The TLS Cooke Speed Panchro set is a masterclass in blending vintage soul with modern precision. True Lens Services (TLS) takes original Cooke Speed Panchro optics (Series II and III) from the 1920s–1960s and rehouses them into robust, professional cinema housings that meet contemporary production standards. This 7-lens set is world-renowned for “The Cooke Look”—a warm, organic aesthetic that remains the gold standard for rendering skin tones and creating a “painterly” feel.

Key Features:

Authentic “Cooke Look” Optics: By utilizing original 1950s glass, these lenses deliver a warm, “painterly” aesthetic with a gentle focus roll-off and pleasing flares that cannot be perfectly replicated by modern digital sensors or post-production.
Precision Cam-Style Focus System: The award-winning internal focus mechanism provides zero backlash and no image shift, giving focus pullers high-accuracy marks that remain consistent regardless of direction change.
Standardized Cinema Housing: All lenses feature a uniform 110mm front diameter and identical gear positions for focus and iris (0.8 MOD), allowing for lightning-fast lens swaps without readjusting matte boxes or follow-focus motors.
Modern Mechanical Durability: Built from stainless steel, brass, and aircraft-grade aluminum, the rehousing transforms delicate vintage glass into a “workhorse” set capable of withstanding the rigors of modern, high-pressure film sets.
Optimized Close Focus: The TLS engineering often improves upon the original minimum object distance, allowing for intimate, warm close-ups with a unique sense of depth and character.
Universal Compatibility: Upgraded with high-grade stainless steel PL mounts, these vintage optics are easily mounted to any modern cinema camera system, from ARRI Alexas to RED V-Raptors.
