Features:
Preserved Vintage Optics: The original Bausch & Lomb Super Baltar glass is retained, delivering their signature warm tones, low contrast, soft edges, and distinctive flaring.
Modern PL Mount: Equipped with a new stainless steel PL mount, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of modern cinema cameras.
Robust Housing: Housed in high-grade aluminum alloy and stainless steel for enhanced durability and longevity on set.
Smooth Cam Focus Drive: Features a new cam form focus drive, providing incredibly smooth and precise focus pulls with a large rotation (often around 300 degrees). This design minimizes backlash and image shift.
Consistent Mechanics: Uniform 0.8 module gears on both focus and iris rings across the set, making them compatible with modern follow focus units and lens control systems.
Unified Front Diameter: Many sets are rehoused with a standard 110mm front diameter, simplifying matte box and filter changes.
Engraved Dual Scales: Clear, engraved dual focus scales (metric and imperial options) for easy readability by focus pullers.
Improved Close Focus: In some rehousing processes, the minimum object distance (MOD) is improved, allowing for closer focusing.
Optimized for Digital Sensors: While vintage, their characteristics are often praised for “taking the edge off” the sharpness of modern digital sensors, creating a more organic and pleasing image.
Iconic Cinematic Look: Known for their use in classic films like “The Godfather,” they impart a sought-after romantic and dreamy quality to footage.
