Building upon the heritage of the past, our lenses provide character, distinctiveness and a look that will stand the test of time.
Ironglass Soviets MK2
Masterfully rehoused by Ironglass in Ukraine, this MK2 rehousing shine a light on the incredible work done by their small but dedicated team to greatly improve the mechanics.
The set includes the legendary Helios 44-2, but also the Helios 40-2 bokeh monster and the Grand Prix Brussels winner Mir-1B. It’s more than well rounded with the dark horse Mir 10A and the crazy Mir 20M.
Used on Dune 2 and The Batman, this is a character loaded set that’s really magical.
Zeiss - Contax SS
**Coming in 2024**
Creating the perfect balance between crystal clear focus and vintage personnality, this kit is definitely a great choice for commercials that require a clean, yet distinctive look. The fast aperture is much appreciated in low-light situations and with the new 14 blade iris on all lenses, bokeh is consistent throughout the set. No more Ninja-Star Bokeh. 95mm OD for all focal lenghts.
A real gem rebirthed for use on modern cinema cameras.
Olympus OM
**Coming in 2024**
Crafted by the visionnary Yoshihisa Maitani, the Olympus OM are state of the art lenses with the most comprehensive and extended lens set designed during that era. Delivering painterly images with pleasing skin tones, the OM’s share a common secret : their magical rendering when used wide open… it’s that touch of ‘‘wow’’ that’s hard to describe. Truly unique flares, good contrast and great sharpness with a slight warm touch to the frame.
Get inspired by the dream of a Japanese man and honour his vision through this glass.
Great Joy Anamorphic
Don’t be mistaken by the catchy name, Chinese optics are becoming really impressive at a quick pace.
This 1.8x Full Frame anamorphic set from Great Joy is part of that new age of anamorphic lenses.
These lenses have a pleasingly clean image, with just the right amount of flares and character.
It’s really good wide-open, so the T2.9 maximum aperture is not a catch. It’s more than useable.
Anamorphics made accessible.
Chiopt full frame zoom
Modern full frame cinema zooms have been quite rare since the rising of full frame cinema cameras. Chinese company Chiopt decided to take the matter in their own hands and paved the way for a new generation of lens manufacturers.
Their first iteration is the Chiopt Extreme 28-85 t3.2 Full Frame cinema Zoom.
Literally combining 4 crucial lenses into 1, the Extreme zoom is a massive piece of a lens that offers a convenient range with a decently fast t3.2 aperture.
**Matching 75-250 t3.2 coming soon**
Lomo Standart Speed
USSR optics used to have a somehow bad reputation until recently. Once the mystery was cracked, those who jumped in started loving the creamy and expressive image produced by them.
The set we have here is a comprehensive one, formed by some of the best available optical blocks LOMO’s had to offer. The rehousing allows to have mostly unified front across the set, 0.8pitch gearing on iris and focus rings and the industry standart shimmable PL mount.
Fall in love with these USSR gems.

Nisi has started making moves in the filters and camera accessories world and is amongst the most trustand brands in that field.

DZO Arles Primes
DZOFILM is one of those lens manufacturers that seem to hit the spot every single time.
All the way back in 2019 they released the Linglung zoom and since that release they kept innovating.
In 2024, they announced the Arles Primes, a complete set of super speed T1.4 vista vision coverage prime lenses with focal lengths ranging from 14mm all the way to 180mm. A comprehensive set indeed!

Laowa Pro2Be lenses
The original Laowa Probe 24mm T14 had a tremendous impact on cinematography when it was released. Without any lower budget options, many cinematographers couldn’t really experience the probe style shots and Laowa answered again.
With the mission of releasing a new version of their super popular probe lens, Laowa stepped their game and came out with the Laowa Pro2Be. The biggest and most massive difference is withing ths T. stop. The new Pro2Be boasts a T8 aperture, a whole 1 and 2/3 stops of light more than it’s predecessor.
The same lens we all love, but better in every way!
Laowa 12mm Zero-D Cine
Laowa aka Venus Optics is a well known lens manufacturer made popular by their extremely unorthodox lens offerings and the clean images they can produce.
With exceptionnal image quality, the 12mm is veeery wide, featuring a 122 degrees angle of view on full frame. A specialty lens for sure, but if you want to go wide, you can’t go wrong with this one.
114m step ring included for MatteBox.

Riding the next new wave of anamorphic lenses, Blazar impressed the world with it’s NERO adapter, and it was of no surprise when they announced they would use it as a base for a lineup of proper anamorphic lenses. The Blazar Remus were borned.
