Features:
Vintage Optical Characteristics:
Warm Tones and Low Contrast: Super Baltars are celebrated for their warm color rendition and a gentle, medium-to-low contrast that is incredibly flattering, especially for skin tones.
Pleasing Bokeh: They produce a consistently beautiful, textured bokeh with a smooth focus roll-off that makes subjects pop while the background becomes soft and painterly.
Distinctive Flares: The lenses have a trademark blue, purple, and amber coating that creates unique, cinematic flares when a light source hits the front element.
Organic Imperfections: Unlike modern, clinically sharp lenses, they have softer edges and a subtle glow, giving the image an organic, dreamy quality.
Modern TLS Rehousing Features:
Robust and Consistent Mechanics: The new housings are durable and designed with a cam-drive focus system that provides a smooth, reliable, and repeatable focus pull.
Standardized Design: All lenses in the set have a common front diameter (usually 110mm) and matching gear positions for focus and iris, making them compatible with modern matte boxes and follow focus systems.
Improved Close Focus: The rehousing process often allows for a much closer minimum focus distance than the original lenses, adding to their versatility.
PL Mount Compatibility: They are rehoused with a modern PL mount, ensuring they can be used with a wide range of professional cinema cameras.
