Every day until our Cine Gear Wrap Party and Open House we are going to give you another reason to stop by and check out our newest gear. Since we missed Sunday, we have 2 for you today. Up next is the @zerooptik Bausch & Lomb 75mm T2.5 Baltar. The original Baltars predate the Super Baltars, with our sets dating back to the 1940s. They are the first lens rehousing project Zero Optik took on, and what a great choice that was. The lenses are sharper than most people expect: sharp on center with softer edges. They have medium contrast. Bokeh can have a lot of texture and swirl depending on your focus distance. Flares are a lovely blue, purple, and peach thanks to the gorgeous original single layer coatings. The 40mm and longer cover full frame. And we also offer Ed Lachman, ASC’s personal set of “Ultra Baltars” which give you additional lens options to give you a full set that covers full frame digital sensors. 

This amazing lens and many more will be available to check out at our Cine Gear Wrap Party & Open House, June 7, from 2:00-8:00pm at Old Fast Glass. We will have food, drinks, coffee, ice cream, and 2 lens bars!

Every day until our Cine Gear Wrap Party and Open House we are going to give you another reason to stop by and check out our newest gear. Today’s reason: the @zerooptik vintage Leica M primes.

We have 2 sets: one featuringthe 1960s SUMMICRONs and 1 set featuring the 1960s SUMMILUX and NOCTILUX primes. Both sets are gorgeous. They are flattering, they deliver gorgeous lens flares, and they have very beautiful bokeh. There are very few sets of these in the world, so this is one of the only places to test them out.

These lenses and many more will be available to check out at our Cine Gear Wrap Party & Open House, June 7, from 2:00-8:00pm at Old Fast Glass. We will have food, drinks, coffee, ice cream, and 2 lens bars!

Every day until our Cine Gear Wrap Party and Open House we are going to give you another reason to stop by and check out our newest gear. Today’s reason: the Kinoptik Tegea 9.8mm T2.3, beautifully rehoused by @zerooptik for @ancientoptics

This is one of the widest vintage lenses available. The new Zero Optik housing is a masterpiece - as beautiful as it is functional. This lens is surprisingly sharp with almost no distortion, and an incredible close focus. It has a slightly dreamy character wide open that no modern lens can replicate. You have to see it to believe it.

Come test out this lens and so many more at our Cine Gear Wrap Party & Open House, June 7, from 2:00-8:00pm at Old Fast Glass. We will have food, drinks, coffee, ice cream, and 2 lens bars!

𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗢𝗣𝗧𝗜𝗞 𝗧𝗘𝗚𝗘𝗔 𝟵.𝟴𝗺𝗺 - This revolutionary wide-angle lens was one of Stanley Kubrick's favorite lenses, famously used to shoot scenes in A Clockwork Orange (1971) and The Shining (1980); both films photographed by DP John Alcott, BSC.

The TEGEA 9.8mm T2.3 (f/1.8) is one of the widest rectilinear lenses ever made. This lens shows no distortion, which is amazing considering its age and extreme wide field of view.

The lens was originally designed for the 35mm format but easily covers super 35. Now revived through the efforts of @ancientoptics in collaboration with @zerooptik , this iconic lens is ready to be rediscovered by a new generation of filmmakers.

It is sharp with minimal flaring when bright point light sources are present. Contrast and flares become more controlled when stopped down. The lens shows virtually no focus breathing, and Zero Optik improved the close focus to just an inch away from the front element.

It's construction features nine elements in six groups with sophisticated aspherical elements and exotic rare materials like lanthanum and fluorite glass.

It pairs well with many vintage lenses like Kowa Prominars, Cooke Panchros, Zeiss Super Speeds, Super Baltars, Canon Rangefinders, and many more.

You can compare the KINOPTIK TEGEA side by side at different T-stops to over 120 lens sets in our CINEFLARES PRO lens library.

Zero Optik has worked on some truly rare lenses over the years, but these unicorns are almost always remarkable because of their extreme age or cost. This Zenitar 35mm f/1.0 is a completely modern piece of optical engineering, announced in 2018 as part of a partnership between Leica Camera and Russian brand Zenit to bring an affordable rangefinder kit to market, but was only available for a few short years before Russia invaded Ukraine and was shut out of trade with the West for its ongoing violence in the region.

Only a handful of these lenses have come up for sale since and @joelhoneywell was the first of our clients to see its potential for cinematography. The performance and character are reminiscent of the old f/1.0 Noctilux-M 50mm, despite the vast difference in age, and it features 11” minimum focus once rehoused, making it extremely versatile for all kinds of jobs.

This is a very limited project because of the scarcity of the optics, so we don’t have finished lenses for sale. Depending on when you read this, however, @lenssommelier may have one or two spares that can be brought to Zero Optik for rehousing. Anyone interested should contact him directly for more information.

#TBT to the official unveiling event for the ASC Todd-AO 65mm Primes at the ASC Clubhouse!

@the__asc

#ICYMI, the ASC Todd-AO 65mm Primes reflect years of hard work and perfectionism, resulting in one of the rarest sets of cinema lenses in existence. Rehoused by Alex Nelson (@ahncinema) at @zerooptik and tuned to perfection by Greig Fraser, ACS, ASC (@greigfraser_dp), the project preserves the lenses’ vintage character while adapting them for today’s digital workflows. The first to use them was Christian Sprenger, ASC (@casprenger), for Apple TV’s WIDOW'S BAY (Proudly supported by Keslow Camera.)

“They have this painterly quality that you hope your lenses will have, but most of the time they don’t... They all have good close focus, something that Alex always does so fantastically with his rehousing. The size and form factor of the lenses are also great. We put these lenses through everything: in splash bags, on a Ronin, crazy handheld chasing actors down steep slopes... We didn’t treat them any differently than any other lens, and they have such an elegance to them." - Christian Sprenger, ASC (Excerpt from American Cinematographer November 2025 [Feature by Jay Holben (@jayholben)])

Originally developed in the 1950s for Oklahoma! and other 65mm epics, the Todd-AO lenses helped define the widescreen era of Hollywood. Now, they're ready to redefine the modern cinematography landscape, exclusively at Keslow Camera.

Alongside Shelly Johnson, ASC (@shellyjohnsonasc), we were thrilled to have our own Brad Wilson [@1bradwilson] (VP, Business Development) join a fantastic panel discussing these unique lenses and the process of bringing them to life, featuring ASC members Steve Gainer (@stevegainer_asc), Richard Edlund, and Christian Sprenger, with key insights from Alex Nelson at Zero Optik.

On this music video, we’re building our flashback language using restored 1950s Todd-AO lenses from the Zero Optik collaboration with the ASC and @keslowcamera. These 65mm lenses, once left in storage for decades, have been meticulously brought back to life, carrying with them the visual DNA of films like The Sound of Music, Oklahoma!, Patton, Around the World in 80 Days, and Cleopatra.

What makes them special isn’t just the history, it’s the way they render the image. Softer contrast. Organic falloff at the edges. A subtle texture that pulls the sharpness out of modern sensors.

Paired with the URSA Cine 12K LF, this glass becomes a tool for storytelling, taking the clinical precision of digital and shaping it into something more dimensional, more emotional, more human. For our flashbacks, that shift in texture becomes the language of memory.

We’re working with a full set—18, 28, 40, 50, the 55 “double nickel,” 60, 80, and a beautiful 135. There’s a reason cinematographers continue to return to vintage optics. It’s not nostalgia—it’s intention. The imperfections create identity. They give the image a point of view.

Keslow Camera has built an incredible collection of vintage glass. If you haven’t explored vintage glass, start testing. Push beyond the default look. You may find an entirely new visual language waiting for your next project.

NEW GEAR! Our widest lens available for the 65mm format - introducing the new @zerooptik Canon+ 10mm T3.7. This lens covers @arri ALEXA 265 and 65 Open Gate, @fujifilmx_us GFX Eterna 55, and @blackmagicnewsofficial Ursa Cine 17K 65. The lens is sharp wide open, and aberrations are well controlled, but it still has some lovely character, with more falloff, and beautiful lens flares you expect from vintage lenses.

The lens features Zero Optik’s new “Name Tag” lens mount, which usesa new subset of the Cooke i/ Technology system and transmits lens identifying information to the camera including: focal length, max T-stop, serial number, manufacturer, and product family.

Reach out for rentals or to test. Test footage coming soon!

The lens features Zero Optik’s new “Name Tag” lens mount, which usesa new subset of the Cooke i/ Technology system and transmits lens identifying information to the camera including: focal length, max T-stop, serial number, manufacturer, and product family.

Reach out for rentals or to test. Test footage coming soon!

NEW GEAR! The TAMASHII 140mm T2.6 has arrived! This is currently the longest focal length in the set, which is now 12 lenses from 18mm to 140mm. The 140mm is sharp wide open, with beautiful textured bokeh, and vintage flare character that modern lenses just can’t replicate. This lens is physically very small for a 140mm prime, and it focuses extremely close. Minimum focus is just 2’ 3” from the sensor plane, which is about 1 to 1.5 feet closer than most lenses in this focal range, and gets you close to macro territory.

TAMASHII primes represent the next chapter in rehoused vintage lenses, and they are the result of a collaboration between @old_fast_glass @zerooptik and @ancientoptics.

We have multiple sets of TAMASHII lenses. Call or email us to set up a lens test or a rental.

Zero Optik’s Canon-based 10mm made its debut four years ago as one of the widest rectilinear primes available for full-frame cinematography. With even larger sensors becoming increasingly accessible to filmmakers, we are happy to announce that our 10mm is now available for use with 65-format bodies!

@rawcameraco will be the first to offer these for rental, but existing owners can send their lenses in to be retrofitted quickly for a small fee.

Those traveling to Poland next week for @atmsystem Lens Days will have the opportunity for a special hands-on demo, but if you can’t get to Warsaw, swipe through to get a taste of how this performs on the @fujifilmx_us GFX100ii!
