The Canon 50mm f/0.95 “Dream Lens”, rehoused by True Lens Services (TLS), is a cinematic rebirth of one of the fastest photographic lenses ever made. Originally released in the 1960s for the Canon 7 rangefinder, its massive f/0.95 aperture earned it the “Dream Lens” moniker for its ethereal, low-contrast rendering and razor-thin depth of field. TLS has transformed this vintage masterpiece into a robust, professional cinema tool, replacing the original proprietary mount with a modern LPL mount and a precision cam-driven focus system.
Key Features:
Ultra-Fast T1.1 Aperture: Retains the legendary light-gathering power and iconic “glow” of the original f/0.95 glass.
Precision TLS Rehousing: Features a durable aluminum alloy and stainless steel chassis with standard 110mm front diameter for easy matte box compatibility.
Cam-Driven Focus System: Offers a smooth, 300-degree focus rotation with zero image shift or backlash, ideal for precise follow-focus pulls.
New Circular Iris: Often fitted with a multi-blade circular iris to ensure perfectly round, “painterly” bokeh highlights across all T-stops.
Full Frame Coverage: Covers large-format sensors (up to 8K VV), making it compatible with modern cinema cameras like the ARRI Alexa Mini LF or RED V-Raptor.
Improved Close Focus: TLS engineering significantly improves the minimum focus distance compared to the original rangefinder version.
LPL Mount: Utilizes the LPL mount to accommodate the large rear optical element without sacrificing the lens’s unique character or image circle.
