Schneider Kreuznach Cinegon 10mm f/1.8 C-Mount Lens

The Schneider Kreuznach Cinegon 10mm f/1.8 is a legendary vintage cinema lens renowned for its exceptional sharpness, beautiful contrast, and distinctive analog character. Originally designed for professional 16mm motion picture cameras, it has become a favourite among filmmakers using the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (BMPCC OG), Digital Bolex D16, and other C-mount systems for its cinematic rendering and compact design.

With a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture, the Cinegon performs beautifully in available light while producing natural contrast, smooth focus fall-off, and the classic vintage rendering that modern lenses often lack. Its all-metal construction, long focus throw, and precise manual controls make it equally suited to narrative filmmaking, documentaries, music videos, and experimental cinema.

The 10mm focal length provides a wide-angle field of view that is ideal for handheld shooting, interiors, landscapes, and dynamic camera movement. On cameras such as the BMPCC OG and Digital Bolex D16, it delivers a versatile wide perspective while maintaining the distinctive look of genuine cinema optics. Community experience has shown this lens to be a popular choice on these cameras, although image coverage can vary slightly depending on the exact lens version and camera setup.
