OVERVIEW
DEFINING CINEMATIC IMAGERY
Originally born in the 1920s and 1930s, Cooke Speed Panchros defined cinematic imagery for decades, and the TLS rehousings preserve that vintage DNA while delivering modern mechanical precision.
ROMANTIC TEXTURE
Slightly lower contrast, subtle flaring, and a gentle tonal palette give these lenses a timeless quality. T2.3 across much of the range, they’re not about ultimate sharpness; rather, they excel in producing a softer, more romantic texture that many DPs have sought to recapture in the digital era. These lenses have contributed to a range of period pieces and art-house productions, evoking the tactile feel of older film stocks and adding an unmistakable depth of character to contemporary storytelling.
