Mir 20mm f/3.5A rare wide-angle gem from the Soviet era, the Mir 20mm f/3.5 delivers a unique blend of vintage character and optical charm. Now professionally rehoused in a robust PL mount, it’s ready for modern cinema workflows without losing its soul. This lens offers a distinct low-contrast look, subtle corner softness, and organic flaring—ideal for filmmakers looking to escape the clinical feel of modern glass. Its rendering is wide without feeling distorted, maintaining natural proportions while adding a nostalgic touch to wide shots. Whether you’re chasing that 70s documentary feel, dreamy travel visuals, or just need a wide with personality, the Mir 20mm brings something unmistakably analog to your frame. Mir-1V 37mm f/2.8A true sleeper lens with vintage magic, the Mir-1V 37mm f/2.8 is a Soviet reinterpretation of the Zeiss Flektogon—reborn here in a rock-solid PL rehousing for cinema use. Sitting in that sweet mid-wide focal length, this lens offers a natural field of view with just enough quirk to stand out. Expect gentle sharpness, smooth falloff, and a slightly cooler color tone that gives skin tones a soft, almost nostalgic feel. Wide open, it brings a painterly softness, while stopped down it sharpens up without ever becoming clinical. Flaring is pronounced but cinematic, and the lens has a unique ability to add texture to digital images without overdoing it. Helios-44 58mm f/2The Helios-44 58mm f/2 is a legend in vintage glass circles — and for good reason. Rehoused in a professional PL mount, this lens keeps all the dreamy imperfections that made it iconic, now with the build quality and reliability needed for modern film sets. Expect swirly bokeh, lens flares with personality, and a glowing softness wide open that gives skin and highlights a romantic quality. It sharpens up when stopped down, but never loses its vintage character. At 58mm, it lives in that flattering mid-telephoto space, perfect for portraits, inserts, and emotional close-ups. This lens doesn’t just capture images — it paints them. Jupiter-9 85mm f/2The Jupiter-9 85mm f/2 is pure vintage elegance—rehoused in PL mount and ready for cinema. Originally designed as a Soviet interpretation of the Zeiss Sonnar, this lens delivers a creamy, soft rendering that’s perfect for portraits and emotionally charged close-ups. Wide open, it produces a beautiful falloff, smooth bokeh, and slightly lower contrast for a romantic, painterly image. There’s a natural warmth to the colors and a subtle glow around highlights, giving your shots a timeless, cinematic quality. This lens flatters faces, softens digital edges, and adds just the right amount of character without overpowering the scene.
