Cooke S2/3 Speed Panchro Lens Set (TLS)

The Cooke S2/3 Speed Panchro set is vintage Cooke glass rehoused by TLS, with the original optics in a modern cine body. It keeps the warm Panchro look with the handling of modern Cooke lenses.

TLS's rehouse is widely regarded as the best available. A cam-driven focus virtually eliminates backlash and image shift, and the chassis-style housing lets a matte box attach to the front without affecting focus movement. The mechanics offer the feel of modern Cooke lenses, while the glass is entirely original, Series II and Series III.

The housings share a 110mm front diameter with an M105 filter thread, and the lenses are PL mount with Super 35 coverage. T-stops are T2.2 on the wider lenses and T2.3 on most of the others, with the 100mm DFP at T2.8. Because the glass is original, each lens has its own character.
