As large-format cinematography continues to expand the visual language of modern production, the demand is no longer just for coverage, but for character. The Vega65 and Mamiya 645 lenses remain part of that ongoing conversation, where optical precision meets vintage rendering—shaping images that feel expansive in scale yet intimate in their organic texture.

“I don’t want lenses to feel perfect. Perfect can be boring at times. I want emotion in the image.”

In a world built on contrast—beauty and breakdown, control and chaos—the camera needed to move without friction. TLS Canon FD rehousing gave Rick Joaquim () the freedom to let the image breathe, while keeping the workflow solid enough for a demanding production as Bad Influencer TV Series on Netflix.

That’s a wrap, what a fantastic time at Cine Gear Expo 2026!

From reconnecting with filmmakers and industry partners to showcasing our latest lens innovations, the energy in LA was incredible. The response to our TLS Angénieux Zoom, our Vega65 and our latest rehoused Nikon AI/AI-S lenses was overwhelmingly positive – with plenty of excitement around what's next for the industry.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the Band Pro ( ) booth, and to Daniel and Amnon Band for their continued support. The future is looking bright, and we're excited for what's ahead. 🙌

What if the most powerful part of an image isn't what's in focus, but what's hiding in the blur?

Award-winning cinematographer Fabian Gamper, who recently received Gold for Best Cinematography at the German Film Awards 2026, chose TLS Cooke Speed Panchros for Sound of Falling—a film where memory, time, and emotion intertwine. Their distinctive, organic bokeh became an integral part of the visual language, helping create a world where the past never feels entirely gone.

"It felt to us as if a ghost from another time could be lurking in the blur at any moment."

Discover how vintage optics helped shape one of the most acclaimed feature films of the year.
