FNFP - Secure Your Future

Aaron Farrugia DOP:
“What a dream to get to work in Fiji filming a TVC with some of my besties and long-time collaborators. We have done quite a number of travel jobs together and fine-tuned our travel kit with a Ronin, Alexa 35, Atlas Mercury lenses, and a small lighting/rigging kit. We were able to keep a small footprint, flight-friendly, and still capture some magic. It was certainly the road trip travelling from the south of the mainland all the way up the west coast and to the north, filming at
some amazing places and spending time with many locals along the way.”

New gear Friday…TLS Canon FD-X 10mm T3 Full Frame

Responding to the demand for an ultra-wide option to use alongside the Canon FD and K35 ranges, TLS has introduced the Canon 10mm FD-X! This unique creation covers Alexa Mini LF OG, with an image circle of 45mm.

TLS combined optical elements from the Canon 14mm EF MkI and the Angenieux Wide Angle adapter, merging both designs to achieve a truly distinctive result with the bespoke optical assembly being carefully tuned to maintain visual consistency with the rest of the Canon FD series.
The result is a 10mm lens that delivers exceptional image coverage and the signature Canon FD aesthetic; warm flares and skin tones, soft edges, and medium contrast.

The TLS FD-X 10mm T3 is now available for rental at The Vision House

Vintage Zeiss Lenses and TLS Rehousing

Zeiss cinema lenses have long been pioneers in the film industry, setting benchmarks for optical excellence and reliability that have shaped the look of modern cinematography. From their early innovations in precision glass manufacturing to the development of iconic lens lines like the Super Speeds and Ultra Primes, Zeiss consistently push the boundaries of what lenses could deliver in sharpness, contrast, and low-light performance.

Although Zeiss’ commitment to mechanical durability was valued for their time, as the lenses age, their mechanical performance is waning. This is where True Lens Services come in. By rehousing the classic vintage glass into the new precision mechanical housings, the process gives the classic optics a new lease of life for modern film sets.

An important factor in rehousing the cine lens is to keep the lens as close to its original look as possible, and by keeping the original iris of the vintage lenses, it allows filmmakers who are familiar with the original lens to feel confident in the newly rehoused lens. The rehousing process also offers us, as a rental company, a unique opportunity to create a lens set that is different from any others in the world. We took the opportunity when rehousing our Zeiss Contax AE lenses to provide the lens set with a consistent ‘ninja star’ iris design that was available in some of the early focal lengths of the AE version lenses. This not only offers a unique look to the bokeh and out of focus areas, but also keeps the lens look consistent between focal lengths.

We have a full line up of vintage and modern Zeiss lenses, in S35 and Full Frame coverage, so get in contact to tests some amazing lenses for your next production.
