Features

 

The Canon FD Cine Lens Set of 7, rehoused by TLS (True Lens Services), is a collection of vintage prime lenses from the 1970s that have been expertly converted for modern cinematography. The original still photography lenses are prized for their unique vintage aesthetic, but the TLS rehousing transforms them into robust cinema lenses with professional mechanics. This allows filmmakers to achieve a classic, inviting "look" that is often preferred over the more sterile, corrected image of modern cinema lenses. 
 
Lens characteristics and image quality
  • Vintage Look: The lenses are known for their warm, pleasing tones, inviting image quality, and soft, natural rendering of skin tones. They offer a similar character and sharpness to the legendary Canon K-35 lenses but with a superior focus throw.
  • Bokeh and Flare: The rehousing process replaces the original irises with new 16-blade circular irises, which ensures that bokeh remains smooth and circular even when stopped down. The lenses also produce pleasing, large, and circular bokeh. Flares are described as artistic and subtle, with a warmer, organic tonality.
  • Coverage: The lenses offer full-frame coverage, making them compatible with modern full-frame digital cameras. 
 
Technical features from TLS rehousing
  • Chassis and Construction: TLS rehouses the original vintage glass into robust, modern, chassis-style cinema housings. These housings are constructed with durable materials like aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and brass for a long service life.
  • Standardized Design: The rehousing creates consistency across the lens set, including unified gear positions, a consistent front diameter (often 125mm), and a PL or LPL mount for compatibility with professional cinema cameras.
  • Improved Mechanics: The rehousing provides a cam-driven focus system with an extended 300-degree focus throw for precise focus pulls. It also features de-clicked aperture rings and eliminates backlash and image shift for repeatable focus marks.

The Canon FD TLS (True Lens Services) rehoused 7-lens set features vintage 1970s Canon FD prime optics in modern cine-style housings, with a PL mount for professional use. It offers a "vintage look" with pleasing tones, soft skin-tone rendering, and full-frame coverage. TLS replaces the original irises with 16-blade circular irises for smooth, circular bokeh. Because these lenses are a rehousing of vintage glass, there can be variation within sets, as the base optics were not always identical. Some sets may include FD-X lenses, which use alternative vintage glass, such as Minolta or Yashica, that TLS has modified to better match the rest of the set's look and performance. General characteristics Optics: Vintage 1970s Canon FD prime lenses, some potentially sourced as FD-X optics. Housing: A robust, modern cine-style chassis by TLS, designed for professional use. Image Coverage: Full-frame. Certain lenses in some sets may also fully or partially cover medium format. Mount: PL mount. Focus System: Cam-driven focus system for smooth, accurate, and repeatable focus throws. Iris: 16-blade circular iris provides smooth, circular bokeh. Standardized Design: Consistent front ring diameter and gear placement across lenses in a set for easier and faster rigging. RENT Canon FD TLS Rehoused 7-Lens Kit w/14, 20, 24, 35 ...
