TLS ZEISS CONTAX AE CUSTOM SUPER SPEEDS - FULL FRAME

The Zeiss Contax lenses, introduced in the 1970s, quickly gained a reputation for their exceptional optical performance. Featuring Zeiss’s T* coatings, these lenses offer sharpness, contrast, and vibrant colour rendition.

Known for their excellent coverage and organic character, they earned the nickname “full frame Super Speeds”.

Originally designed for still photography, the Contax lenses have been embraced by the cinematography world for their beautiful colour rendering and unique bokeh. Their ability to handle full-frame sensors makes them ideal for filmmakers seeking a classic, organic feel.

True Lens Services has transformed these vintage lenses into cine lenses, maintaining their optical performance while enhancing functionality for modern film production.

With features such as 300 degrees of focus rotation, repeatable focus scales, and a fixed 95mm front, these premium, hand-crafted lenses offer unmatched quality.

The Zeiss Contax Custom AE Super Speeds set on offer at The Vision House have all been fitted with a custom Ninja Blade shape iris group that were found in the older AE mid range focal lengths.

The iris resolves to be a very unique ninja blade bokeh one stop in from wide open T stop through to T8 on all focal lengths before resolving as a hexagon style bokeh.

The bulk of the TLS Contax Custom lens set on offer will cover 50mm+ diagonal coverage allowing use on ARRI 265, Black Magic 65 and other large format cameras.
