TLS Y/K-35 Special 45mm T1.5 Lens

K-35 optics are immensely popular for their combination of smooth dimming and low contrast with beautiful flare and sharp images. These TLS repossessed vintage lenses are extraordinarily popular for their ability to cover full-frame sensors. They can be used for both independent productions and big budget productions.

With Full Frame coverage, the TLS Y/K-35 Special 45mm T1.5 lens has been redesigned by True Lens Service in London, providing mechanical redesigns that protect vintage glass in the most demanding settings. Exceptional flare, beautiful skin tones, and 15-sided iris create an unrivaled addition to these 1960s lenses, bridging the gap between 35mm and 55mm.

Built in response to the success of Zeiss Super Speeds, the K-35s won an Academy Award in 1977 for engineering innovation. K-35 optics have been used on classics like Alien (1986) and Barry Lyndon for their sharpness and creamy smooth drop. They continue to be used in modern movies like American Hustle and Her.

The K-35s are known for their smooth fall and beautiful rendering of skin tones. Like most vintage lenses, K-35s are warm with gold, amber, and magenta flashes. The TLS Y/K-35 Special 45mm T1.5 Lens provide a smoother, creamier feel than modern glass, yet provide full frame coverage.
