FULL-FRAME LENSES
ARRI SIGNATURE PRIMES
While the Signature Primes exemplify state-of-the-art optical precision, they have been designed to render organic, emotionally engaging images, gently softening and texturizing the large format with natural skin tones and creamy bokeh. A fast T-stop of T1.8 facilitates shallow depth of field and the smooth focus fall-off gives subjects heightened presence in the frame. These lenses feature a native LPL mount.

TRIBE7 LENSES
Blackwing7 lens tuning allows parameters such as sharpness, contrast, focus roll-off, spherical aberration, field curvature, edge halation and flare to be modified to provide sets of “curated” optics to suit the personality and style of the cinematographer.
Many of the design cues for Blackwing7 primes originate in optics manufactured during the 1930 – 1960s. There are three basic lens options: S (Standard), T (Transient) and X (eXpressive). The optics on our T-set are single coated to suit a 1950s style, and are tuned with a higher degree of Blackwing7 pupil flare (most notably on 37mm, 57mm and 77mm focal lengths).

CANON RANGEFINDER PRIMES
Rehoused by TLS
Originally developed in the 1960s for Canon rangefinder cameras, these lenses have been given new life with their TLS rehousing.
Previously the flange distance was too short for PL mount cameras, but the LPL mount has changed that. The set has been built around the legendary 50mm f/0.95. Dubbed ‘the dream lens’, this incredibly fast, single coated, lens renders your images with an ethereal quality.
The surrounding focal lengths have been hand picked to match optically. The set boasts amber flares, low contrast, gradual fall off, and a pleasant softness when used wide open.
We have LPL mounts available for the majority of our cameras in inventory, and they are available upon request.

CANON K35 PRIMES
Rehoused by Zero Optik
Now available with Zero Optik rehousing featuring unified gear placement, cooke-style focus cams, 95mm front diameter, and improved close focus.
The K-35 lenses were manufactured by Canon during the 1970's and 80's and won an Academy Award in 1976. These lenses were used on many large sets such as “Alien”(1986), “American Hustle” (2013), and "Her" (2013).
The high-speed optical design of the K-35 series is a perfect example of Canon’s optical expertise and fine lens design. The K-35 primes have slightly less contrast compared to modern lenses but the standout feature is the unique ability to cover full frame sensors (excluding the 18mm).

CANON FD PRIMES
Rehoused by Zero Optik
These highly sought after 1970’s Canon FD primes have been rehoused by Zero Optik with uniform gear placement and a new 16-blade iris. Sharing many of the same unique characteristics, they make the perfect companion set to our Canon K35’s.

LEICA R PRIMES - EF Mount
Originally developed for the Leicaflex SLR line, these still lenses often fell short of appreciation due to their infamous M mount counterparts. Now with the advent of digital cinematography these once overlooked gems have found new appreciation.
Currently available in EF mount as they await rehousing, the Leica Rs are perfect for travel, or gimbal work where you need a compact build, but can’t afford to sacrifice quality.
This set of 6 primes offers several advantages over others; fantastic close focus, a light-weight and small form factor, and the distinct Leica image rendition.

+Leica R 24mm F/2.8
+Leica R 35mm F/1.4
+Leica R 50mm F/1.4
+Leica R 80mm F/1.4

KOWA-R FF
Despite the well known ‘Kowa’ name, these lenses are a rather unique set. The donor glass was originally designed for the Kowa SET-R cameras between 1968-1974. Not many sets were made, and even fewer are available today. Each lens has a sharp center, with pleasing falloff and vignetting. Bold eyelash flares with purple and gold caustics, with warm skin tones make them a great choice for portraiture.
Here the optics have been rehoused by TLS giving them new life. Consistent 110mm front diameters, 14 blade irises, and standard 0.8mm gearing make them a joy to use on set.
