The TLS Rehoused Canon K35 Set of 5 represents one of the most coveted vintage cinema lens collections available today, preserving the extraordinary optical character of Canon’s iconic K35 primes — originally manufactured in the late 1970s — within a precision-engineered modern housing by True Lens Services that makes them fully practical for contemporary professional production. This five-lens set, spanning 18mm through 85mm and featuring the rare Fast 18mm variant, delivers the warm, three-dimensional rendering, smooth focus fall-off, and distinctive flare characteristics that have made the K35 series a legendary choice on landmark Hollywood productions for decades. Rebuilt to exacting tolerances with industry-standard gear rings, consistent front diameters, and PL mount compatibility, these lenses are a premier choice for feature films, prestige television, and high-end commercials seeking irreplaceable vintage optical magic on modern large-format and Super 35 camera platforms.

Key Features:
The original Canon K35 optical formula delivers a uniquely warm, three-dimensional image quality with smooth, organic bokeh and a painterly rendering that is widely regarded as among the finest vintage cinema glass ever produced.
The inclusion of the rare Fast 18mm variant makes this set particularly exceptional, offering an ultra-wide perspective with a faster maximum aperture than the standard K35 18mm for superior low-light performance.
TLS’s meticulous rehousing process preserves the original optical elements in pristine condition while adding industry-standard 0.8M focus gear rings and consistent front diameters across all five lenses.
PL mount compatibility ensures seamless integration with a wide range of professional cinema cameras, including ARRI, RED, and Sony VENICE platforms, without the need for additional adapters.
The K35 lenses are celebrated for their distinctive, characterful flare behavior and gentle contrast rendering, producing images with a timeless cinematic quality that modern lens designs struggle to 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 reliability demanded on professional sets, dramatically improving on the handling and serviceability of the original vintage barrels.
