We have Bausch & Lomb Super Baltar PL 5 Lens Sets available for rent at Stray Angel Films.
These wonderful lenses were the industry standard during the 1950s through the 1970s on films like The Godfather. These lenses are great on digital and they really “take the edge off” digital sensors.
The TLS lenses have a Cam follower design and common 110mm fronts. The mechanical action on these lenses is incredible — just like a modern S4 lens, smooth with many spaced out focus marks.
The Bausch & Lomb Super Baltars were released in the early 1960s as a successor to the original Baltars. The Super Baltars were designed to be compatible with reflex 35mm film cameras, which had spinning mirrors, by using retrofocus optical designs for the wider lenses. They became popular for cinema lens choices for decades due to their impressive 20mm T2.3 focal length and slightly faster aperture of f2 (T2.3) compared to the original Baltars’ maximum aperture of f2.3 (T2.5). The lenses are known for their iconic blue/purple coatings, which produce warm-toned images with beautiful blue or purple flares depending on the white balance and light source. They are sharp on the center and have medium contrast, with softer edges than modern lenses. They also have a textured bokeh when used wide open.
This set includes 20mm, 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 75mm Bausch & Lomb Super Baltar lenses.
