Seller's Description

A Tribute to an Optical Legend  Widely revered as the "Holy Grail" of mid-20th-century portrait and cinema photography, the Super Six 3-inch (76mm) f/1.9 needs no introduction among seasoned vintage lens connoisseurs. In its era, it represented the absolute pinnacle of immense light-gathering, a massive image circle, and ultimate spatial separation. Its magical ability to seemingly "carve" the subject straight out of the background creates an atmosphere that remains as highly coveted today as it was decades ago. Driven by pure passion, DK-Optic has flawlessly resurrected this masterpiece, combining its vintage soul with the extreme precision of modern industrial manufacturing.

Even with the massive glass volume required for a 3-inch lens, our cine-grade mechanical structures guarantee an incredibly smooth, buttery focusing experience.

Silver Chrome Edition & Mechanics:  The main exterior barrel is crafted from high-strength 7075 aerospace-grade aluminum to significantly reduce w…
