The lens has been adapted and adjusted for Nikon F Ai mount, making it suitable for Nikon F-mount cameras and adaptable to many modern mirrorless cinema setups with the proper Nikon F adapter.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis lens is based on the classic Vivitar 28mm F2.8 Auto Wide-Angle design, a popular Japanese manual-focus wide-angle lens from the film photography era. Vivitar was known for sourcing lenses from respected Japanese manufacturers such as Tokina, Komine, Kiron, and Cosina. This copy has a serial number beginning with 37, which is commonly associated with Tokina-made Vivitar lenses. The 28mm F2.8 Auto Wide-Angle type was produced during the vintage manual-focus SLR period, especially around the 1970s-1980s, and remains valued today for its compact build, full-frame coverage, classic rendering, and practical wide-angle field of view.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe lens has been fully cleaned, adjusted, aligned, and re-lubricated for smooth professional use. The aperture has been de-clicked, allowing smooth iris pulls for video exposure control. A follow focus gear is installed on the focusing ring for precise focusing control with standard cine follow focus systems. The included 80mm OD cine lens hood gives the lens a more production-ready cinema form factor and helps reduce unwanted flare during shooting.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlass is in good condition. The optics have been cleaned and aligned, and the lens is free of fungus, fog, and scratches. The body shows normal vintage signs of use, but overall condition is very good for a classic manual lens. Focus movement is smooth, aperture movement is de-clicked and responsive, and the lens is ready for real video production work.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis Vivitar 28mm F2.8 covers a full-frame sensor, making it useful for full-frame, APS-C, Super 35, and mirrorless cinema setups when adapted correctly. On full frame, it offers a natural vintage wide-angle look for establishing shots, handheld documentary work, interiors, travel footage, environmental portraits, and stylized narrative scenes. On Super 35 or APS-C cameras, it becomes a very useful moderate wide-angle lens with a slightly tighter cinematic perspective.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⚙️ Technical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\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\u003eNumber Of Aperture Blades - 6\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 - 37802033\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\u003eIf you want a compact vintage wide-angle prime with real character and practical cine modifications, this Vivitar Auto Wide-Angle 28mm F2.8 is a strong choice. The Nikon F Ai adaptation makes it easy to use on many digital cinema and mirrorless systems with the correct adapter, while the de-clicked aperture and follow focus gear make it much more comfortable for professional video work than a standard photo lens. It offers classic Japanese vintage rendering, full-frame coverage, smooth manual control, and a natural 28mm field of view that works beautifully for narrative scenes, documentary filmmaking, music videos, travel films, interviews with environment, and creative commercial work.\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✔ Vivitar Auto Wide-Angle 28mm F2.8 Cine Mod Lens\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✔ Nikon F Ai Mount Adaptation\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✔ Front Lens Cap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✔ Rear Lens Cap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vivitar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45157970903155,"sku":"178284666892","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6429\/3491\/files\/6a4a5fb30a829a30909b2e13.png?v=1783259429","url":"https:\/\/terphoto.store\/products\/vivitar-auto-wide-angle-28mm-f2-8-cine-mod-prime-vintage-lens-nikon-f-ai","provider":"TerPhoto Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
