, and narrative filmmaking. It can also be used on APS-C\/Super 35 cameras, where the field of view becomes tighter depending on the camera’s crop factor.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Nikon Series E range was introduced around the end of the 1970s as Nikon’s more compact line of manual-focus Nikkor-compatible lenses. The Series E 28mm F2.8 belongs to the classic manual-focus Nikon era and was produced during the early 1980s. Series E optics were designed to provide Nikon users with smaller and lighter alternatives while retaining Nikon F-mount compatibility. This cine modification is made from an original Nikon Series E 28mm F2.8 photographic lens rather than a modern optical reproduction, preserving the character of the original Japanese vintage glass while adding features useful for contemporary filmmaking.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e⚙️ \u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLens Mount - Nikon F (Ai)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFocal Length - 28mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Aperture - F2.8\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Aperture - F22\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAperture Blades - 7\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Focusing Distance - 0.3m\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Size - 52mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFocus Type - Manual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number - 1807730\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🎥 Why Choose This Lens?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Nikon Series E 28mm F2.8 is an attractive choice for filmmakers looking for a compact, genuine vintage Nikon wide-angle with full-frame coverage. Its 28mm focal length is highly versatile for narrative scenes, interiors, documentary shooting, music videos, environmental portraits and handheld cinematography. Compared with many modern lenses, vintage Nikon glass can provide a less clinical, more organic rendering that works especially well when building a character-driven lens set. TerPhoto’s de-clicked aperture and geared focus ring make the original photographic lens significantly more convenient for cinema use, while the native Nikon F (AI) mount is easy to adapt to many modern mirrorless and cinema-camera systems with the appropriate adapter.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e📦 This Offer Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✔ Nikon Series E 28mm F2.8 Cine-Mod Lens\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✔ De-Clicked Aperture Modification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✔ Follow Focus Gear on Focusing Ring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✔ 80mm OD Cine Lens Hood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✔ Nikon F (AI) Mount Adaptation \/ Adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✔ Front Lens Cap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✔ Rear Lens Cap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nikon","offers":[{"title":"Nikon F","offer_id":45364194377843,"sku":"178409131954","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6429\/3491\/files\/6a80318ccb0d31535d080c73.png?v=1786786643","url":"https:\/\/terphoto.store\/products\/nikon-series-e-28mm-f2-8-cine-mod-wide-angle-vintage-prime-lens-nikon-f-ai","provider":"TerPhoto Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
