Vivitar MC Wide Angle 28mm F2.8 Cine Mod Vintage Wide Angle Lens | Nikon F (Ai)!

🎬 Vivitar MC Wide Angle 28mm F2.8 – Cine Mod Vintage Prime for Nikon F Ai (Full Frame Coverage)

If you’re building a vintage prime set for narrative work, commercials, music videos, or run-and-gun filmmaking, this Vivitar MC 28mm F2.8 is a fantastic character wide with real classic rendering—now cine-modified for professional video use. This lens covers full frame sensors, giving you a proper wide perspective on Nikon F full-frame bodies and a cinematic, slightly tighter wide on APS-C (and adaptable to many mirrorless cameras with the right adapter).

This cine setup is built for practical shooting: two dedicated 0.8 pitch follow focus gears provide smooth, repeatable control for focus pulls and iris adjustments. Whether you’re working with a follow focus system, wireless motors, or simply want better grip and precision, the dual-gear configuration makes this lens feel at home in a cinema rig.

To complete the cine build, the lens includes an 80mm OD cine lens hood with a 77mm filter thread, making it easy to integrate into matte box setups (80mm OD standard) or run screw-in filters (ND, diffusion, Black Pro-Mist, etc.) without fuss. This is exactly the kind of vintage cine prime filmmakers look for: compact, manual, characterful, and rig-ready.

Glass is in good condition – clean and clear, free of scratches, fog, and fungus, so you can shoot confidently even in backlit scenes. Cosmetically, the lens shows normal age-related wear marks, but nothing that affects operation or performance.

Perfect for:

• Cinematic wide shots with vintage contrast and texture
• Handheld / gimbal rigs where compact primes matter
• Full-frame Nikon F setups and adaptable cine builds on mirrorless
• Creative vintage look without modern “clinical” rendering
