INDUSTRY BRIEFINGS
[ A CLASSIC REBORN ] TLS REHOUSES ICONIC OLYMPUS OM LENSES W e know many cinematographers will be itching to get their hands on TLS’s rehoused Olympus OM lens range, originally designed back in the seventies by legendary lens designer Yoshihisa Maitani. Beloved for their exceptional sharpness, natural rendering and rich colour reproduction, these optics offer an organic, cinematic look and smooth contrast, making them a firm favourite. But while the lenses stood the test of time, their original stills housing wasn’t built for modern digital cinema. So, TLS has brought them back from the grave; reengineering them with cine-ready housings, preserving floating elements for consistent sharpness, adding variable focus for precise pulling and unifying mechanics across the set and, ultimately, bringing them fully up to date without sacrificing the original character. The TLS Olympus OM range spans 18-135mm and is available to purchase now.
