Pentacon Electric 135mm F2.8 Cine Mod Prime w/ Anamorphic Bokeh | Canon EF!

🎬 Pentacon Electric 135mm F2.8 Cine Mod Prime Lens for Canon EF – Neutral Anamorphic Bokeh | Full Frame

Bring authentic vintage character into your productions with this professionally cine-modified Pentacon Electric 135mm F2.8, adapted for Canon EF mount and fully optimized for modern cinematography workflows. This legendary East German telephoto prime has been carefully rebuilt by TerPhoto for filmmakers seeking classic rendering combined with practical cine functionality.

Unlike a standard spherical lens, this custom modification features neutral oval bokeh, producing an anamorphic-inspired rendering without requiring an anamorphic adapter or de-squeezing in post-production. Simply crop your footage using a 2.35:1 cinematic aspect ratio to achieve a beautiful widescreen aesthetic with elegant oval background blur while maintaining the simplicity and sharpness of a spherical lens.

The aperture has been professionally de-clicked for completely smooth iris transitions during recording, while 0.8 MOD follow focus gears are installed on both the focus and aperture rings, allowing precise operation with professional follow focus systems.

This lens covers Full Frame sensors, making it suitable for Canon Cinema EOS, Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K FF, RED, Sony (via EF adapter), Panasonic, and many other professional cinema systems.

The optics are in very good vintage condition. The glass shows only very minor signs of cleaning wear, typical for lenses of this age, with no impact on image quality or contrast. The lens has been fully cleaned, adjusted, re-lubricated, precisely collimated and professionally adapted to Canon EF mount, ensuring smooth focusing and reliable operation.

A Piece of Optical History

The Pentacon Electric 135mm F2.8 was manufactured in the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany) during the 1970s and 1980s by VEB Pentacon Dresden, one of Europe’s most respected optical manufacturers. The Electric version represents one of the most refined developments of the famous Pentacon 135mm design, originally created for Praktica cameras. Renowned for its beautiful color rendition, smooth background separation, and pleasing contrast, it has become a favorite among filmmakers looking for genuine vintage character that modern optics often lack.
