Paragon 135mm F2.8 Cine Mod Serviced Telephoto Vintage Prime Lens | Arri PL

🎬 Paragon 135mm F2.8 Cine Mod Serviced Full Frame Vintage Prime Lens For Arri PL

This offer is for a professionally serviced and cine-modded Paragon 135mm F2.8 vintage telephoto prime lens, adapted and precisely adjusted for Arri PL mount. The lens is modified by TerPhoto for cinematography, professional video production, music videos, commercial work, narrative filmmaking, interviews, portrait shots, and stylized full frame digital cinema use.

This Paragon 135mm F2.8 delivers the classic vintage telephoto look: natural compression, smooth background separation, organic contrast, gentle highlight rendering, and a character-rich image that modern clinical lenses often lack. At 135mm, it is especially useful for close portraits, dramatic detail shots, product work, isolated subjects, nature footage, and cinematic long-lens compositions.

The aperture has been de-clicked for smooth, silent iris control during video recording. The lens is fitted with 2x follow focus gears, giving precise control over both focus and aperture. This makes it ready for use with follow focus systems, wireless focus motors, cinema rigs, matte boxes, and professional production setups.

The lens has been fully serviced: cleaned, adjusted, aligned, re-lubricated, adapted, and calibrated for Arri PL mount. Focus and aperture operation are smooth and usable for cinema work. The lens covers full frame sensors, making it suitable for cameras such as RED, Blackmagic Design, Sony Venice, Canon C-series with PL solutions, ARRI cameras where compatible, and other PL-mount cinema systems.

Glass overall is in good condition. The optics have been cleaned and aligned. The lens is free of fungus and serious scratches. As expected for a vintage lens, there is very minor optical wear on the glass, but it will not affect the final image in normal shooting conditions. The body shows minor vintage wear from age and previous use, but this does not affect operation.

Historically, Paragon lenses were sold as Japanese manual-focus lenses, often associated with the Photax/Paragon branding and produced during the 1970s vintage SLR era. The original lens design is a compact Japanese 135mm F2.8 manual telephoto prime, commonly found in classic M42-style SLR versions and similar rebranded variants. This TerPhoto version is built from that vintage photographic base and converted into a practical cinema lens with PL mount adaptation, de-clicked aperture, follow focus gears, and cine-ready front accessories.

🎥 Why Choose This Lens?

If you want a real vintage full frame telephoto prime with a professional cinema workflow, this Paragon 135mm F2.8 Cine Mod is a strong choice.
