Experience the timeless allure of vintage cinematography with the Dallmeyer Cinematograph 2″ f/1.9 Cine Lens, now available at Camera Crate. This exceptionally rare piece of cinematic history is a true gem for collectors and filmmakers alike. Originally designed for 16mm cine cameras such as the Bolex H-16, this lens is a rare find and highly sought after by cinephiles around the world. Known also as the Dallmeyer Kinematograph lens, it offers a glimpse into the golden era of filmmaking.

The Dallmeyer Cinematograph lens showcases remarkable craftsmanship and optics that have stood the test of time. Its optical quality and vintage character bring a unique and authentic touch to your modern filmmaking projects. Despite its age, this lens is in very good condition, a testament to its durability and the care it has received over the years.

With an impressive f/1.9 aperture, this lens not only lets in ample light for low-light shooting but also provides a beautiful shallow depth of field, allowing you to achieve that classic cinematic look. Its C-Mount compatibility ensures easy attachment to a wide range of cameras, making it a versatile addition to any filmmaker’s toolkit.

Every camera we sell is vigorously inspected by our team. Our ten-part inspection method includes the following checks:

  1. Lens – we check for any mould, dust, haze, dirt, cracks and air bubbles. Where possible we clean/remove any imperfections – any remaining are noted.
  2. Zoom – we inspect both manual and power zoom work smoothly. Any issues are noted.
  3. Focus – we check that manual focus is smooth and works well. If automatic focus is included as a feature that is also checked.
  4. Motor / Claw – we check that the motor runs smoothly at all advertised speeds and that the film claw has sufficient torque to advance film.
  5. Filmgate – this is inspected and any dirt or hair is removed.
  6. Lightmeter – the lightmeter is inspected to ensure it automatically reacts correctly to light. Manual aperture control and/or backlight is also checked if included as a feature.
  7. Viewfinder – we inspect for mould, dust and haze or damage. Where possible we clean/remove any imperfections – any remaining is noted.
  8. Battery terminals – we inspect for rust/corrosion, cleaning and repairing where needed.
  9. Body – where possible we clean any imperfections. Any remaining cosmetic damage is noted.
  10. Additional Features – all additional model specific features (such as timelapse or crossfade) are checked for functionality.
