Prime - Spherical - Super 35
product details
The Super Baltar vintage prime lenses, rehoused by TLS, are widely known for their soft and warm vintage character that has become popular amongst modern cinematographers. With an impressive T2.3 and large image circle, these lenses have found a resurgence in the digital world, when attempting to capture a vintage and eclectic look. Covering 4.6k on the Alexa 35, and 3.4k on the Alexa mini, these lenses are compatible with a wide range of modern resolutions and cameras.
The lenses have iconic vintage blue/purple coatings which result in images that are warm in tone and flares are a beautiful blue or purple depending. They have a punchy, contrasty and sharp center, with a pleasing and character-full dropoff towards the edges of the frame. Spanning work from “The Godfather (1972)” to “Rush (2013)” these lenses have proven to have a timeless look. These lenses will provide your audience with a classic and distinctive retro look, with a warm feel, medium contrast and unique flare characteristics. The Super Baltars are available to rent or sub-rent from Cine Visuals as full sets, partial sets, or as single lenses.

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.
