Ironglass Primes MK II (PL Mount)
Iron Glass has done a masterful job building their MKII rehousing for these legendary vintage Soviet lenses. Truly stunning design and top notch mechanics!
Freestyle has one of the largest and most complete sets of the Iron Glass MKII Vintage Soviet sets on the planet. And we will continue to add every focal length that Iron Glass rehouses. Because we love this glass!
Each of these full frame lenses has its own incredibly unique image characteristics, like the “god flare” of the 20mm Mir, the famed swirly bokeh of the 58mm Helios 44-2, or the wild and beautiful 85mm Helios 40–2. All of these lenses have their own painterly texture with dreamy flares and are surprisingly sharp in the center of frame. Each lens also has gentle focus fall-off at the edges and delivers excellent contrast with vibrant colours in controlled lighting conditions, but when you allow them to really flare, they come alive and that unique character shines!
It’s no secret that these lenses have been trusted on huge productions, like Dune 2 and The Batman. Ukrainian-based Iron Glass has now delivered some of the very best rehousing designs for vintage glass, able hold up to the rigorous demands of any and all modern production!
FYI - Freestyle carries either the 85mm Helios 40-2 or the 85mm Jupiter. You choose which you prefer!
