RENT Canon FD TLS Rehoused 7-Lens Kit with 14mm, 20mm, 24mm, 35mm, 55mm, 85mm and 135mm Lens, PL Mount

This is a complete set of 1970s Canon FD primes rehoused by TLS. By now the secret is out that Canon FD lenses are a perfect fit for cinematography, especially Full Frame cinematography. The 55mm f1.2, and 85mm f1.2 aspherical lenses are siblings of the legendary K35s. So whether you are looking for a more affordable option to K35s, or you need additional focal lengths to compliment our K35s, these are a perfect choice. The housings are exactly the same as the housings for our K35s, so they will integrate seamlessly.

TLSis now replacing the original 8-blade irises with new 16-blade irises. So not only does your bokeh stay circular when stopped down, they also make the set more consistent from lens to lens. In the original FDs the 8-blade iris gives your bokeh a stop-sign shape to pin-point highlights.

Most of the set consists of the oldest, and much sought after SSC versions of each lens. The lenses were hand-picked by us for optical quality but also to insure the set matches from lens to lens. There are MANY versions of the 28mm, 35mm and 50mm/55mm for example. We have the knowledge to know not only which lenses produce the most beautiful look, but also which lenses make the most sense for acomplete set.

The 18mm T1.5 and 35mm T1.6 in our set are part of our new FD-X lenses (the X meaning eXtended), which are additional focal lengths we havedeveloped with TLS to fill in some of the gaps in the original FD lineup. Since The 55mm, and 85mm were available in high-speed aspherical versions, we wanted to fill out these amazing lenses with focal lengths that match their look and performance.

The 18mm is our ownoptical recipe, and you will not find this lens anywhere else in the world. The lens consists of genuine 1970s Canon FD elements, with some additional optics toused to create a high speed, aspherical, vintage lens, that covers Full Frame sensors, even RED Monstro. The 35mm is a Minolta lens from the 1980s. It's also a Japanese-made, aspherical lens, with performance, bokeh, and flare character very similar to the 55mm, and 85mm FDs.

We offer these lens as an option to the slower Canon FD 20mm T2.9 and 35mm T2.2. For the purist, the original Canon FDs might be better. But if you need a faster lens that better matches the other high speed lenses in the set, the FD-X lenses are a great option. With these two FD-X primes, you have a complete set of vintage, high-speed, full frame lenses, in a very complete set: 18mm, 35mm, 55mm, 85mm.

We also have a Canon FD 300mm f2.8, converted to PL mount by Century Precision Optics. Century also replaced the original 9-blade iris for an 18-blade iris, for perfectly round bokeh at any stop. All the lenses have Full Frame coverage.
