Bring a piece of history to your next production

A Zeiss vintage lens in a modern film production can bring a piece of history to a project by infusing it with the visual characteristics and aesthetics that defined an earlier period. The imperfections in vintage lenses add texture and mood to modern films, which can be particularly valuable in genres such as drama, romance or period pieces where atmosphere play a crucial role.

Fun Fact

Zeiss Contax lenses were born of a 1970s collaboration between Japanese manufacturer Yashica and Carl Zeiss to produce a new, professional 35mm SLR camera and associated lenses, all bearing the Contax brand name.

(to John Hofsess of the New York Times)

“Rehousing my Zeiss B-Speeds with TLS felt like bringing them back to life, giving me the modern mechanics I needed without losing the soul of the lenses I cherish. Together we captured Richard Gere's final breath on 'Oh Canada' with an intimacy and texture that's uniquely mine”
