mamiya CINE LENSES

Mamiya, founded in Tokyo in 1940, is a legendary name in photography, renowned for its medium-format cameras and lenses that defined professional imaging for decades. In cinema, Mamiya glass has found new life through rehousing, where its distinctive optical qualities are adapted for modern motion picture production. Known for exceptional sharpness paired with smooth tonal transitions, Mamiya lenses deliver a clean yet organic rendering that appeals to cinematographers seeking a balance between precision and character. Their medium-format origins give them generous image circles, making them well-suited for today’s full-frame and large-format digital cameras once properly rehoused. With a reputation for craftsmanship and a visual aesthetic that bridges still and motion imaging, Mamiya optics provide filmmakers with a timeless look in reliable, production-ready housings.
