His Nikkor 135mm lens has been modified by Duclos Lenses via their Cine-Mod™process making them more useable for motion picture applications. The Cine-Mod consist of three primary parts: A seamless 32-pitch (0.8 module) focus gear, an 80mm front ring with 77mm filter threads, and a de-clicked, damped aperture movement. This lens has both Nikon and EF mount options.

The Nikon 135mm f/3.5 classic telephoto lens has extremely high image quality. A simple lens without a zoom or autofocus so its optics aren't subject to any mechanical play: they are bolted together in solid metal forever, unlike zooms. Therefore the 135mm f/3.5 is extremely sharp and has no visible distortion.
