Here’s an overview of the exciting new offerings:

1. Bausch & Lomb Super Baltar Set

The Super Baltar lenses are truly vintage, going all the way back to the 1950’s. You already know they can’t compare to modern glass in the way of sharpness. Instead, the lenses can give you a very unique soft look, almost like you’re using a Black Pro-Mist filter, with [lenty of flare.

2. Canon K-35 Lens Set

These Canon K-35 are fast, vintage cinema lenses from the 70’s, and they were used to shoot the 1986 film, Aliens. While they’re not as sharp as modern lenses, they do offer up a contrast that might be just the ticket for your next project.

3. Cooke Speed Panchro

The Cooke Speed Panchros were used by Kubrick, Cassavetes, and many other Hollywood directors. The Panchros offer the classic Cooke look, “a sharp, subtle, smooth rendering that provides dimensionality and high contrast, and pleases the eye,” and sometimes described as “warm and romantic”. So if you’re looking for that beautiful, classic film look, the Cooke Speed Panchros won’t let you down!
