We have 9 focal lengths: 18mm, 25mm, 32mm, 40mm, 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 152mm, and 203mm – as well as 3 Tele Panchros: 317mm, 406mm, and 560mm. They have a coverage of Super 35 and feature a PL mount. These lenses are known for their warm vintage character, unique bokeh, and focus falloff. Perfect imperfections is what makes these lenses special, with wear and age only complimenting their look, warmer cast, creamier skintones, and for expressive flaring then modern Speed Panchros. With TLS you get the undeniable visual character of actual age without the annoyance and unknown of vintage housings. Industry standard rehousing combined with industry adored vintage glass. Combine these lenses with original Cooke Varotal zooms or the Canon K35 Zoom for a complete spectrum of vintage offerings. These lenses can be rented individually, partially, or as a full set from 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.
