Photax 200mm F4.5 Cine Mod Serviced Telephoto Vintage Prime Lens | Arri PL

🎬 Photax 200mm F4.5 Cine Mod Serviced Telephoto Vintage Prime Lens | Arri PL

This Photax 200mm F4.5 is a professionally serviced, cine-modified vintage telephoto prime lens adapted for Arri PL mount and ready for cinematography, professional video production, narrative filmmaking, music videos, interviews, commercials, nature footage, and stylized long-lens shots. The lens covers a full frame sensor, making it suitable for modern cinema cameras that use PL mount or PL-based workflows.

This lens has been fully cleaned, adjusted, aligned, and re-lubricated for smooth manual operation. The aperture has been de-clicked, allowing silent, smooth iris transitions during video recording. It is equipped with 2x follow focus gears, one for precise focusing and one for smooth aperture control, making it practical for use with a follow focus system, cine rig, matte box, and professional camera setup.

The Photax 200mm F4.5 comes from the era of compact Japanese-made manual telephoto lenses, commonly produced during the 1970s vintage SLR period. This cine version is based on the classic manual Photax 200mm F4.5 telephoto design and has been modified by TerPhoto for modern filmmaking use. Glass overall is in good vintage condition. The optics have been cleaned and aligned, with no fungus and no serious scratches. There is very minor wear on the glass, typical for vintage lenses of this age, and it will not affect the final image. The body shows normal minor vintage wear from use, but the lens has been serviced and adjusted for reliable work. The focus and aperture movements are smooth, and the PL adaptation has been adjusted for professional use.

This lens delivers a classic long-lens vintage look with natural compression, separated backgrounds, smooth manual control, and character-rich rendering. At 200mm, it is ideal for distant portraits, cinematic close-ups, landscape compression, wildlife-style shots, stage work, documentary details, product footage, and atmospheric telephoto scenes. The F4.5 aperture keeps the lens compact while still offering strong subject isolation on full frame sensors.
