Cooke Speed Panchro Lenses Rehoused by TLS

Cooke Speed Panchro Lenses is where the "Cooke Look" started. Originally introduced in the 1930's, Speed Panchros are know for the beautiful flares, flattering focus fall off, and warm images. They deliver images that are sharp enough for modern cameras while being low contrast to smooth out the image. Our Cooke Speed Panchro Lenses are a combination of Series II and III lenses. The two series are very similar and are easily mixed and matched with no issues. 

This set of Cooke Speed Panchro Lenses have been rehoused by TLS. They have a cam driven focus system and chassis style lens housing. This allows matte boxes and other accessories to be attached to the front of the lens, all without affecting focus movement. Other benefits are zero backlash and image shift, allowing for an accurate dual focus scale that is repeatable no matter the direction the focus is turned. A large external barrel gives space for a wide spread of markings through the focus scale. Built using aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and brass with robust construction, these rehousings guarantee a long serviceable life.
