TLS COOKE PANCHRO SET OF 8

The TLS Cooke Speed Panchro lens set represents the “gold standard” of vintage lens rehousing. True Lens Services (TLS) takes original Cooke Speed Panchro glass (Series II and III) from the 1920s–1960s and transplants it into modern, high-precision cinema housings.
The result is a set of lenses that retains the legendary “Cooke Look”—characterized by warm skin tones, painterly bokeh, and a gentle focus fall-off—while providing the mechanical reliability required for high-end digital cinema productions.

Key Features:

Modern Mechanics: Replaced archaic housings with a robust “cam-driven” focus system, ensuring smooth, repeatable focus pulls with zero image shift or backlash.
Standardized Workflow: All lenses in the set feature matching 110mm front diameters and standardized 0.8 MOD gearing for focus and iris, allowing for quick lens changes without moving follow-focus motors or matte boxes.
The “Cooke Look”: Retains the vintage optical soul—specifically the low contrast, pleasing flares, and “creamy” textures that flatter human faces better than modern, “surgically sharp” lenses.
Durability: Constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum, stainless steel, and brass, making these delicate vintage optics tough enough for modern sets.
PL Mount Integration: Native PL mounts with shimmable precision, making them compatible with all professional cinema cameras (ARRI, RED, Sony, etc.).
Super 35mm Coverage: Primarily designed for Super 35mm sensors, though longer focal lengths (like the 75mm and 100mm) can often cover larger formats.
