This five-lens set, spanning 18mm through 85mm, delivers the warm, three-dimensional rendering, silky bokeh, and distinctive optical character that have made the K35 High Speed series one of the most sought-after vintage lens collections in professional cinema history. Rebuilt to exacting tolerances with industry-standard gear rings, consistent front diameters, and PL mount compatibility, this set is an extraordinary choice for feature films, prestige television, and high-end commercials demanding the irreplaceable magic of classic Canon High Speed glass on modern large-format and Super 35 camera platforms.
Key Features:
The Canon K35 High Speed optical formula delivers faster maximum apertures than the standard K35 set, providing exceptional low-light capability and an even shallower, more enveloping depth of field with the signature warm K35 rendering.
TLS’s meticulous rehousing process preserves all original optical elements in pristine condition while adding industry-standard 0.8M focus gear rings and consistent front diameters across the entire set.
PL mount compatibility ensures seamless integration with leading professional cinema cameras, including ARRI, RED, and Sony VENICE platforms, without the need for additional adapters.
The K35 High Speed lenses are renowned for their distinctive flare character, gentle contrast rendering, and painterly focus fall-off, producing a timeless cinematic image quality that modern optics cannot replicate.
All five lenses share consistent color rendition and optical character, ensuring a unified, cohesive visual language when interchanging focal lengths throughout a production.
The robust TLS rehousing provides the durability and tactile precision demanded on professional sets, dramatically improving the handling, consistency, and serviceability of the original vintage barrels.
The rare High Speed designation makes this set particularly exceptional and collectible, representing one of the most distinguished vintage cinema lens configurations available on the professional market today.
