🎬 Tamron BBAR Multi C. 105mm F2.5 Cine Mod Prime Telephoto Lens (Nikon F)

If you’re looking for a true vintage telephoto prime with classic rendering and modern cinema handling, this Tamron BBAR Multi C. 105mm F2.5 is a fantastic choice. TerPhoto prepared this lens for cinematography and professional video work by adding two cine-style follow focus gears – one on the focus ring and one on the aperture ring, so you can pull focus smoothly and control exposure precisely with a follow focus or motor setup.

This 105mm focal length is a favorite for portraits, interviews, detail shots, and cinematic compression. The BBAR Multi coating is known for producing a pleasing contrast profile with natural color, and the vintage optical character gives footage a more “filmic” feel compared to modern ultra-clinical glass.

Glass condition: the optics are free of scratches, fog, and fungus. As expected for a vintage lens, there may be minor age-related wear on coatings, but it does not affect the final image.

Body condition: normal cosmetic wear marks for its age; nothing that impacts operation or usability.

Cine-ready features included in this build:

• 2x Follow Focus Gears (focus + aperture) for controlled pulls and repeatable changes
• 80mm OD cine lens hood for a cinema-friendly front profile
• Hood includes a 77mm filter thread (great for ND, diffusion, or variable ND setups)
• Nikon F mount (ideal for Nikon bodies or adapting to many mirrorless systems)
