IronGlass MKII

Soviet Rehoused

Prime - Spherical - Full Frame

product details

The IronGlass MKII Primes are Soviet-era still lenses rehoused in cine housings. These spherical primes are prized for their vintage imperfections and unique aberrations, which are embraced as stylistic tools. Their character is bold: swirling bokeh, distinctive flare streaks, lower contrast, and edge softness define their look. Filmmakers use them to add vintage imperfection and analog soul to otherwise clean digital images. Available focal lengths are 20mm, 28mm, 37mm, 58mm (Helios 44-2), 85mm (Jupiter), 85mm (Helios 40-2), and 135mm, with T-stops from T1.4 to T3.6. Available for rental or subrental at Cine Visuals.

Image Performance

Handling & Adaptability

The inclusion of a single aspheric optical element makes it visually compatible with both the multi-aspheric Leica Summilux-C and the spherical Leica Summicron-C primes. With nine lenses in six groups and apochromatic correction, outstanding resolution and contrast can be achieved all the way to the edge of the frame.
