product details
Bausch & Lomb Super Baltar lenses, especially in their modern TLS rehoused form, are valued for their iconic rendering and their critical place in film history. TLS-rehoused Bausch & Lomb Super Baltars are more than just vintage curiosities—they are cinematic tools with soul, blending practical, modern housings with one of the most storied optical signatures in Hollywood history. Successors to the original Baltars, they offer improved coatings, higher contrast, and greater consistency across focal lengths. They continue to be chosen not just for nostalgia, but for their ability to imbue modern productions with a textured, organic quality and timeless, human warmth without excessive degradation. A typical rehoused Super Baltar set includes: 20mm T2.3, 25mm T2.3, 35mm T2.3, 50mm T2.3, 75mm T2.3, 100mm T2.3, and 152mm T2.3. Available for rental or subrental at Cine Visuals.

Image Performance
Handling & Adaptability
The inclusion of a single aspheric optical element makes it visually compatible with both the multi-aspheric Leica Summilux-C and the spherical Leica Summicron-C primes. With nine lenses in six groups and apochromatic correction, outstanding resolution and contrast can be achieved all the way to the edge of the frame.
