The Lomo Super Speed set is a staple of vintage cinema, characterized by a fast T/1.3 to T/1.5 aperture across the core focal lengths. Manufactured in the USSR, these lenses are famous for their “Oksypa” optical designs, producing organic skin tones, expressive flares, and a gentle roll-off in highlights. While they provide impressive sharpness when stopped down, shooting wide open introduces a dreamy, low-contrast look with a beautiful internal glow, making them a favorite for music videos and stylized narrative features.
Key Features:
Ultra-Fast High-Speed Apertures: These lenses feature exceptionally fast apertures, with high-speed glass ranging from a wide-open T/1.3 to T/2.2. This makes them an ideal choice for challenging low-light environments or for cinematographers looking to achieve an incredibly shallow depth of field that separates subjects from the background with a soft, cinematic fall-off.
Distinctive Vintage Optical Character: Renowned for their “Soviet” soul, these optics produce a world-class vintage character. They are famous for their unique, expressive flares that react dynamically to point light sources, as well as a signature bokeh shape and organic texture that adds a rich, filmic layer to digital sensors that modern, clinically perfect lenses cannot replicate.
Versatile and Comprehensive Focal Range: This is a truly versatile 7-lens set designed to handle any narrative requirement. The collection provides a seamless transition from extreme wide-angle perspectives at 18mm all the way through to compressed telephoto portraiture at 100mm, ensuring that the visual language remains consistent across an entire production.
Universal PL Mount Compatibility: While originally manufactured with Soviet-style mounts, most of these sets have been professionally converted or rehoused to the industry-standard PL mount. This ensures full compatibility with modern cinema cameras and high-end mirrorless systems, allowing these vintage treasures to be used on the latest digital cinema sensors without the need for cumbersome adapters.
Compact and Lightweight Form Factor: Despite their high-speed performance, these lenses maintain a relatively small and lightweight footprint compared to their bulky modern counterparts. Their compact size makes them perfect for handheld operating, tight gimbal setups, or drone work where keeping the camera package mobile and balanced is a high priority for the crew.
