🎬 Soligor Tele-Auto 135mm F2.8 Cine Mod Prime Lens with Neutral Oval Bokeh for Canon EF
Bring a distinctive cinematic character to your footage with this professionally modified Soligor Tele-Auto 135mm F2.8 Cine Mod lens by TerPhoto. This vintage prime has been carefully prepared for cinematography and professional video work, combining classic optical rendering with practical cine-ready usability. Its special spherical modification creates a neutral oval bokeh, giving your image an anamorphic-inspired feel without the complexity of a true anamorphic workflow. There is no need for de-squeezing in post-production – simply add 1:2.35 aspect ratio black bars to achieve a wide cinematic presentation with elegant subject separation and a stylized film look.
This lens is an excellent choice for filmmakers who want a vintage telephoto prime with artistic background rendering, smooth manual control, and strong compatibility with modern full frame camera systems. It covers full frame sensors, making it suitable for Canon EF cinema and DSLR setups, as well as adapted video rigs built around EF-mount ecosystems. The lens has been fully cleaned, adjusted, re-lubricated, adapted, and calibrated for Canon EF mount, ensuring reliable mechanical performance and a more refined user experience in production environments.
The optical glass is in good condition, free from fungus, scratches, and fog. As expected from a vintage lens, there may be very minor signs of age-related wear on the glass, but these do not affect final image quality. The body shows normal signs of careful use consistent with age. For practical filmmaking, the lens is fitted with two follow focus gears for precise and repeatable focus and aperture pulls, making it much more convenient for narrative, music video, commercial, portrait, and stylized documentary work. The included 80mm outer diameter cine lens hood also helps integrate the lens more easily into a cine workflow with common clamp-on accessories.
