No other lens has the beautiful and unique look of vintage Cooke Speed Panchros. They are known for how well they render faces, and for their painterly quality. These are the lenses responsible for the term "The Cooke Look." They are as sharp as you need a lens to be, but still very flattering. They have a gentle focus roll-off and are just a little warm. They have the perfect amount of barrel distortion and vignette. These are often the lens of choice for shooting close-ups of faces.

Mechanically speaking the TLS housings are as good as it gets, with incredibly smooth focus movement and very close minimum focus distances for every focal length. These lenses are a joy to work with, and they will give your project a unique look, that makes it stand out from the pack.
