Upgrade your cinematography with Pentacon Multi Coating 50mm F1.8 Cine-Mod Lens, a legendary East German vintage lens that has been professionally modified to produce a distinctive anamorphic-style bokeh. This unique modification creates oval-shaped bokeh, mimicking the sought-after cinematic look of high-end anamorphic lenses.
Key Features:
✔ Anamorphic Bokeh Upgrade – Custom modified optics create oval-shaped bokeh, perfect for achieving a cinematic look at a fraction of the cost of true anamorphic lenses. The lens renders smooth, organic background blur that brings a unique touch to your imagery.
✔ Cine-Modded for Film & Video – Features a de-clicked aperture for smooth and precise exposure adjustments and a fluid focus ring for controlled and accurate focus pulling.
✔ Canon EF Mount – Professionally adapted for use with Canon DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and cinema rigs, including the Blackmagic Pocket 6K.
✔ Close Focus Advantage – The minimum focusing distance is 33 cm (1.08 ft), allowing for stunning close-up and macro shots.
✔ Distinctive Vintage Character – The low-contrast rendering, soft glow at f/1.8, and sharp performance at f/5.6-f/8 deliver a timeless look with exceptional detail in the right conditions.
✔ Multi-Coated Optics – Reduces ghosting and enhances contrast, while still maintaining the cinematic softness that vintage glass is known for.
✔ All-Metal Build – The lens is constructed entirely from metal, offering a solid feel with a durable design that can withstand the rigors of professional use.
✔ Serviced and Ready to Use – The lens has been professionally cleaned, lubricated, and calibrated to ensure smooth functionality with no issues.
Additional Information: The Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 lens was manufactured in East Germany, primarily for Praktica SLRs and was one of the most produced prime lenses of its time. The lens is equipped with 6 lens elements in 4 groups for classic, vintage rendering. The aperture is a 6-blade design and stops down from f/1.8 to f/16, offering flexibility for various lighting conditions. The lens is known for its soft focus at wide apertures and its unique ability to create bokeh with an organic, artistic feel.
This lens provides a vintage cinematic character that modern lenses simply can’t replicate, making it perfect for portraiture, music videos, or indie film production. Whether you’re shooting on digital cinema cameras or mirrorless setups, this lens is ideal for capturing organic, analog-style visuals.
This offer includes:
✔ Pentacon Auto Multi Coating 50mm F1.8 Cine Mod Lens
✔ Adapter & rear cap for Canon EF mount
✔ 80mm Cine Lens Hood (77mm filter thread)
✔ 2x 0.8 rubber follow focus gear for precise focus and aperture control

Compatibility: This lens is adapted to Canon EF mount but can be easily adapted to other systems with the appropriate mount adapter (sold separately). It works flawlessly on both full-frame and APS-C sensor cameras. On full-frame bodies, you’ll get the classic 50mm perspective, while on APS-C cameras, it will provide an effective focal length of approximately 80mm — ideal for portraits and tighter shots. It’s a great option for filmmakers or photographers looking to experiment with manual focus, and lens flare effects (though keep in mind this version does not include flare upgrades).
