Iron Glass MKII Rehoused Primes

£450.00

Originally introduced in the 1950s and influenced by Carl Zeiss designs, Soviet lenses are known for their dreamy flares, swirly bokeh, and painterly in-camera texture. They offer sharp centres, gentle edge fall-off, and vibrant colours under controlled lighting, with their character shining brightest when flared. Their unique aesthetic has been featured in major films such as The Batman (2022), The Pope’s Exorcist (2023), The Creator (2023), and Dune: Part Two (2024).

Modern rehoused versions enhance this vintage look with practical upgrades, including a HELICAM internal focus system, universal follow-focus gear positions, improved close focus, and a shimmable stainless steel PL mount for precise back-focus adjustment.

Built for professional use, they also feature precise T-stop markings, reverse focus scales, a 15-blade iris for smooth bokeh, heavy-duty matte box compatibility, and reinforced construction for long-term durability.

Focal Lengths:
- 20mm T/3.6 [Mir-20M]
- 28mm T/3.6 [Mir-10A]
- 37mm T/2.9 [Mir-1V]
- 58mm T/2.1 [Helios 44-2]
- 85mm T/2.1 [Jupiter-9]
