Vivitar MC Wide Angle 28mm F2 Cine Mod Lens w/ Anamorphic Bokeh | Sony E-mount!

🎬 Vivitar MC Wide Angle 28mm F2 Cine Mod Lens with Anamorphic-Style Oval Bokeh for Sony E-Mount

This Vivitar MC Wide Angle 28mm F2 has been professionally cine-modded by TerPhoto for cinematography, video production, music videos, commercials, narrative filmmaking, and full-frame Sony mirrorless shooting. It is a fast vintage wide-angle prime with a modified optical character designed to emulate the anamorphic look while remaining a practical spherical lens. The lens produces a neutral oval bokeh effect, giving your footage a stretched, cinematic background rendering without the need for anamorphic de-squeezing. For a classic widescreen presentation, simply add 1:2.35 aspect ratio black bars in post-production.

The aperture has been de-clicked for smooth iris pulls during video recording, making exposure transitions more natural and professional. This lens is fitted with two 0.8 pitch follow focus gears, one for precise focusing and one for aperture control, allowing easy use with follow focus systems, wireless motors, and cinema rigs. The lens has also been fully cleaned, adjusted, re-lubricated, adapted, and calibrated for Sony E-mount.

This lens covers a full-frame sensor, making it suitable for Sony Alpha full-frame cameras such as the A7, A7S, A7R, FX3, FX30 in crop mode, FX6, and other Sony E-mount cinema or mirrorless bodies. On full frame, the 28mm focal length gives a natural wide-angle perspective that works beautifully for handheld storytelling, establishing shots, interiors, travel films, music videos, street cinematography, and environmental portraits.

Glass is in good vintage condition. It has been cleaned and aligned, with only very minor wear on the glass typical for vintage lenses. This cosmetic optical wear will not affect the final image. The body shows normal vintage use, but the lens is mechanically ready for professional work. Focus and aperture operation are smooth after service, and the cine modification makes the lens much easier to integrate into modern video production.

The original Vivitar 28mm F2 wide-angle lenses were produced during the late 1970s to early 1980s, a strong era for Japanese manual-focus optics. Vivitar was an American brand originally connected to Ponder & Best and often commissioned lenses from respected Japanese optical manufacturers. The 28mm F2 versions are commonly associated with makers such as Kino Precision/Kiron and Komine depending on serial number and construction. This cine-modified version is based on the classic style Vivitar MC 28mm F2 manual-focus lens and has been adapted for Sony E-mount use.
