Precision Rehousing. Improved Performance.

The iconic Zeiss Super Speeds are recognised for their distinctive optical character. At TLS, we’ve combined these legendary optics with our precision rehousing expertise to create a set of Super 16mm lenses designed for the demands of modern cinema production.

The Rehousing.

The TLS rehousing process goes beyond the exterior. We’ve enhanced the mechanical design to improve functionality and reliability while preserving the character of the original Zeiss optics.

A Cohesive Zeiss Super Speed Set

The TLS-rehoused Zeiss Super 16mm set comprises five lenses ranging from 9.5mm to 50mm, all with a consistent T1.3 aperture for exceptional low-light performance and creative flexibility.
