TLS Canon Vintage K35 / FD / FD-X Full Set

product details
The TLS Canon Vintage “Dream Set” brings together the most sought-after Canon vintage primes, professionally rehoused for cinema by TLS, into one complete collection. Spanning 14mm through 200mm, this curated set unites Canon’s legendary K-35s, FDs, and rare FD-X lenses, along with the unique Yashica FD-X 45mm, all in robust PL housings designed for modern production. Cinematographers value these lenses for their fast apertures, warm tones, and expressive vintage character—ranging from the Academy Award-winning look of the K-35s to the organic rendering of the FDs and FD-X glass. By assembling these icons into one matched set, the Dream Set gives filmmakers access to a complete toolkit of Canon’s most cinematic optics, each with its own nuance yet unified by TLS’s precise engineering. This collection represents the pinnacle of Canon vintage cinema glass, now fully production-ready. Available to rent or sub-rent from Cine Visuals.

Image Fidelity & Focus
Modern optics typically have a stronger, cleaner, and more precise approach to their coatings due to differing demands in the various optics-based industries (film is just one of these) and the aid of computers. The Super Spectra Coatings of the Canon K35s and FD lenses brings that nostalgic, organic gentleness that feels so human. The focus falloff is subtle, allowing for a softness that is imperceptible and yet adds the extra ingredient that brings that special touch. Capturing of light brings gentle rolloff in the highlights and strong but not overpowering shadows. Skin tones feel warm with a dreamy pastel color rendition.
Flare & Bokeh
With their impressive iris-blade count and Super Spectra Coatings, the bokeh remains circular from wide open to stopped all the way down. Reliable, beautiful, pastel, and painterly. Large, creamy, and illustrious circles that have the most pleasing bend around the edges to create a balanced swirl. Flares are subtle, and yet expressive. Amber, gold, violet, and magenta hues are gently cast across the frame in a show of colors that bring painterly strokes without overwhelming the image.
Handling & Adaptability
Every focal length in all three of these matching sets – the K35s, the FDs, and the FD-X, – all have a front diameter of 110mm. The majority of the focal lengths are between 3-4 inches in length and 2-4 lbs. TLS’s reputation for smooth, buttery focus and iris rings is met with these lenses and provides ease-of-mind and confidence in operation. A 330 degree focus throw allows accurate focus pulling that can meet the demands of high speed production. With 11 focal lengths in the TLS Canon Vintage K35/FD/FD-X set, cinematographers have the wide range they need to capture each frame with the utmost precision.
Image Circle
Originally designed to cover 35mm film photography, these classic lenses have become an essential in the modern cinema space of large format shooting. The majority of the focal lengths cover a 46mm image circle, more than enough for the ARRI LF or Mini LF sensor. With the exception of the K35 18mm focal length which can reliably be supplemented by the FD-X 18mm that easily covers Full Frame.
Cinematic Heritage
Investing deeply into mechanical design, and optics, Canon brought about the FD mount lenses in 1971. One of the secret sauces that Canon cooked is their Super Spectra Coating that gives the glass that beautiful level of contrast and balanced flare control. No wonder they used the same glass for their cinema line in the K35s. As such, TLS’s rehoused FD lenses match perfectly with the K35s, as their base glass comes from the same stock.
