TLS Series 1 Cooke Speed Panchros
Lensworks Recently took delivery on a complete set of early 1940s-1950s Cooke Speed Panchro Series 1 lenses!
Minimum 3 lens rental
Features
Lenses are optically excellent and color matched.
Color Temperature is Neutral / Warm
Light blue / purple warm flares
Large set, 8 focal lengths, plus telepanchro 152 avail.
These lenses are fantastic on the Alexa, beautiful contrast with just enough sharpness and a warm flare
Lenses are similar to the B&L baltars but with faster stops and better optical designs
The 75mm in this set has no yellowing, clear glass
Lenses have very special curved field affect, giving a "cats eye" bokeh, most pronounced in the 28,35,40,50
The Lens coatings were designed for handling high contrast lighting situations of the early days of film, low ASA shooting and very strong and contrasty lights. This means they hold highlights better than many other lenses and also do not get overly contrasty in strong/harsh lighting situations
The TLS lenses have a Cam follower design and common 110mm fronts. The mechanical action on these lenses is incredible -- just like a modern S4 lens with smooth and many spaced out focus marks.
